    I just have to say thank you so much for helping me reconnect with my culture. My mom came to the United States form Russia before I was I born and she never really taught me how to cook anything, especially any Russian food. So, when I went to go visit my grandma She was amazed at all the Russian food I knew how to make and she let me help her cook. Not knowing the language super well this was such an amazing bonding experience! Seriously I can’t thank you enough Helen!!!!! Большое спасибо❤️❤️❤️❤️

      so weird - I'm new to this channel and was at first intrigued by her accent...it wasn't obvious until I saw this and clicked and then immediately recognized it. It's just her softer tone I think that hides it just a bit. Lovely person.

      Her accent sounds continental or Brazilian Portuguese too. In fact, it was hard to tell because her accent is so softened up.

    Why HR's channel is a favorite here in our house: (a) precision at all stages!, (b) testing and ""the comparative method" to tease out what are better cooking techniques/materials, (c) at times almost a myth-busters for the kitchen!, (d) such exquisite care to each step in cooking, (e) clear content (---with HR I never have to rewind to catch poorly presented material---), and (f) originality in choice of recipes, so many new dishes and techniques that in my protected life I 'd never seen,
    Plus excellent production techniques: great sound at the right level, no distracting/silly music. Thank you!

I enjoy your information so much as well as the cooking information. My husband and I are in our 60’s and watch when we can and love your channel and your accent!

  • @riccardodemedici7116
    @riccardodemedici7116 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Helen! I enjoy your teaching very much! I like learning the hows and whys and that you are not reducing cooking to a non-thinking activity. That is what makes good cooks. Your scientific way of working is what makes bright people who learn from their mistakes. I find that refreshing! I look forward to -your new programs! Thank you for being here for us in these days when cooking on television is a game show or prepared with time limits and ingredients that do not work together. I love your realness and that you do what master teachers should do! Thank you!

    My family came from Slovakia, Czech, & Ukraine so your accent is always a nostalgic, sweet balm on my heart. Here's to the brave and Peace-loving good souls in all of us.

    @ajs11201 2 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    I'm surprised that more viewers don't recognize the accent; it sounds Russian to me. Now that we've gotten that out of the way--this is an excellent channel with fantastic recipes and great advice. One of my most favorite things about this channel is that you actually teach people how to COOK, not just how to follow a recipe. Many people can step through a recipe, but it takes a special person to teach the intricacies behind the recipe so that we can adapt and recreate according to our own circumstances. Thanks for sharing your insights with us!

They're helping me become a better, more versatile cook. I've been trying to learn a little Russian as a challenge and ran into your channel looking for recipes to try for Russian cuisine. Food and language are wonderful ways to get to know people. Glad to see the update!
