Hi everyone!
I am Olga, co-founder of ExploRussia. And this is my cooking class.
This 1-1.5 hours is not only about cooking "the Russian salad", it is about our culture and daily habbits. I will show you some snippets of soviet cartoons, the most traditional Russian movie where they eat a lot :) and I will even read to you a Russian kid's folk tale! The whole hour we talk, laugh, discuss and, yes, we do cook! So I invite you to join me for this experience :)
Looks fun! In Bulgaria, we call the Olivier salad "Russian salad" 😄 What's one fact about Russia that surprises all your guests?
But also what I find in other countries is called "Russian salad" is a bit different from what we cook. Russian salad is more - potato salad. But Olivier is a mixture of different veggies, where potato in fact is not main ingridient. Surprise :)
I can personally vouch for this cooking class, as I was lucky enough experience it in IRL in Moscow a few years ago with Olga and her family!
Hey how! Great memories for us as well!
