Ingredients: - 500g cottage cheese - 2 eggs - 80g all-purpose flour (or any other flour substitute) - 2 tbsp sugar - Pinch of cinnamon - Vegetable oil (for frying) - 50g raisins (optional) Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, flour and cinnamon using a fork or handheld mixer. Make sure to get rid of all lumps in the batter. Add raisins if using. Step 2: Put a non-stick frying pan on the stove on medium heat and add some oil to it. Step 3: Dust a clean work surface with some flour. Using a ladle, scoop the batter directly on the floured surface and create a patty. Continue the process until there is no batter left. Step 4: Before frying your syrniki, make sure the oil in the pan is very hot. Fry your syrniki in the same manner you would fry pancakes, on a medium-low heat until each side is golden brown. Step 5: Place the cooked syrniki on a paper towel to cool. Serve topped with powdered sugar, honey, maple syrup or try the traditional Russian way - with sour cream and your favourite jam.

Ingredients: - 8 carrots - 2 parsnips - 1 leek - 1 celeriac - 3 tbsp of tomato puree - 1 cup of water - Salt - Pepper - Allspice - 3 bay leaves - 2 eggs - Flour - Breadcrumbs - 5 pieces of white fish Step 1: Prepare all your vegetables, except for the leek, by peeling them. Wash the leek. Step 2: Grate the peeled vegetables. You can use a food processor or a manual grater. Grate the vegetables using the coarsest setting. Instead of grating the leek, chop it finely on a cutting board. After you’ve chopped the leek put it in a colander and rinse again. Step 3: Put two tablespoons of oil into a pan and wait until it’s warm. Then put the chopped leeks in and fry for five minutes until they release water. Season them lightly with salt and pepper. Step 4: Once the leeks have released water, you can put the rest of the vegetables in. Season them with two teaspoons of allspice, 3 bay leaves, salt and pepper to taste, and two tablespoons of tomato puree. Then stir everything together. Step 5: Add a cup of water and cover with a lid to boil for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of boiling take the lid off and let the excess water evaporate. Step 6: In the meantime, you can start preparing your fish. There are two ways you can go about it. For a healthier version you can oven bake the fish with salt, pepper, and spices of your choice. For a traditional version you can batter the fish in egg, flour and breadcrumbs. If you have any left-over bread, you might want to use it to make your breadcrumbs. Step 7: You can add salt, pepper, paprika, basil and thyme to the flour for a flavoursome coating of the fish. Dip the fish in egg, flour and breadcrumbs and fry for eight minutes on each side or until it’s fully cooked. Adjust the cooking time according to the size of the fillets you’re using. Step 8: Leave the fried fish on a piece of paper towel to get rid of any excess oil. Then mix the fish with your vegetables and it’s done.
