I am so enjoying your blog. My mom cooks all these amazing Russian dishes but she never measures so it s so nice to see it and know how its done. Thanks so much!

Hello MasterSwisa, thanks for your feedback 🙂 ! My grandma used to cook a lot of traditional Russian dishes, and when asked how much of each ingredient to put, she would say “na glaz”(something like “your eyes will tell you”) )))))). But these days there is some much information online, so I had to test and try online recipes to find the forking formula. This recipe really works! Enjoy your okroshka!
