Salmon Gravlax Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Australian cooking class! ‘Gravad-lax’ means ‘buried salmon’ and refers to the ancient practice of wrapping salted fish in bark and burying it in the cold Scandinavian soil to preserve it through winter.

Cacik Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Turkish cooking class inspired by Somer Sivrioğlu! Yoghurt is a great accompaniment to anything fried as the acid cuts through the richness.
