Especially important was the ruling period of Kurzeme Dukes Jacob and Friedrich, when the export and import of Lithuania and Kurzeme goods was provided through Liepaja harbour.

Tasty and yeasty rye bread is common, and in Vidzeme, try it with some hemp butter. Barley is used to bake buns and for porridges. Wheat is used to bake water pretzels with caraway seeds. Visit farms and restored windmills to track the route of grain. A special cheese is part of Summer Solstice celebrations, and on a daily basis you can enjoy other tasty cheeses made of cow and goat milk. Various river and lake fishes are popular, as are local meat and fowl dishes and wild game with tasty sauces. A roast or a pot of soup cooked on a live campfire will have a lovely aroma, and it will be served with vegetables, greens, beans, peas and mushrooms.
