Pancakes, dumplings, gingerbread: a feast of Far Eastern products held at the National Centre RUSSIA in Primorye
A series of festive events dedicated to domestic culinary
traditions of celebrating the New Year has concluded at the Primorye branch of

(pelmeni), and more than 350 pancakes with various fillings.
"Gastronomic holidays featuring workshops and tastings,
which we hold here at the National Centre RUSSIA in Primorye, are a unique
opportunity for our guests to discover the diversity of Russian culinary
traditions. Primarily, these are dishes of Far Eastern cuisine: our chefs
demonstrate how to easily and correctly prepare products characteristic of our
region," said Vitaly Stanislavchuk, Head of the National Centre RUSSIA in
Primorye.
Traditional Far Eastern sweets are also offered at the National Centre RUSSIA in Vladivostok. During the New Year holidays, guests had a chance to try gingerbread with various local fillings, including red caviar and sea cucumber.
