Varenyky. Borscht. Zwieback. Recipes & Pictures.

The plan

Be the de-facto resource for traditional Mennonite recipes.

Where are the recipes and pictures?

They will get here..eventually. For now there is Zwieback.

Why does this site exist?

Because several years ago I couldn't find a picture of a Mennonite Zwieback. In fact, nearly all the search results came up with some kind of toast for babies. Toast? Toast is not the magnificent mana Russian Mennos know.

A steaming golden zwieback, its top intact, as yet unopened. The yeasty aroma of fresh baked zwieback invades your nostrils. The bottom is crusty, but not hard. Perfect for a slab of butter or a spoonfull of jam. The crease is soft. You will eat the top half plain, savouring the fluffy bread..
