This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Your experience begins by meeting your host Evgeny near the Tushinskaya Metro Station. Together, you will take a taxi to his local produce store to pick out fresh fruit for the dessert that you will prepare later in the day. Please note, this is not a bustling market but a small neighborhood produce shop. Here, Evgeny will teach you about different vegetables and ingredients that are staples in Russian kitchens. After your market store visit, you will walk 10-min through a picturesque park to Evgeny’s apartment. Upon arrival at his home, Evgeny will offer you a variety of teas to choose from and his homemade kvas. During this 2-hour class, you will pick up tricks and techniques involving in preparing homemade Russian cuisine. You will help Evgeny prepare a three-course meal that you will share together later. You will start by cutting ham, cucumbers, eggs and radishes for your cold summer soup, okroshka. Next you will help to cut pork and chop potatoes for your main dish (Evgeny can offer other meat options). The last dish you will make is a dessert of beautiful ricotta pancakes.
