My favourite dish
I find it difficult to say what the world cuisine I prefer. However, I do know that
I love sweets. My favourite dish is a "Napoleon"
cake. In
fact, the history of its name has nothing to do with the French commander, and
the cake’s name refers to the "Naples" (Naples origin). In our country, the first time
this dessert tasted in the early 20th century. It immediately gained popularity among the people.
"Napoleon" dessert is a layer cake with a light custard cream, sometimes
the cream could be replaced with condensed milk filling. This meal is beyond all praise. Every homemaker prepares it
for own recipe. I
love my mother's recipe for this dish, with usage of some fresh berries.
Once I tried to cook it with some frozen puff pastry just to get it in short time, it was quite tasty, but my mom’s recipe
was the prefect one. In fact, I would be interested to know whether this dish was tasted by Napoleon.
Если нужен перевод: Я затрудняюсь
сказать, какую кухню мира я предпочитаю. Тем не менее, я точно знаю, что люблю
сладости. Моим любимым блюдом является торт «Наполеон». На самом деле, история
его названия никак не связана с французским полководцем, название относится к «Неаполитанский»
(неаполитанского происхождения). В нашей стране впервые этот десерт попробовали
в начале 20 века. Он сразу приобрел популярность среди населения.
Торт «Наполеон» представляет
собой слоеный пирог с легким яично-молочным кремом, иногда крем заменяют на сгущённое
молоко. Эта еда выше всяких похвал. Каждая хозяйка готовит его по своему рецепту. Я очень люблю мамин
рецепт этого блюда, с добавлением свежих ягод. Однажды я попробовала
приготовить его с замороженного слоеного теста, было вкусно, но мамин рецепт
был лучше. На самом деле, мне интересно было ли блюдо попробовано самим Наполеоном.
My favourite dish is pilaf. Pilaf is well-known all over the world and is loved by many people. It is hard to say where it was first cooked but nowadays this dish is common in many different cultures. Especially it is common in Middle Eastern, Caucasian and Asian countries.
Today there are a lot of variations of this dish. So, pilaf is not only associated with rice and meat. There can also be fish, vegetables and fruit among its ingredients. In addition to that pilaf recipes vary from nation to nation. The proportion of the ingredients also plays a great role and influences the taste of pilaf.There are a lot of different ways to cook pilaf and some of them are kept a secret.It is needless to say that one can hardly get bored with pilaf.
Pilaf is also a good dish for those who like kitchen experiments. With so many recipes and variations there is always an opportunity to learn something new and widen one’s skills.
I also love cooking pilaf. I often cook this delicious dish for family dinner. I usually cook it with beef but sometimes I cook it with chicken.
To my mind, despite its rather simple ingredients pilaf adds a bit of festive touch to the table. I like soft texture of braised meat and taste of rice cooked in its broth. I think that a pilaf recipe should be a must-have in every home’s cookbook.
