Hey cooking feeds! 🍜🍽️ I've got a vacation coming up, and want to cook something new each day, so I'm looking for recipes. Can you share recipes for local dishes with me? Bonus points for: no tomatoes, relatively easy to get ingredients and recipes for things that aren't already popular world-wide :D

Here’s my mother’s potato salad recipe, which I’ve made twice in the last couple of weeks. It’s even more authentic with regular Hellman’s: www.grapevinecottage.com/food/rcp-rec...

Do you do any baking? I've got my great-grandmother's recipe for kolache (pastry with poppyseed or fruit jam filling). Handwritten and everything.

Sure, why not? I'm going to try everything!

Lovely! Here you go. I'm not sure about the sugar; it looks like it says 2 lbs but uh... That can't be right lol. I'll check with my mom!

Ok it's 2 tablespoons. Happy cooking and baking!

Awesome, thanks again! I've got a few other words I can't really decipher, would you mind helping me filling in the blanks? It's mainly the ingredients (perhaps they're unfamiliar to me brand names?), and a line on the second page:

Sure! (With a few of my comments in parentheses) 1 cake fresh yeast or dry yeast 1 cup oleo (margarine) Make 4 balls and/or they call it circles (This one just feels like weird syntax)

And another one: Zuchinni salad Zukes done in ribbons (use a mandolin) lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper whisked together chopped Italian parsley toasted pine nuts Combine all ingrediants and mix.

A really simple salad for a side: Carrot salad Julienne carrots Cumin toasted and ground orange zest, orange juice, oil, grated fresh ginger, salt, pepper whisked together. Chopped coriander. Combine all ingredients and mix.

Both look tasty! Are there set quantities you use for each ingredient, or is it all just mixing things, tasting, and adding some more of something? (I'm really, really bad at the latter, sadly).

Just noticed the lemon based dressing is missing oil. Definitely should have a bit of oil in it.

No quantities, sorry. I just go by "feel". I'd start with making the dressing and getting that to a point you like it and then do the rest.

I'm going to give it my best try then!
