Russian cuisine

I cook for many years and enjoy sharing with all of their practical experience. And my family, which is not only the major taster of my cooking, but the most severe critic, strongly contributes to everything new and fresh ideas and their realization. But the kitchen - or rather, to his first self-prepared meals, and got my youngest son.

Not quite like the name of the dish - chicken cutlet diet. And until the end I do not know for what. The reasons are likely many, but the main - and inexplicable subconscious fear of all dietary, as yet at an early age is firmly lodged in my head that this - imposed restriction, and the reason for non-compliance - the possible negative consequences. Therefore, I prefer to call it a dish - chicken cutlets steam. It's one of the few dishes (I think) in the vapor tastes better performance than just fried.

Coincidentally (the will of fate, providence, or something else) that the recipe for this salad and the visit of the upcoming gala dinner one of the guests, who completely give up meat, fish, seafood and whole milk, just coincided.

Despite the fact that the cake with apricot jam turns out not simply tasty and delicious, and incredibly tasty and unrealistic. And eat it even faster than willing (though it takes a little time), I cook it quite often. And the reason - you need a real, tasty and rich apricot jam made from natural fruit, and not some jam, it is unclear on what to do and what the production has gone into its structure. But if it so happened that delicious toppings available - consider yourself very lucky. After all, everything else - simply elementary.
