Substitution Guidelines
With the rise of allergies and alternative diets, it can be really challenging to find recipes that fit your needs.
Here are some tips to help you with recipes on my site.
* All of my recipes that call for any type of bread cubes or crumbs will work with gluten-free breads.
* Many of my salads call for sour cream and mayo - they originally called for all mayo. You can also use fake sour cream or vegan sour cream.
* Baking recipes that call for butter can use margarine, cooking recipes can use oil.
* Recipes marked with dairy-free, vegan or gluten-free can either have offending ingredients substituted or omitted.
* Usually milk and half-n-half can be substituted with soy, rice, coconut and other nut milks.
I hope this helps!

(English) Thoughts on Pelmeņi
For my birthday today, I wanted to talk about one of my favorite Latvian foods: pelmeņi. I’ve always loved dumplings of all sorts, especially potstickers and gyoza which have been the source of many a great meal for me over the years. These aren’t very different – simply a different mix of ingredients. They’re not natively Latvian – pelmeņi are a very popular Russian (and previously Soviet) “fast food” and are found all over Eastern Europe. Then again, pelmeņi are related to ravioli, gyoza and wontons – every country and culture seems to have their own twist on stuffed pasta.
