  • Olia Hercules, chef and author of “Summer Kitchens: Recipes and Reminiscences from Every Corner of Ukraine,” is at home making potato cakes inspired by ones found near the border of Ukraine and Belarus. These potato cakes are uniquely leavened with the help of yeast, and are filled with a mixture of cannellini beans and feta cheese. Olia serves them with a simple garlic yogurt and a bit of chili paste. Check out the recipe here: www.vice.com/en/article/5dzxq...

      Choose not to fuck around with hot oil. Be careful. The worst burns I’ve seen you might not even believe. Not as a brag, but it comes with making a living cooking. My best friend once dipped his entire hand in a deep fryer trying to catch a sauté pan that fell from his station and he saved the girl on the fryer from serious injury doing so. Pressure bandage, back at work the next day. Not even the worst burn he says he ever had.

      I said “maybe” western. And I put a “(?)” to signify not wanting to consider the US singularly but also being unsure if this was a phenomenon of other western countries. Had you two read my comment in earnest, you wouldn’t be asking me questions, in the form of “huh?” Or “Why...” you could’ve just said, “No, we don’t do that where I’m from.”

    This is actually a romanian recipe, called " tocini". We do them simple and without any fillings. Also the so called yougurt isn't traditional done like that. That's the lazy way out. The garlic should be crushed in a mortar with salt until you get bored and 5 minutes after. Add oil until it gets a tick paste kind of like mayo and then add sour cream.
