Lithuanian Embassy in the Culture Night 2023

The Embassy of Lithuania is excited to present an evening of traditional cuisine, music and national costumes for Culture Night in Dublin this year. Sptember 22nd, 6-10pm, 47 Ailesbury Rd, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

Lithuanian cuisine has a variety of dishes. There are five regions in Lithuania, within which people cook traditional dishes that differ in character and content. All regions will be presented in the evening. Our guests will be invited to taste different types of cured meat, cheese, sweets, rye bread and many more different traditional foods and beverages as well as experience an authentic process of baking Šakotis (Tree cake).

Šakotis is a popular Lithuanian traditional cake. Its name means "branched" and describes its distinctive shape. It is baked by painting layers of batter onto a rotating spit over the wood-burning fire in a special oven. Šakotis is one of the most loved desserts in Lithuanian celebrations, especially at weddings or other most important family gatherings.

This event is a part of Culture Night 2023 in Dublin: https://culturenight.ie/event/lithuanian-traditional-cuisine-and-cooking-presentation/
