Best Grandmother's Dish(es):
From my angelic, sweet-faced, short and squeezable Grandma: Savory Mince with Mashed Potatoes, Shepherd's Pie, Chicken and Dumplings, and toast with Scottish Orange Marmalade. Oh, and her gorgeous wedding cakes, which I never tasted but simply enjoyed from a respectful distance - the incredibly minute and detailed work on each one.
From my MIL, not my grandmother but a huge influence on my children: vareniki; holuptsi; miasa-na-potechkia; kapusta; koteleti; fried and baked chicken; ratatouille; summer borscht; vegetable soup with pesto; boeuf bourguignon; Pascha bread; the Christmas Eve 12-dish vegetarian feast.
