About Me

Welcome to my culinary website!

My name’s Kateryna Maznikova, and I’m a certified cook (Rouxbe Professional Cook Certification) and a professional banker : )

I’m originally from South Ukraine and a few years ago my family and I moved to Vienna, where I currently live, work and create. Culinary is my way of exploring the world and expressing myself. Being in a constant search for new tastes, stories, techniques, and senses, I’ve recently realized what culinary actually means in terms of the modern world and my life. It can be described in three words: Taste. Respect. Harmony. Let me now explain what I mean:

Taste.

Whatever diets and trends, food must be delicious and it will be if one chooses the right ingredients and cooking techniques.

Respect.

You should respect yourself: your body, soul and mind. Don’t overeat, don’t eat junk  food (or at least not too often : )), get not only nutrients from your food but also knowledge, inspiration, and delight;

Respect food – buy less but better-quality food from reliable suppliers, plan your meal, minimize food waste, respect nature, and human labor;

Respect people surrounding you and try your hardest to make food pleasurable – mind your table manners, lay a beautiful table, cook for and with your family and loved ones, invite friends to yours, treat them with good food, host breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and other kinds of parties:).

Harmony.

In the modern world, there is an abundance of ready nutrition plans, processed food, and over-enhanced tastes. The world responds to this abundance with extreme and unordinary diets. What diet is right for you? In fact, it’s quite easy. You should plan your diet according to the season, place where you live, your emotional and physical condition, state of your mind, lifestyle and your level of physical activity.

Taste. Respect. Harmony. is my view on a healthy nutrition in the modern world.

Here you will find various recipes (with photos taken by me) from different countries and periods, both easy and complex, and suitable for different diets. Each recipe has its own story, cooking technique, and all of them can be cooked at home.

Welcome and let your cooking be pleasant and interesting!

Chili, AKA Chili with Meat or Chili con Carne.⁠ Chili, AKA Chili with Meat or Chili con Carne.⁠
Chili con Carne, a beloved American dish, has roots reaching back thousands of years to its origins in Mexico. Indigenous people cooked meat with chili peppers and local herbs and spices.⁠
⁠
By the 19th century, Chili con Carne started to be sold on the streets of Texas and gradually gained popularity as a street food. Back then, the dish mainly consisted of meat and chili.⁠
⁠
As time passed, the dish evolved, replenishing with new ingredients like beans, tomatoes, carrots, onions and added spices.⁠
⁠
The history of this dish is as rich as its flavor!⁠
⁠
This gorgeous hot and spicy dish is both flavorful and nutritious. I highly recommend making a big batch to enjoy.⁠
⁠
Bon Appétit!⁠

Red Seaweed Coleslaw, AKA Dulse Slaw.⁠ It’s a Red Seaweed Coleslaw, AKA Dulse Slaw.⁠
It’s a variation of the well known American Coleslaw to which we will add red seaweed. It’s even got a fancy name, Dulse Slaw. Dulse is a type of red seaweed with dense, broad leaves that have a perfect texture and flavor for cabbage. You can buy this seaweed dried, salted, or fresh. Dried seaweed will expand in volume by 2 or 3 times when soaked. Salted seaweed also requires soaking in cold water to remove excess salt. ⁠
⁠
Coleslaw is traditionally made with mayonnaise, so we will use a homemade mayonnaise made with either olive oil or avocado oil.⁠
⁠
Bon Appétit!⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
150 g of Dulse algae (50 g dried seaweed)⁠
1/4 head of Cabbage⁠
1 Carrot⁠
50 g of Celery root⁠
30 g of Raisins⁠
1 Mandarin⁠
1/2 of a pod Chili fresh ⁠
1 clove of Garlic⁠

Liver with Apples, AKA Leber Berliner Art.⁠ I wo Liver with Apples, AKA Leber Berliner Art.⁠
I won’t get tired of saying, “Liver (and other organs) is a superfood!” Liver with apples has long been a part of Ukrainian cuisine, but if you dig a bit deeper, this dish came to us from Germany, as Leber Berliner Art translates to Berlin Style Liver. Classically German dishes are cooked of veal liver, coated in flour and fried quickly. Then, they saute onions and apples cut into rings in the same pan.⁠
⁠
We will make, naturally, a gluten-free version of the dish. We won’t add sugar instead, we will caramelize the onions well so they will give just enough sweetness. Plus, we will change the order of sauteing. Onions come first, then apples and then liver at the end. There are two reasons for that. An aesthetic one, if you saute the apples and onions after the liver, they will look “dirty” because of the bits of liver. The second reason is the temperature. It’s nice when the liver is hot while the onions and apples are warm, not the other way around.⁠
⁠
It takes very little time to make the dish, yet the combination of flavors is magnificent! You can use either veal/beef or chicken liver if you like. Also, you can use pork, rabbit, lamb liver, etc.⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
500 g of Chicken liver ⁠
50 g of Ghee ⁠
3 Onion⁠
2 Apple ⁠
2 sprigs of Thyme⁠
to taste Salt⁠
to taste Grounded black pepper⁠

Chashushuli — Georgian Meat Stew.⁠ Chashushuli Chashushuli — Georgian Meat Stew.⁠
Chashushuli is a Georgian veal stew. It sounds so simple…Every cuisine has a similar dish. But I can compare taste and flavor of chashushuli only to Indian curry but definitely not with a regular veal stew. Chashushuli uses Georgian spices and herbs that create a flavor explosion in your mouth! ⁠
⁠
You must try it out!⁠
⁠
All the ingredients in classic chashushuli are only stewed, no searing or other high temperatre cooking methods.⁠
⁠
Another interesting fact about chashushuli. It doesn’t use any broth or water needed, onion releases its juices which meat is stewed in. That’s why it’s important to use equal parts of onion and meat! ⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
⁠
500 g Beef⁠
500 g Onion⁠
500 g Tomato fresh ⁠
3 tbsp Vegetable oil ⁠
1 tsp Utskho-suneli ⁠
1 tsp Imereti saffron⁠
1 tsp Ground coriander ⁠
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper or ground spicy chilli⁠
Salt⁠
1 bundle Coriander leaves⁠
1 bundle Basil leaves⁠
4 cloves Garlic⁠

Romanian Leek Stew with Olives, AKA Praz cu Maslin Romanian Leek Stew with Olives, AKA Praz cu Masline.⁠
The Romanian dish, Leek Stew with Vegetables and Spices (in Romanian: Praz cu Masline), should become a star in every kitchen! Pleasant to the taste, with a slight sourness, this refreshing dish is an irreplaceable source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.⁠
