Shashlik

No one can count how many hundreds of centuries is the dish called «shashlik». It is believed that as soon as Prometheus gave fire to all the nations, all of them at once learned to do shashlik, but all in their own way. It is known that in ancient Rome, and ancient Greece animals and birds were roasted wholly and dividing into separate parts. Of course, shashlik, in the first place — the invention of nomadic cattle-breeders. Despite the distinction of names in different nations, the point is one — skewer and meat. Much water has flowed under the bridges since then. Eras, borders, customs were changing, haute cuisine was born, in which the aesthetics took up of satiety and practicality. Many recipes were forgotten and some completely forgotten, but not shashlik.

Napoleon cake

Napoleon cake is one of national desserts made with up to 16 layers of crispy pastry filled with creamy custard. It resembles French mille-feuille but with more layers of alternating custard and pastry. Exact recipes can vary a bit from cook to cook—this Napoleon cake recipe yields a 10-layer cake to save a little time and avoid the potential pitfalls of a taller confection.
