Café Glacee (a.k.a. Chocolate Black Russian).
This Sheridan's coffee liqueur recipe is delicious! I like the combination of coffee and chocolate with orange that is why I use Grand Marnier liqueur.

Herbed Grain Salad With Mushrooms, Hazelnuts and Pears
Instead of the usual Mediterranean flavors, this grain salad has a whiff of Eastern Europe, with dill, hazelnuts and mushrooms. Ripe pear adds juicy and sweet notes. It's great for fall and winter parties, and can be prepared well ahead of time, but wait till the last minute to stir everything together.
Chocolate Kolbasa (Russian No-Bake Fudge Cookies)
The chef Bonnie Morales Frumkin upgraded this recipe from a treat her Russian family often made during the Soviet era as a way to stretch precious supplies like cookies and cocoa powder. By adding bittersweet chocolate and toasted hazelnuts, she has made it positively luxurious. The treat gets its name from its resemblance to a salami, with bits of nuts and cookies studding each slice.

Russian Salad
Basically a vegetable-studded potato salad with mayonnaise, Russian salad is hugely popular all over the world for family gatherings and festive events. It’s a beloved, traditional party dish riffed on almost everywhere but my own home: I’d only ever seen pasty, congealed versions I would never wish to eat until I tried this one from Vladimir Ocokoljic, served at his Serbian restaurant Kafana in New York City. While not quite as demanding as his aunt back in Belgrade, who used to slice even the peas in half, Mr. Ocokoljic insists on the tiny dice (each ingredient should match the size of a pea) and emphatically dislikes any sweet pickles (only gherkins or cornichons are a fit), making the finished dish delicate, luscious and savory. Whisking pickle brine into the mayonnaise creates a liquidy slurry, loose enough to dress the salad without its becoming smushed and gluey.
Creamy Braised Chanterelles and Potatoes
The simplicity of this dish may make it sound dull, but its flavors are stunningly earthy, rich and deep. It makes a luxurious fall or winter vegetarian main course. The chef who wrote the recipe for this Russian classic, Bonnie Frumkin Morales, says she knows it is tempting to add garnishes like snipped chives or seasonings like black pepper. But the pure flavor of the mushrooms and cream, which saturates the potatoes, is best appreciated alone. You'll need to buy crème fraîche or smetana (not regular sour cream) and heavy cream that hasn't been ultrapasteurized to ensure the sauce stays stable without separating and becoming greasy.
Pavlova With Mango Puree And Berries
Buckwheat Blini With Caviar
The holidays present a number of opportunities to splurge, and New Year’s Eve is the ultimate night for it. Though it may seem a cliché, the classic combination of blini and caviar is the perfect example — indulgent, elegant and delectable to the extreme. If you are hosting a small crowd for drinks (preferably Champagne or vodka with these), it’s all you need to serve, though it also can be a sit-down first course. Preparation is simple: the blini are topped with a dab of crème fraîche, a spoonful of caviar and a drizzle of butter.
Beet Green, Rice and Ricotta Blinis
The idea for this comes from Deborah Madison’s Chard, Ricotta and Saffron Cakes, from her amazing and wonderful new book, “Vegetable Literacy,” which explores vegetables from 12 families of the vegetable kingdom. Ms. Madison is always inspiring, and I think this is her best book to date. These are chunkier than pancakes because of all the rice, but they are more cake than fritter. Let them rise on the griddle – don’t press them down – and allow them to cook for 3 minutes on each side. I like to serve them with a dollop of tomato sauce. You can make smaller cakes to serve as hors d’oeuvres or snacks.

Blini With Smoked Herring Topping
Herring is a classic accompaniment for blini. A fish high in omega-3 fats, herring is sold both pickled and smoked. I use canned smoked herring for this topping. If you’ve never tasted herring preserved this way, you’re in for a treat.
