Dear all,

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Russian dinner. We started with a classic Russian salad, followed by Beef Stroganoff with melting potatoes and mushrooms, and finished with a sweet slice of Napoleon cake for dessert. It was a cozy meal with hearty flavors that everyone enjoyed.

Russian cuisine is known for being warm and comforting, perfect for cold weather. The Russian salad, also called Olivier salad, is made with potatoes, peas, carrots, and mayonnaise—it’s a staple in celebrations and gatherings. Beef Stroganoff, originally from 19th-century Russia, has become a famous dish around the world, with its creamy sauce and tender beef.

Did you know that Russia spans across 11 time zones and two continents? That’s why its cuisine has so many regional influences! Another fun fact—Napoleon cake, with its layers of puff pastry and cream, was named after the defeat of Napoleon, and it’s still one of the most loved desserts in the country.
