Okay, I know a few of you speak Russian as it's your first language and some others that are learning the language.
How about cooking? I know Daria mentioned cooking is one of her passions so I can be almost guaranteed she can cook Russian dishes with her eyes closed.
How about anyone else? Do you dabble in the kitchen trying Russian receipes? Got any foolproof ones to share?
I'm no chef nor a cook but I love a good meal so, tell me about your cooking skills.

I wouldn't mind trying a restaurant or two here in the city, though I think my boyfriend is something of a snob when it comes to good Russian home cooking. Not because he can cook either!

Is he one of those guys who judges all Russian cooking, based on how his mother used to cook?  |

| well so far the russian food I have had is just ok...taste and everything was really good...but not so much in the variety, colors and flavours...I like thai food, Japanese, French and Italian. American food and British food isn't the best either...aon par with Russia...well at least the American is |

I stand corrected here you go girl and what time do you want me over for dinner...I will bring the Vodka...ok wine
1 pound veal neck, cut into cubes
1 pound beef shoulder, cut into cubes
1 large onion, sliced and caramelized
1/2 cup chopped dill
4 ounces white Pullman loaf, crust removed and soaked in 1 cup heavy cream
1 egg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 80 Wonton Wrappers
Ingredients per serving:
3/4 cup very thinly sliced mushrooms (shittake, cremini, enoki, or porcini), cooked
3 tablespoons cooked or pickled beets, small dice
18 mint leaves, coarsely chopped or torn by hand
3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
3 quarts beef or chicken consomme/bouillion, hot
In a large bowl, combine meat cubes, onion, dill, soaked bread, egg, salt and pepper. Let sit for 2 hours in refrigerator for flavors to combine.
Grind mixture through a meat grinder 2 times using a medium die. Mixture should be finely pureed and sticky. Cut rounds out of wonton wrapper. Fill each wrapper with 1/2 teaspoon of mixture. Fold over and make tortellini shape. Fold sides over. Place in large saucepan with boiling water and boil for about 3 minutes.
Serve in deep-dish plates. Divide mushroom slices, beet dice, mint leaves, and dill into between 8 dishes. Add 10 pelmini and pour over consomme. |

Damn, I am trying to get rid of my egg roll wrappers, because I hastily bought a package, and then decided against making egg rolls, now their sitting in my freezer.  |
