Discover Latvian Culinary Traditions

The Cooking Around the EU adventure continues!

We have included three national dishes in the logo of our project.

Latvia, located in the heart of the Baltic region, boasts a rich cultural heritage, and its cuisine is no exception. Among the many traditional dishes that stand out in the Latvian culinary landscape, vegetable salad "rasols' is a favourite. It contains peas, eggs, pickles, onions, carrots and potatoes.

The cold soup is a vegetable soup made from beets, fermented milk products (sour cream or kefir), cucumbers, boiled eggs and herbs (onions, dill and/or parsley).

Semolina mousse is a sweet dish made from boiled  and whipped semolina and a fruit or berry mass (juice, puree, jelly, jam, etc.). Semolina mousse is called "debesmanna" in Latvian.
