What you'll do
Have you always wanted to master Russian desserts? Join me in the kitchen for a fun adventure as I share my secrets to cooking, that you can easily recreate at home. We will start off with delicious tea.
It will be a small group, so we will do all the cooking together. The class will be interactive, rather than demonstrative and you will work in pairs. We will make:
- Chocolate salami, a popular chocolate biscuit dessert
- Apple/Pear & Cinnamon Puffs with caramelized sugar
- "Ushki" - Popular Eastern European Cookies
- Russian Marmelad ( fruit candies)
- We will feast on what we cook
- You can take all cake/dessert home (if any left) - Please take a container :)
- All ingredients will be provided.
- You will also receive a full recipe of what we will make during the class.
Classes can also be booked for groups and special celebrations. If your date is not available please write to make a request.
Please specify dietary requirements and allergies when booking, vegan cakes can be requested too.
PLEASE NOTE: I cannot take bookings for 1 person, so please check if someone else is coming on that day or message me in advance before booking if you travelling solo, in case I can add you to another class :)
Other things to note
Come in comfy clothes that you don't mind cooking in. Please advice on allergies.

What a great experience!! Superhost! If you’re looking for a great cooking class, look no further.

A wonderful experience! Hands down the highlight of our current visit to London. Alla is very friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and a fantastic teacher. She taught us how to cook four amazing pastries that turned out absolutely delicious. We came to find out that she is actually an accomplished blogger and youtuber with nearly 100,000 YouTube subscribers as of today’s date. If you get a chance to attend one of her 3 live cooking classes in London you definitely should - you’ll love it. In summary - highly recommended. We had a wonderful time.

Enjoyable cooking learning experience with Alla. It turns out that making pastry is not always difficult, there is an easy and simple one and does not require much time to make it. Which certainly tastes delicious. Can be directly practiced at home
