Did you know that the original version of the salad Olivier (or also known outside of Russia as Russian salad) was invented in the 1860s by Belgian Lucien Olivier, the chef of one of Moscow's most renowned restaurants? This version contained such delicacies as grouse, veal tongue, caviar, crayfish tails and smoked duck. In post-revolutionary Russia, the following more economical ingredients were substituted for the originals: grouse–sausage, crayfish–hard-boiled egg, cucumbers–pickled cucumbers, olives and capers–green peas.
I am offering a traditional soviet times version made from fresh, high quality ingredients: potatoes, boiled chicken, boiled eggs, Russian pickled cucumbers, carrots, green peas (optional). You can order it as an appetizer or a meal in itself!
Bon appetite!

Dear friends,
It's good to be back in Singapore and cooking to your orders!
Last week was very busy and productive. Managed to cater for a baby shower, fulfilled orders for new and frequent customers and cooked for my younger son's birthday brunch!

Dear friends,

I hope you all had a very joyful and full of pleasant moments Easter Day yesterday!
I have been busy catering for a very special Easter brunch hosted by Delia. We worked out a menu that would suit the sophisticated tastes of Delia's guests. I prepared:
- Spanish tortilla filled with bacon, onion, cheddar cheese, potatoes and portobello mushrooms
- a stack of buttermilk bliny
- bliny filled with Philadelphia cream cheese, chives and smoked salmon
- Vatrushka (a type of Russian pirogue open on top and closed around the sides which is filled with cottage cheese and strawberries)
- banana whole meal muffins with flax seeds and walnuts
- yogurt parfaits (creamy vanilla Greek yogurt with passion fruit coulee on top)
Thank you, Delia, for giving me this opportunity to cook for your guests, it was a great experience!

It's borsch for dinner today. Almost every Eastern and Central European country cuisine has it's variation of Borsch. The main ingredient is beetroot, that gives the soup the rich red color. The Ukrainian variation of borsch uses pork broth for the base, whereas Polish version is strictly vegetarian with mushroom dumplings and is served as a special Christmas Eve treat. I am offering the Russian version of borsch, which is made of beef broth, beetroot, organic cabbage and other wholesome vegetables.
You can serve it to your guests as an appetizer or it can be a meal in itself. You may also order it for your family and have a day or two off from cooking, as the flavor gets even better the next day. Enjoy the hearty soup with chunks of beef the Russian way: served with sour cream, fresh chopped herbs and rye bread!

A stack of freshly pan-fried bliny ready to be filled. Have it filled with beef for an easy lunch with a salad on a side. It's also a great idea for a lunch box for your child as it tastes good wether served cold or hot.

Medovik (Russian honey cake) is ready to be collected. I made an extra one in case one of you would like to finish off your Friday dinner with a piece of this delicate and fragrant cake. I used 100% Pure New Zealand Honey for the dough and Mundella Sour Cream (all natural ingredients) for the cream. It is sold in quarters or halves, or you can go for the whole cake too. Hurry to place your order before it's all gone! ;)
Did you know that the history of this desert goes back in 19th century and it was the favorite desert of Empress Elizabeth, wife of Tsar Alexander I?
