This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

This is a tried and true recipe. To modernize it, use a food strainer to peel and seed the tomatoes first then strain the pulp to remove excess water. It will cut the time in half. I also use a emmersion blender once the onions are soft. No need to use a food mill! Delicious!
