Pirog & Sumrak
Sumrak
Have you ever thought about how a simple dish can feel like a memory, like a taste that takes you somewhere else?
Pirog
Ah, absolutely! Every pie, every dumpling, even a simple bowl of soup can stir up those old smells of grandma’s kitchen, the crackle of a fire, or that laughter in a crowded market. It’s like a flavor map that takes you straight back to a moment, to a place, to a hug—just by tasting it. That’s why I always try to keep a pinch of nostalgia in every recipe, so my guests can feel the story in each bite.
Sumrak
When flavors echo memories, the kitchen becomes a quiet temple, and each bite is a whispered prayer to what once was. Keep that quiet reverence in your dishes, and you’ll let the past sit beside the present, a soft, fragrant reminder that we’re all travelers.

That’s a beautiful way to think about it, and I love how each recipe turns the kitchen into a little meditation; I always try to let the past mingle with the present so every bite feels like a comforting pilgrimage.
