Tinned beetroot is great for this recipe, making it ready in minutes. You can save the juice, freeze it and add it in place of the chilled water or ice. Try serving with a dollop of soured cream.

Date haroset
Recipe by: Katy
Haroset is a traditional Jewish Passover dish. This haroset recipe is more of a sweet, and very different from the typical apple based variety. It can be stored in the refrigerator for one week in an air-tight container.

Hungarian Goulash
Recipe by: ENVIRO2
This classic dish is warming and delicious. My mum made this when we were children, and we loved it. It's a good dish to use cheaper cuts of meat which become very tender when slowly cooked.. If it gets too thick, add a little water while it's cooking. Garnish with crème fraîche or sour cream.

Kolaches

This is a basic recipe for the traditional Czech pastry. They can be made with a variety of fillings, but this one uses your favourite jam. My preference is for a good quality apricot jam.

Chocolate Babka
Recipe by: Nina
This recipe is the next best thing to a bakery babka! Although babkas are traditionally yeast-risen breads, this one is more similar to a sweet quick bread or cake.

Romanian Apple Cake
Recipe by: Mona
This is a wonderfully simple, yet delicious cake. It is so moist and fresh, it will surely be a favourite with your family, just like it is with mine! Most of the preparation time is taken up in peeling and cutting the apples. A mixture of apples works great, although I usually use Golden Delicious.
