A classic British snack that is prepared in almost every pub. Behind the funny name "Toad in the Hole" are pork sausages, covered in batter and sent to the oven. The history of this dish goes back to the 17th century and, according to legend, in the birthplace of the recipe in Yorkshire, local poor people used pigeons instead of pork during hungry times. Nowadays, you can use beef or lamb sausages instead of pork - the essence of the recipe will not change dramatically.

Frog legs are a refined dish of French cuisine, symbolizing gastronomic finesse and boldness of flavor. Their history traces back to medieval France, where monks began preparing legs to bypass church meat prohibitions. The dish has a tender texture and a slightly sweet taste with nutty notes that are harmoniously highlighted by a marinade of white wine, thyme, and lemon juice. The crispy crust after frying adds an appetizing consistency, while the light sauce from the marinade enriches the flavor. Frog legs are served as a delicacy in upscale restaurants but can also be made at home to enjoy the refined taste that pairs perfectly with herbs and white wine.

Yeast pancakes with holes are a true wonder of Russian cuisine rooted in ancient traditions. These lacy pancakes amaze with their lightness and airiness due to the yeast dough. During preparation, the yeast creates a fine network of bubbles that give the pancakes their characteristic holes. Their taste is delicate, slightly sweet with a pleasant milky note, and the texture is soft and porous. Such pancakes pair excellently with jam, honey, sour cream or melted butter. They are served both for everyday meals and festive gatherings as they symbolize home comfort and hospitality. Hearty and aromatic, they warm the soul and evoke memories of cozy family evenings.

Excellent pancakes with holes are obtained in two cases. The first is if you saturate the dough with soda, acid and, as a result, carbon dioxide (see the recipe with kefir above). The second is if you add fresh yeast to them. We have cooked this recipe many times , and each time the holes turned out outstanding. This particular recipe was given to us by the chef of the Ruski restaurant Alexander Volkov-Medvedev - his interesting story is attached to the recipe.
