Classic Italian pizza dough

Our family has one delicious tradition - every Saturday night we all bake homemade pizza :-) I knead the dough, my husband rolls it out and our child puts the stuffing. Of course you can buy a ready-baked pizza almost everywhere (especially here in Italy), but believe me, a homemade one tastes completely different. And it's so easy to make! We have tried many recipes for pizza dough and finally we have chosen our favorite one (it was given to us by a pizza chef Pino - a childhood friend of my husband). So, open the flour, take a rolling pin and make this delicious pizza for your family :-)

To make a classic Italian pizza dough you need:

Smoked salmon and zucchini quiche

When it's sunny outside food should be bright too! This smoked salmon and zucchini quiche is just the right thing :-) Delicate zucchini and flavorful smoked salmon make it irresistable and perfect for any occasion: a holiday party, buffet table or a usual everyday lunch or dinner. I use ready-made shortcrust pastry for this pie, so it's super quick and easy to make. Enjoy it!

Rice and salami soup with cheese triangles

In Ukraine we usually eat soups as a first course. We've got so many soup recipes that I can't even count them all! Since I moved to Italy I've got used to pasta and risotto but anyway soups are always in my heart (and stomach eh eh), and I cook them rather often for my Italian husband too. Here is one of our favorite recipes - a creamy rice and salami soup with cheese triangles :-) 

To make this soup you need:

Potato cutlets with peas filling (Ukrainian potato zrazy)

Potato zrazy is a popular Ukrainian dish. They are made with potato puree and can be filled with minced meat, mushrooms or mashed peas. When I was a child my mum and granny used to cook them very often and now I make them for my family (my Italian husband just adores this dish), zrazy are very quick and easy to make, you'll need only few simple and cheap ingredients and the result will surprise you:-) Zrazy are traditionally served with some sour cream or tomato sauce. Here is the recipe of my favorite zrazy with mashed peas filling.
