Bon Appétit

On 15th August Julia Child, a famous American chef who brang French cuisine to American public, had a birthday. Thank you, Mr Google for telling me this fact. :)
That's why I decided to view some of her recepies and even try them in my free time.

But before that I remembered one nice period of my life.

It was last year, I think in August,  when there we REALLY BIG fires in Russia. Because of the smoke me and one of my best friends were stuck at home (well, noone would like to go out, right?). We were sooo bored because, basicly, what can you do in summer AT HOME? Right.
So one day, my friend (that ADORES cooking sweet things but never it them) offered me a cooking session - one week cooking something new everyday! That was a great idea and was pretty original as I've never had something like this.

So here are some photos (don't have all the week-photos):

1) Pie with cherry jam

After that my friend got a proposal for marriege. That means the pie was delicious!

2) Banitsa - traditional Bulgarian food!

Wup, now I'm a proud Bulgarian woman because I know how to cook this one! :)

3) Russian Honey cake "Medovik"

4) HOME-MADE pasta 

So proud of it!

Had to use my dad's white wine..oops.

My dad didn't even understand it was home-made. He thought we bought it. I guess, it means "nice work, girls!".

P.S If you really want to cook your home-made pasta...

...but it doesn't dry quickly...

...you can always try some wonderful equipment...like hair dryer!

It worked great for me :)
