There is only one way to cope with falling temperature outside - to boost it from inside with warm, invigorating food!
Russian cuisine perfectly matches autumn and winter - it was designed to warm up, reassure and comfort the eater.
At the cooking class you will learn more about local food and will cook two dishes:
1. A life-giving salty-sour soup solyanka. Not as banal as borsch and more tasteful, but same beloved.
2. Proper bliny. It seems a simple dish, but how many secrets one should know to make them flexible, "lacy", "tanned", with the right balance of savory and sweet flavor.
