Cooking Pelmeni and Vareniki is very easy and require very little time.
Here is how:
– take a medium/large pot and fill it with water for 2/3 of its size
– put some salt* in it (better if you have marine rock salt)
– put the pot on stoves and have the water boiling
– when boiling, take the frozen Pelmeni or Vareniki and put them in the water. Mix it every once in a while, to avoid the stick at the bottom of the pot
– in the meantime, take a bowl and put in same butter*
– when Pelmeni or Vareniki will come up to water surface, wait for 4 or 5 minutes and then, with the help of a skimmer, move it from the pot to the bowl
– mix this well until the butter is melted
– the typical way to serve this is by adding smetana**

*quantities of salt and butter may vary as they depend on personal taste
**smetana is a typical Eastern European sour cream. It is hard to find it the exact same product in Switzerland but in your local shop you can find something very similar. In German it’s called “halbrahm”.

Preparing Chebureki do not require professional cooking skills ….. just some attention.
Here is how:
– take a medium/large pan and put oil in it. We suggest sunflower oil. Fill the pan for 1/2 of its height.
– wait for the oli to become hot and then deep the frozen Chebureki in.
– fry the Chebureki 4 to 5 minutes per each side.
– when each side is getting “bronzed”, Chebureki is ready.
– take the Chebureki into a dish and drain the oil with absorbent paper.

Please, be careful when dipping the frozen Chebureki in the hot oil as it might splash.

Please, when frying Chebureki best would be not having children around as the oil might splash.

Golubtsi do not require any cooking as they are a “ready made dish”.
You just need to warm them up.

Take a pan and place the Golubtsi in.
Add some oil and heat at your preferred temperature.

In case of leftover, you can put the Golubtsi in the freezer as they will last for 2 months.

Maybe you were not able to finish our tasty cakes after 3 days and you are afraid they will be wasted?
Well, some of the cakes can be frozen.
In particular Kievsky, Medovik, Napoleon and Bird’s Milk can stay in the freezer for up to 1 months.

Unfortunately, it would not be possible to do the same with Pavlova, Mini Pavlova, Zefir and Makowiec.
