Russian Classic Cuisine Cooking Class with Market Tour

About

We offer full participation that makes you an unforgettable experience. We offer short, intense courses preparing a wide range of the most popular and appetizing Russian dishes. 

We start with the market tour where we will learn about the history of the markets, choose products for the class and try some local foods.

During the market tour, you will learn 

• What is the better selection of a market
• How to evaluate the quality and select the best fresh seasonal produce
• How to buy and bargain in Moscow
• The history of markets, foods and some cultural and cooking traditions

Our expert chef-instructors will guide you as you create your own sumptuous three to four-course meals. Once everyone in the group has learned the techniques and timing to make classic dishes from Russian and other national cuisines, participants will plate up their culinary creations and enjoy them with a glass or two of thoughtfully chosen wine.

Prepare to roll up your sleeves and get your apron dirty!

Vegetarian and fish optional, please write down your food preference at the detail page.
