Thanksgiving preparations are in full swing by now, and we hope you’re enjoying the cheerful holiday mood already. We’ve shared some traditional recipes on our last blog post, and today we’re inviting you to try something slightly different. Our team members (or family, as we oftentimes say) and friends are sharing their seasonal favorites for you to experiment and enjoy.
Justė is the digital mind in our family, and she admits to be in love with Lithuanian fall mainly because of its mesmerizing color palette. Longer, chillier evenings encourage her to stay cozied-up at home, testing new recipes, revisiting favorite ones, and, of course, sharing her kitchen adventures with the most loved ones. This curd pie with pears is simplicity at its finest – easy to bake, it always creates a festive atmosphere. And those peeking pear stems always remind of birthday candles, don’t they?

Laura is our dear friend and the architect of one our shops, and her creativity often extends to her kitchen. She’s sharing a very special – and quite unique – recipe with us today: her great-grandmother’s cabbage pie, which originated in Siberia. Once Laura’s mom came to Lithuania, she brought the recipe with her, and now it’s mostly Laura herself who bakes it. This pie is very filling and warming – perfect for the cold season, thus is mostly cooked through fall and winter.
