Fold in bi carbonate soda and flour. Mix until it forms a dough - cover in clingfilm and let rest for 30 mins in fridge 4. Weight out dough and divide by 12 (You’re aiming for 12 layers of cakes) 5. Roll out each one till around 2-3mm thick and bake @ 180 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes 6. Once finished, use a cake tine to cut a silhouette around the baked dough, use fingers to remove the excess dough - DON’T THROW THIS AWAY!!!! 7. Repeat this process until each one is baked In the meantime, stir icing sugar and vanilla extract into sour cream until incorporated. Wish the double cream till it creates stiff peaks and fold into the sour cream mixture until incorporated 8. Once all layers have been baked, lay one on a flat plate and top with a big dollop (heaped tbsp) of the cream mixture ontop and spread out evenly till the edges 9. Repeat this process and finish with cream at the top. Run a small spatula around the edge of the cake to add rest of cream mixture covering it entirely 10. Using a food processor, blitz the leftover baked bits until it turns into a fine crumb 11. Sieve blitz crumbs ontop of the cake and using your hands to palm it into the side of the cake 12.

  1. Garlic Butter sirloin Steak with Creamy Mozzarella Parmesan Rigatoni 🙌🔥 P.s Happy lovers day 💙 Ingredients For the steak: sirloin steak 2 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp unsalted butter 4 cloves garlic, minced 1½ tsp Cajun seasoning ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp paprika ½ tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper For the cheesy rigatoni: 12 oz rigatoni pasta 2 tbsp unsalted butter 1 tbsp olive oil 1 small onion, finely diced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1½ cups heavy cream ½ cup whole milk 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese ½ cup cubed Velveeta cheese ¼ tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper ½ tsp Italian seasoning Directions: 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rigatoni until just al dente. Drain and set aside. 2. Pat the steak tips dry and season evenly with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. 3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until deeply golden with caramelized edges. Remove from the skillet and set aside. 4. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to the same skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then return the steak tips and toss until fully coated in garlic butter. Remove from heat and keep warm. 5. In a separate large pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Stir in garlic and cook briefly. 6. Pour in heavy cream and milk. Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. 7. Reduce heat to low. Add Velveeta cubes first and stir until fully melted and smooth. 8. Add mozzarella and Parmesan in batches, stirring constantly until the sauce becomes very thick, glossy, and heavily cheesy. 9. Add the cooked rigatoni and fold gently until every piece is completely smothered in cheese. The sauce should cling heavily to the pasta with visible cheese stretch when stirred. 10. Plate the cheesy rigatoni on one side and the garlic butter steak tips on the other. Spoon extra cheese sauce over the pasta and drizzle remaining garlic butter over the steak.

  1. National dish of Bulgaria! the recipe below uses shop-bought bought which is way easier This pie turned out so fantastic! Thank you so much @taralezhkov Ingredients 1 packet filo pastry (go to your local Eastern European / Turkish shop for the og stuff. Mainstream Bulgarian brands are Bella and Familia. For this recipe you want thin filo. You can use the French brand from the big supermarkets but the sheets are smaller so it’s more faff) 4 eggs 100g yoghurt 100g feta 150g leek, chopped 250g butter Salt 26-30cm tall sides pan or cake form or deep ovenproof pan lined with baking paper. Method Topping: Mix one egg, two tablespoons of yoghurt and a pinch of salt. Set aside as you’ll use it at the very end. Filling: saute the leek and get it nice and soft in some 50g of butter. Salt to taste. Set aside to cool as you don’t want your eggs to cook when you mix them in. Once cooled crumble the feta into the leek, add the remaining yoghurt and finally the 3 eggs. Preheat your oven to 180 fan. Melt the remaining butter and butter up the pan you’ll be using. Open up the filo packet. You want to butter up generously with a brush or spoon then scatter a spoon or two of the filling on your filo. Then roll up 3 sheets into a filo sausage, not too tight but not too loose either, and coil up to create the central roll. It will be the beginning of your spiral 🌀. If it’s too tight it will break especially at this stage. No biggie if it does btw. Keep joining until you fill your entire tray. Any remaining butter can go around in the cracks. Pour the egg and yoghurt topping and bake for 45-55 min in the oven till golden. (Optionally sprinkle some sesame seeds on top if you’re feeling bouji) Let cool for 10-15 min before taking out of the tin. #bulgaria #bulgaria🇧🇬 #bulgariatourism #bulgarianature #bulgarianfood #banitsa

  3. It’s been crazy overwhelming with the positive energy that came my way since the show has aired 4 weeks ago. Thank you everyone for the kindest messages. Genuinely didn’t know what to expect when I initially embarked on this journey. Just want to say a few things about why I agreed to join the panel of MasterChef, what my motivation is and answer some of the questions I often get asked these days. Through food I found my voice and a way to connect with my roots and culture that wasn’t as prominent during my design career. Food is possibly the strongest link to home - the Balkans. When agreeing to do the show I had a reason to spend time in my Bulgarian home - Sofia! I believe in the shared history and food culture of the region and I am perpetually excited about it. Hence why I felt my participation on the show could bring a view that is seldom echoed with audiences in the motherland :). I want to inspire and be inspired by people that believe we can create convincing grassroots culinary worlds and nurture an exciting and dynamic Balkan food scene. I hope to be one reason for likeminded people to get together around the idea. We often underestimate what we have locally while we gaze at the world around us. We can strong in our heritage and invite the world in! Someone recently said that Bulgarian restaurants can’t win a Michelin star with koftas. BULLS**T! Of course they can. And that would be the only genuine way to do it. Do we even want and need stars? Why define Balkan culture with a Franco-centric award of excellence. The one thing I’ve trying to tell all the contestants is what I like to go by myself. Critical thinking! Being able to pull yourself out of a situation and make the right decision is paramount to creating beautiful food and inspiring recipes. As modern humans we are blessed with all the information and knowledge the world could give and cursed to be overwhelmed and unable to sort through it. Think! Food should be enjoyable. Of course we strive for greatness but how we get there is up to us. Food creates magical worlds and I’m so excited to see these worlds come to life! #balkanfood #bulgarianfood @masterchefbg
