Is #hortobágyipalacsinta really from #hortobágy? Do cowboys eat pancakes? What the heck is #reversespherification? Read my blog to find out! While #hortobágy #pancakes are often prepared from leftovers, my version is served with mini #stuffedpeppers, and #smokedpaprika oil, and #sourcream spheres obtained by #reversespherification – not a 30-minute dish! The wait is over! My #recipe for #hortobagyipalacsinta (#hortobágy #pancakes) is available #ontheblog at foodperestroika.com. #stuffedpancakes #paprika #hungariancuisine #hungary The smoothest #horseradish #vodka you've ever tasted, now #ontheblog at foodperestroika.com! #infusedvodka #ukraine #foodperestroika Horseradish #vodka, called khrinovukha, is a Ukrainian classic.
