Everyone in Russia loves syrniki. They eat them for breakfast, prepare them as dessert, and serve them with tea. There are even some cafes that serve only syrniki! There are dozens of variations of this well-known delicacy—with chocolate, candied fruit, raisins, fresh fruit, jam, preserves, sweetened condensed milk… You might think that after all these years every possible syrniki recipe would have been brought to light – but no! Some syrniki recipes are still rather surprising. And our chef Vladimir Pavlov wants to show you one of them: syrniki with mushrooms, pike-perch, and whey sauce. Yes, you read that right. Our beloved syrniki, but savoury instead of sweet. And oh so tasty! Find out more on The Geography of Taste. On Russian Travel Guide.
