We made pelmeni in broth, lightly brined cucumbers and sauerkraut, perlovka salad, and mushrooms julienne. Очень вкусно!

Thank you all of the chefs who actually completed the challenge of making the food. Every post of someone making the food has been awarded by me or someone else as a gesture of appreciation for all of you. Thank you friends. Слава Украине!

Hi! I'm looking for a Russian food that I can make just(or mostly) with vegetables. I want to fit it in my diet, so if it's easy to make it would be great. I would prefer soup and liquid ones since they are generally low calorie for their volume.

Thanks

Is there a chance it culd contain lead? I dont know if i can ask here but i dont know where to ask

I watched a YouTube video about a Cranberry Tart. Since cranberry is practically a staple of Russian cuisine, I was curious if Russia had something similar, and that led me down an interesting rabbit hole.

I discovered the Vologda cranberry pie with merinque posted by Russia Beyond. After a little more searching, I discovered a few recipes for cranberry pirozhki. I also searched for pies here on r/RussianFood, and found quite a few apple pies from a few years ago.

So what are some dishes you're familiar with? Do you have a recipe from your babushka

From the recipe by our favorite: Life of Boris

I have a recipe for piroshki that calls for dried mushrooms, but I’m wondering if this is the best way to use these babies?

My boyfriend and I worked together to make this delicious dish! We used 2 YouTube channels for the recipe: AllasYummyCooking and LifeOfBoris.

The filling is minced pork and onions, with sour cream and butter to top

I’ve been using buckwheat as a 1-to-1 substitute for rice recently, and I like it. I am vaguely aware that buckwheat is used in some cuisines of Russia and Eastern Europe.

What are some uses typical uses for buckwheat to try at home?

Many years ago, I was friends with a Russian immigrant family from St Petersburg, the mother of which was a great cook. When I'd visit, she always made a multilayered cake she called "Caprice". It was so long ago, I can hardly describe it, but I believe it had ground nuts and a lot of buttercream. It was probably the most delicious cake I've ever had. Rich and not overly sweet. Is anyone familiar with this? I'd love to try to recreate it.

My dad had this book when I was a kid. After he passed away, I made sure to take it with me.

There's people like Cooking Tree which I'm going to attempt, and then there's people like Life of Boris...

Joking aside, I have spent the past two weeks upgrading some of my baking supplies to make the Medovik a bit easier. My only question is what sort is honey would be best? Light or dark?

I got this a while back and have read through it a bit but I’m not sure where to start! Has anyone cooked anything from here?

I think you can never go wrong with a pirozhki

My parents bought me hot smoked mackerel and I was wondering what the best way to eat it was? I was reading for cold smoked to let it come to room temperature and slice. Should hot be done the same way or should I heat it in the oven a bit?
