Celebrating Latkes Cookbook

LATKE MUSHROOM JULIENNE 2017 Latke Festival Winner: Judge’s Choice & People’s Choice by Dima Martseniuk, Executive Chef, Veselka

This umami-rich dish is made even more delicious and decadent thanks to the truffle paste. Described as “outrageously delicius” by Latke Festival attendees, this dish was “inspired by his - torical, cultural staples (mushrooms and potatoes) — not gimmicks or pop culture,” said Jason Birchard, proprietor and grandson of the original owner of Veselka.
