Kulich saffron from Veronika Sergeeva

Cookinero 10 Nov 2022

My ex-mother-in-law, with whom we immediately developed an excellent relationship, somehow brought and gave me an old, rather shabby, uncovered, cookbook of her mother. With what pleasure I began to read this outlandish language in which it was written, with the old measures of weight and volume. Something began to try to cook on it. The mother-in-law said that her mother often baked a delicious Easter cake based on this book and made a royal Easter out of it. My mother-in-law baked it in her family, and now I bake this cake for my son.
