Babushka Lena is a real live babushka living in Houston, TX. She immigrated from Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, in 1992 with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. These recipes have been collected over her 80+ years of cooking. They have been translated from Russian with minimal editing to ensure authenticity, however exactly replicating that babushka magic is nearly impossible. Please be encouraged to comment with any suggestions or photos on the recipes that you attempt!
