Discover Estonian cuisine — mulgipuder, verivorst, kama, leib rye bread, and the Baltic forest-and-Baltic-Sea table.
2 recipes
Estonian cuisine is hearty Baltic fare built on rye (the dark sourdough leib is near-sacred), pork, potatoes, dairy, and forest foods (berries, mushrooms). Mulgipuder (potato-and-barley mash with pork), verivorst (blood sausage, a Christmas staple), and kama (toasted grain flour mixed with buttermilk) anchor the canon. Distinct from neighbouring Baltic cuisines through kama and the leib rye tradition.
