This is what I want to see: authentic Siberian life, homecooking from the heart (made and loved both dishes myself lots of times 😘), thankfully no fakeness like we know from you and a wonderful vlog. Greetings to your family and stay safe. Hugs, Kate from Getmany.

My grandmother was very special to me as well, more like a mother. I miss her still very much, she’s been gone around 15yrs. 😢

Спасение мира в простых ценностях. Семья, кухня, застолье.
Мы все одинаковы в стремлении делиться добром друг с другом.
Спасибо за ваш мастер класс. С вами уютно.

Oh my goodness, everything looks so delicious. I love being in your Gran’s cozy and homey kitchen. It gives me such a warm and happy feeling. You have a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing them with us, and for sharing your Gran’s lovely home. Blessings from the USA 🥰🙏 It’s so good to see Matt as well 🤗🙏

Thank you Julia for this delicious video ! 😀 I am French but like you lived in England and now in Arizona USA. The stuffed crêpe with chicken livers looks delicious and the buns scrumptious ! Siberian/Russian cuisine has a lot in common with French cuisine. I love all your videos with Matt. I have the feeling that I know you both. ❤️ Best wishes to both of you !! Your grandma and your sister too !

Greetings from New Zealand. We are the same the world over. Just trying to look after our families; cook good food, and provide love. Passing all from one generation to the next. Many thanks for a delightful video - I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more. I am definitely going to make those buns! Amazing!

Love your channel. I have just come to Russia with my wife from the UK and we are thinking of staying.

I learned how to cook from my mother and father at an early age. They were great cooks. I always enjoyed cooking with them. Julia, enjoy your family while you can. There is nothing better.
Thank you so much for taking us along. Love you dearly🙏❤🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.

Another lovely relaxing video, and those crepes and buns look delicious. My Gran used to make her own potted shrimps, and when I stayed with my Grandparents as a child, we had them on toast for supper. They were so good. She didn't have a fridge in those days, and kept the jars in the pantry, the spiced butter being the preservative. Unfortunately when Gran passed away she took her recipe with her and I've never tasted the like again. Best wishes to you all from England 🤗🤗🐶

[jamesnbrenda]

Oh! My! Am I ever glad I clicked on these vlogs!
All of you are absolutely precious!!
I just want to hug your gran & auntie!!! They remind me of my family years ago.
Unfortunately I live far away from where I grew up and y’all made me really miss home.
God bless & keep you all. ♥️🙏🏻

Hi Julia 👋. This was such a wonderful and heartwarming video. Watching the three of you working alongside each other in your Gran's kitchen made my day! There is nothing better than the camaraderie of family members making delicious food with love included in each dish. Thanks so much for sharing this time with us. Please say hi to your Gran, sister and Matt. Hope that your brother is well and happy. Take care and enjoy your weekend. Hugs and prayers from your friend and fan in Virginia, U.S.A. 👍🫂❤️🙏🌎🕊

This video just made me smile! Your Gran reminds me of my grandma who we called Gogi, she was from Austria came to the US when she was a little girl. Her cooking and baking was amazing. We were so blessed that my mom was also a fabulous cook and baker, there is just something about our grandmothers that warm our heart ❤. Thank you Julie for sharing I just love watching you and your family, there is so much love in that room ❤xxoo
