Oede.by - 1st Minsk Cooking School

Oede.by is the first cooking school in Minsk. It is a cozy kitchen in the center of the city where the best chefs share their secrets with wanna be gourmands. Here is a photo report on ‘Making Pasta at Home’ master class with Anton Kalenik of Bistro de Luxe.

Semolina for pasta (ма́нка - in Russian)

Eggs

More eggs

This is hard work - you need strong hands, like Anton’s

Kolobok ))

Keep it warm and cozy - or it will run away

Pasta machine (20 euro, can’t buy in Minsk; closest vendors in Lithuania and Russia)

Virginal leaf of pasta

Varieties - you can do pretty much anything you want with it

Students help

Frutti del Mare

Wine (white, dry, cheap)

Cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, parsley

To get that garlic taste just crush the clove (without peeling it) and throw into the pan…

… like that - no need to slice, dice, squeeze, etc and no burned garlic in your dish! just throw it out once it’s shared all its goodness.

The last stages - this smells amazing…

Add vegetable broth to keep the ingredients stewing gently.

Fresh hand made pasta cooks for about 2 minutes - no more!

The miraculous cheese grater for the finishing touches.

THE DELICIOUS RESULTS

Frutti del Mare Linguine with Tomato Sauce

Pappardelle with Meat Ragoût

Tagliatelle with Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes

This was so much fun. Thank you, Oede.by!
