There is also a skillet of fried young potatoes with chanterelles, smoked sour cream and lightly salted cucumbers. For those who wait for the season to enjoy more intense flavors, it is worth trying the chanterelle julienne with cream, sour cream and baked Camembert. And varenyky with potatoes, chanterelles and young summer truffle have become a modern version of one of the most recognizable combinations in Russian cuisine. This seasonal menu does not try to surprise with unusual ingredients — it reminds us that the best taste of summer has long been designed by nature itself.
