  • Braving sub-zero temperatures, Paul is in St Petersburg, sampling layered honey cake, and vatrushka, a delicate curd tart. Yet it's the Russian pies, with intricate pastry patterns covering sweet and savoury fillings, that steal his heart.

    hi, dear friends, i am from Russia, and i am here to tell you this: no, its not freezing outside all year, as some of you could imagine. Another thing is that you don't have to drink vodka every 5 min with every meal - we do have a very reach and old tea traditions and fireplaces almost everywhere in st. Petersburg, but unfortunately this video does not say a word about it. All the best.

    I was in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) as the chaperone for 88 teenagers (and my septuagenarian mother) 3 weeks before the fall of The Soviet Union. One of the most amazing trips in my life and so happy that I was able to show my oldest daughter this “Window to the World!” Happy that Paul appreciated the history, architecture and legendary food (it wasn’t quite that legendary in 1991!). Waiting to see if he visits the Peter and Paul Cathedral! Spaceba Paul!

The bakeries in the villages can hold their own when compared to the ones Paul visited in Peter. I’ve been to them all. I’d love to go back, but under the current global situation, I’m not sure when I will be able to return next.

    The dough of the honey cake being brittle and closer to a biscuit is a very common practice actually. Most people I know make their medoviks like that.
    Edit: Just wanted to add that there is a group of Russian cakes that work on that principle, which is why it is absolutely essential they be made a day before, so the cream has the chance to saturate the dough.

I went into the Church of the Spilled Blood, it’s magnificent inside. This is a beautiful city. Nice to watch these videos to remind me of where I’ve been.
