An exercise in sensible consumption: some people, of course, drink brine in the morning, but in most cases they pour it down the sink. Here, brine is the highlight of the program, it adds salt, sourness, and the aroma of spices and herbs on which it has had time to infuse. You can even use a strong vinegar marinade from factory-made cucumbers and tomatoes in the sauce, just slightly dilute its corrosiveness with water. The sauce will make any boiled vegetables more interesting, it will perform well in vinaigrette (but in this case , measure the presence of pickles), but brine dressing is especially good in salads with fresh cabbage - from coleslaw to vitamin.

A brilliant invention. Usually a jar of brine is somewhere in the back of the refrigerator, waiting for its moment. Here, the brine played one of its main roles - it has long been known to everyone that it has a beneficial effect on the product that is to be fried. After meeting this brine, the chicken turns out more tender than tender, and most importantly - you can no longer salt it. We were lucky, for this recipe we used brine from Dijon cucumbers, and this sweet and sour taste after a couple of hours obviously decorated the dish. And here you also need bourbon, which adds an interesting piquancy, and the taste of the wings turned out to be multifaceted, more complex than you could imagine. Well, again, no one is stopping you from remembering about pure, unclouded bourbon during dinner.

The recipe was born from a discovery: it turns out that even the most shabby white cabbage, when combined with honey, acquires significance. The honey brine creates a sweetish cocoon around the leaves, and inside - that same irrepressible cabbage spirit. Why is it better to roll up whole leaves instead of shredded cabbage in this recipe? This gives more options: you can use the leaves for stuffed cabbage rolls and dolma, and prepare salad dressings with honey brine. However, shredded cabbage with honey will also be an excellent filling for pies, strudels and kulebyakas.
