  • In this video I wanted to share with you what we eat in a day as a Russian family of three. We usually eat different meals but I decided to pick ones for this day that are considered as traditional Russian meals. These are the ones that we truly enjoy and eat on a regular basis and that our friends and relatives love too.
    I hope you'll like this video and feel a little bit hungry after watching😋
    Thank You!💛

      Those all looked so good! I think we have something similar to the beef dish in the US but I hadn't heard of any of the other things. My question for the q&a is: how long have you and your husband been married and how did you meet? 😊

      Oatmeal and avocado toast is an excellent meal. I guess that such an intelligent person like Vika has zero knowledge in nutrition. I eat pelmeni maybe twice a year. It is delicious indeed but it is very unhealthy to eat it often. If she ate meat at lunch she shouldn't eat more meat at dinner, especially processed one. It has to be something light. Also, they use a lot of oil. As a nutritionist consultant I could say that their eating habits are just horrible. They have really bad nutrition diet in Russia, majority of population is not heathy there and life expectancy is pretty short there as well.

    FINALLY I found a mom who gives her daughter the same as she eats!!!!!!! Whenever any of my in-law family or friends come into my house stars with the song "our pediatrician say......". Fot data: Our girl has 15 months. Shes been eating the same as us since she was 6 m/o.
    ITS OK! Your pediatrician says that no sugar until 10 y/o, just organic vegetables and blend everything and my daughter can eat a whole fully chocolate muffin without breathing.
    My daughter eats everything and specially enjoys fish; she eats just what my husband and me have for lunch or dinner and shes healthier than all the babies I know, also, she has no allergies (people also has to opine about our 2 giant dogs and our 2 cats interacting with her and concern us about ñiñiñi allergy, rashes...........).
    So THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! Finally, a normal mom, growing a NORMAL girl.

      Very refreshing. I was never into those ''look at my perfect fake, hipster life'' youtubers. There's a place for everybody in the world, but when everybody is doing the same thing at some point it just comes across as showy and fake, 'cause it's just everybody competing for who has the most perfect life, and eats the healthiest avocado toast and the most organic oatmeal. It was all the ultimate brag fest. This channel is just completely refreshing, in showing the reality of what actually constitutes most people in the world, not just that of the ''playing modest, fake humble, while actually being well to do'' Western hipsters. The only thing worse than a bragger is a fake-humble bragger. This channel brings it back to grounded reality and sanity.

      @@thelmabelda5447 here’s a recipe for the cookies
      Pryaniki recipe
      1 cup sugar
      4-5 T honey
      100 g (just under one stick) butter
      1/4 cup water
      3 cups flour (approx)
      3/4 t. Baking soda
      1-3 t. Mixed spices, ground. Can include cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ground ginger, black pepper, allspice, anise (This mixture was called сухие духи (dry perfume) in the old days, a nod to the preciousness of spices obtained in trade with India and the East, and it varied from region to region and from time to time based on availability.) Use your favorites or what is available to you, less for a gently spiced cookie, more for a stronger spice flavor.
      Optional sugar glazing
      1/2 cup confectioners sugar (powdered)
      2 T lemon or orange juice
      Combine all ingredients except flour and soda in thick bottomed pot and heat to thoroughly dissolve the sugar and melt the butter. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and slowly stir in half of the flour. Allow to come to room temp - either place by a cold window or make a pan ice bath in a bowl that you can place your pot in.
      Once cooled, mix in two egg yolks (reserve whites). Preheat the oven to 360 F. To the remaining flour, stir in 3/4 tsp baking soda and mix well. Slowly add this flour mixture to the dough. Once the dough is too thick to stir with a spoon, turn out onto a floured surface and with floured hands, gently knead the dough until it is smooth and only slightly tacky, roughly the consistency of playdough.
      Divide the dough into two portions. Cover the reserved portion with damp towel or cling wrap to keep from drying out. Roll the other half out on floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use cookie cutter or juice glass to cut rounds or shapes from the dough. Place on baking sheet (parchment or baking pad can be helpful to keep from sticking, but not critical) and bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
      Optional filling
      Use fruit paste (quince is delicious), mashed dried fruits and nuts (prunes or apricot alone or with walnuts, raisins - it may help to steam or soak the dried fruit to make it soft enough to mash), thickened jam, jam mixed with ground nuts - the key is to form a fairly dry paste and not use a runny jam that will leak out of your honey cakes.
      The remaining portion can either be refrigerated for up to a week or rolled out now and baked. For filled cookies, roll slightly thinner dough and cut two shapes to form the cookie. Recommended - one slightly larger rectangle and one slightly smaller one. Place filling in the center of the larger rectangle and place the smaller rectangle on top. Fold the bottoms edges up and over the top layer and press with a fork to seal.

      I hope you liked pelmeni. One of my favorite dishes, but the taste depends greatly on the quality of filling. One can eat them with various small additions. I like pelmeni with vinegar, tomato sauce and black pepper (all at the same time). You can also try buckwheat with milk, it's a popular dish too. You just pour milk into cooked buckwheat, kind of like you do with cereal. But it's usually eaten warm or hot, and salty rather than sweet. Take care!

      You can buy all kinds of groats, not only buckwheat, not only in a Russian shops, but also for over 100 years in every Polish shop, whether Ukrainian or Jewish one. Different types of groats are an important element of Slavic cuisine (like pasta in Italy). European Jews, who emigrated to the USA mainly from Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, took the groats from the Slavs to their cuisine (and also, for example, pickled (salty) cucumbers, many types of forest mushrooms or gingerbread). So if you want, you can buy groats in America quite easily.

    I came across your videos and watched a couple of them in a row, and I just realised that how much fake content we are exposed to on this platform. You are so natural and reflect things as they are. Lovely to see the life in Russia. You put a smile on my face. Lots of love

    It's lovely to see a child eating a very healthy meal
    It's unfortunate that in UK many children get junk food which as you might know is leading to obesity.
    Can I ask please are you teaching your baby both English and Russian languages?

      I had a Russian meal in London (I live in Scotland and our international cuisine options are kinda lacking except for pizza, Japanese and curry), it was some of the best food I’ve ever eaten - delicious! The staff were all really polite too.

    Your evening meal looks a lot like the dumplings we make here. They are available frozen but we like to buy the ready made wrappers from the Korean shop and prepare a minced meat and finely chopped vegetables filling to wrapped it in. We often wrap them like the ones you made. Delicious after cooking in boiling water for a few minutes and we eat them with hot chillie sauce or soy sauce. Lovely to see that some things are very similar even in far away places. Beautiful baby Agatha. 😍❤ kind regards from New Zealand 🇳🇿❤.

    Your dishes remind me of what my Jewish Russian grandmother made for us. She was 1st generation American.
    I've realized over the years how much our traditional family food was also from Russia.

    My husband and I have been to Russia in 2016. My husband had business there. We saw these block apartments only from the outside I appreciate the tour!. We visited Moscow and St. Petersburg. We stayed in two very nice hotels which I know would be beyond the means of most Russians. We saw some very depressed areas, but also some lovely ones. The history there is amazing and the trip was very illuminating. We visited the Hermitage, churches, palaces, cemeteries , restaurants, the Metro, the Kremlin, etc. Learned and experienced so many things. I never thought it was a place I would ever go, but was so glad fir the opportunity and all the memories. Than you for your insider look at Russian life!

    It really looks good, but I have a correction as my wife Elena always makes pelmeni from scratch 👍
    She is really from the old school 😄
    Also Pirogi and borsch is made fra scratch.
    She`s really good in a kitchen.
    I love Russian food.
    It is typically Russian to eat sweets while enjoying your tea.
    My wife and daughter always do it too.
    It spreads to me, as Elena always bakes blini (pancakes) which I then dip in jam for my tea.

    Hello Vika! Your channel appeared in my TH-cam suggestions yesterday and I immediately fell in love with it! I am French and I am very interested in Russia and Russian culture. I visited Moscow and Saint-Petersburg ten years ago and two days ago I was thinking how much I would like to go back to Russia and see smaller cities and villages. Of course, cuisine and food are always a big part of a culture and this video is great! I have learned how to make homemade pelmenis but I still need practice because they are still far away from perfection hahaha! I love how simple and authentic your channel and videos are! Do not change anything! Lots of love for you, your husband and your lovely daughter!

    Pelmini was one of my favorite meals....I still prepare it when I can find it frozen! I also used to make a stir fried pelmini with various veggies and a lovely asian type sauce! But served with sour cream is THE best!
