Lamb with Yogurt Casserole (Tavë Kosi)
This recipe in Albanian is called Tave Kosi, Tave Elbasani or in English Lamb Yogurt Sauce. There are two ways of make it depending on where you live and what kind of meat you use. I am trying to publish this old authentic recipe mostly for Albanians that live in America or other countries, so they can enjoy their authentic cuisine. Albanian cooking is influenced a lot from years under Ottoman occupation. Lamb or veal meats are widely used in my country in many different recipes. Here is the way my mom made it. I will try to preserve her way of making it.
Cookies with Fruit Preserves (Biskota)
Making desserts was not my forte, until my sister in law came to visit me. She told me about a simple and quick cookie recipe that she had seen on the food network channel.

In Scotland a cookie is a plain bun, however in most English speaking countries outside North America the most common name for a small, flat, baked treat is biscuit.
