The best Ukrainian tableware stores chain Promenu, with whom we have been friends for a long time, asked me to hold a cycle of culinary master classes for their clients. Promenu people love to cook with beautiful, high-quality and comfortable dishes. Promenu people always want to learn something new, expand their menu, surprise family and friends with delicious dishes and knowledge of other countries’ cuisines. During this lesson we prepared our favourite British dessert, or as they call it in…

Odessa is eating. Eats loudly and with appetite. To music and without. Tasty and not very. At my own expense and for a stranger with pleasure. In honor of the holiday or satisfying hunger. Local specialties and food of European cuisines from local delicacies. He eats in the morning, not really early, at lunch, at midday and in the evening, and especially at night. In noisy companies, in narrow circles, with beautiful women or with families - their own or…

Did you know that ballerinas smell like vanilla? Just like this dessert, light and softly sweet, named after the famous ballerina Anna Pavlova. It is pronounced - PavlOva, emphasis is placed on the penultimate syllable. Usually in England it looks like a round cake, but for Christmas it’s customary to bake it in the form of a wreath and decorate to your taste with everything that you love and that can create the desired contrast in taste: meringue and cream…

If you live in Ukraine, I am sure that you have often visited chain stores Promenu, stores with the world best tableware and cookware.

And not…

My Odessa is an amazing city: its cuisine is really delicious, but the city always tries to "look into the neighbour’s pan." She knows her worth, but like no one else can adopt and adapt "someone else's goods." In this and, of course, in its sea, sun and humour is the secret of a unique city. I am glad that I have the opportunity to bring something new and interesting to Odessa 😊 Afternoon Tea, a symbol of the British…

Odessa people are friendly and hospitable. We love to eat, we like to receive guests, and to share food. The British are our antipodes, in a sense, but they also have an old and good tradition, to share something important with someone else: news, emotions, food for Afternoon Tea. English tea drinking has become one of the symbols of the British Empire, even today you can find cosy Tea Houses in its former colonies. The tradition gained popularity, and over…

In those rare warm and dry days, when the sun shines in England, and it happens on Sunday, every self-respecting Englishman takes out his barbecue, coals, and firewood from the shed. The aromas of fried meat floating over the fences drive the hungry passers-by and the neighbours, who have no money for a barbecue, crazy. In addition to the world-famous British beef the island is also very fond of lamb. People here like to look at the endless green meadows…

The first dessert I tried in England was a bright red biscuit cake, and it was unlike anything I had ever tried or cooked before. It was impossible to guess how it tastes like just by looking at it. Red velvet cake impressed me so much I wanted to learn how to bake it, and then teach you. I couldn’t manage so easily with this recipe without the KitchenAid planetary food processor. When I make desserts, this is my favourite…

Sommelier of our school Konstantin Vidoborenko held a Riedel wine glass tasting for school students at the site of “12 Persons”, a high-quality tableware shop. In the classroom, our students often asked questions: does the shape of the glass really affect the perception of wine? Do different wines require glasses of different shapes? How does the quality and material of a glass affect the taste of wine? Why so often we don’t get the expected pleasure when we order a…

Food unites. When people share a meal, the largest energy exchange occurs between them. Food brings together. When a large company cooks dinner together, and then share it at the common - this is work for a team in unusual conditions. It helps to get to know your colleagues better, for new people to quickly join the team, and for someone to break stereotypes about themselves. The team from Sigma Ukraine shares our views 😊 Therefore they chose a lesson…
