Here is what the page “Alissa Timoshkina’s Eastern European Mushroom Soup and Stew Recipes: Belarusian Mačanka an” contains. The Guardian Lifestyle Oct 21, 2026 • 5:00 AM Food writer Alissa Timoshkina shares two comforting eastern European recipes centered on mushrooms: a tangy wild mushroom stew inspired by Belarusian mačanka and a simple, rustic cabbage and mushroom soup. The stew, traditionally served with thick buckwheat pancakes, gets a twist with lokše—Slovak potato flatbreads—making it creamy, tangy, and perfect for dipping.
The soup, made with just a handful of seasonal ingredients, captures the essence of eastern European home cooking without being tied to one country. For readers with roots in the region, Timoshkina hopes it tastes like home. These dishes highlight the versatility of mushrooms and the hearty, soul-warming nature of Slavic cuisine, offering both a hearty main and a light starter.
