The Real Russian Pelmeni
Pelmeni are small Slavic meat dumplings wrapped in thin dough and boiled until tender. We’ll make the dough, season the filling, shape them properly, and serve them with sour cream, butter, pepper, vinegar, or broth. The shaping takes time, but they freeze beautifully.

Many people try to cook Slavic dishes at home, but it’s hard to know what the real recipe should be, how the dough or filling should feel, and what the final dish is actually supposed to taste like. That’s where I can help. In my classes, you’ll learn Slavic comfort food step by step: blini, pelmeni, pirozhki, chebureki, Chicken Kyiv, pies, syrniki, borscht, and more. I’ll show you the small details that make a big difference — how to shape, seal, fry, boil, season, and serve these dishes properly. The goal is not just to follow a recipe once, but to understand the technique, avoid common mistakes, and recreate the same taste again at home. After each live session, you’ll also receive a detailed written recipe so you can make the dish again with confidence.

Preparation
The dough for pelmeni is the same as that for pierogi. Be ready for the shaping part — it takes time, but once you learn the technique, you can make a big batch and freeze some for later.
