The Main Event

While chefs in fancy restaurants might pride themselves on composing a work of art on the plate, the less-applauded task of everyday cooking can be just as creative when done with love and care. Although beautifully crafted restaurant meals can be unforgettable, simple home-cooked meals and the feelings they evoke also leave a lasting imprint on our minds and, more importantly, in our hearts. Rustic, seasonal and local — whether in restaurants or at home, main meals in the Baltic region tend to be based around simple principles. However this does not mean they are lacking in originality, as ancient ingredients and methods are being used in ever more unique ways, with both a nod to history and a vision for the future.
