The Culinary Studio of Yulia Vysotskaya is a unique and the only venue of its kind in Moscow. The studio has all the necessary equipment for holding various formats of culinary classes, master classes, corporate events and holidays. The European analogue of the studio is Jamie Oliver Schools in the UK. The culinary studio is very popular, most classes and master classes are fully redeemed a week before the event.

The main difference of Yulia Vysotskaya's Studio is that each guest prepares the dish from start to finish on their own under the guidance of the chef. The studio has 42 fully equipped workstations in two classrooms. Each guest has his own set of dishes, appliances, accessories, products. The chef's table is located in the center of the studio, all workplaces are set up in such a way that guests can clearly see everything the chef is doing. Also in the studio there are video cameras with video output to plasma, audio equipment, studio lighting.

In Moscow, every few months, new culinary schools or courses for non-professionals are opened, in almost every restaurant on weekends they teach how to cook something properly, and new cafes and restaurants are building open kitchens for themselves: today everyone wants to cook. The Village continues its series of reports from various culinary schools to understand who and why wants to learn how to cook today.

In every country there is an image of a kind of ideal housewife - a woman in whom all the virtues come together to amaze and at the same time infuriate others. America is dominated by Martha Stewart, an energetic 50-something blonde who masterfully knows how to cook, furnish a house, fold origami, run a business and evade taxes. In Russia, this set is not enough, you still need to be an actress, with children and a cult director husband. Julia Vysotskaya in the field of gastronomy has gone from culinary programs to own restaurant and the post of editor-in-chief in the KhlebSol magazine. The logical continuation of this series of achievements was the opening of the culinary studio Julia Vysotskaya on Pravda Street. The studio is located in the right wing of the former house of culture, classes are held several times a week under the guidance of brand chefs, Yornik chef or Yulia herself, or in a pair with her daughter Marusya. For the latter, they say, a long record, so you have to do everything in two stages.

I chose a master class dedicated to Valentine's Day, it was necessary to come to it only together. Similar pair classes will be held in the studio on a regular basis. To keep the intrigue, I take with me an old friend Zhenya, with whom it is not scary to even go on reconnaissance. In addition to us, two well-dressed couples under 35 became interested in aphrodisiacs and teamwork: a local photographer with a favorite model and an older couple with at least 10 years of marriage behind them.

From the first minutes it becomes clear that the organizers of the studio took into account all the shortcomings of the competing schools. Let's start with the fact that finally each participant (or couple) gets a separate workplace with their own dishes, stove and refrigerator. This allows you to cook every dish from start to finish. Chef-moderator Anton has planned two hot dishes, a dessert and a surprise. It is necessary to keep within three hours, therefore, so that the students do not lag behind, two assistants run around the hall. You have to work so fast that there is simply no time to comment or ask questions.

"Need arrange future ravioli, that is, decide whether they will be rhombuses, triangles or hearts, which for some reason are cut mostly by men»

An hour and a half has passed since the beginning of the master class, and the couples still have not raised their voices, except, perhaps, a cheerful woman opposite, who transferred all the initiative into the hands of her husband and is resting, eating the apples left over from the fruit sauce. On the stove next to the quail, water boils in a large saucepan, soon it will need to be poured there olive oil(there are sponsor bottles on the table - three types) and put the ravioli. But it's not time to relax yet. Ahead - pears in wine.

"At men are indignant at this: they make you work, but you can’t drink wine, pears, you see, need it more»

And when two and a half hours have passed and, it would seem, is the time to sit down and start getting to know each other, the chef announces that he has prepared heart-shaped cookies for everyone, which must first be poured with orange icing (which is prepared on the spot), and then decorated with stars and edible inscriptions. And then take pictures with your creations. This three-hour marathon showed that men are, in principle, more tenacious, since they have time to properly serve all the dishes when women have already lost their enthusiasm along with manicures.

At parting, the host gives all the girls red roses and recipe books, and then helps to pack the remaining food with him in plastic containers (a nice detail that other culinary schools have not gotten their hands on).

In the dry residue - a bunch tasty food, which there is no energy to finish eating, and an old friend who is somewhat dumbfounded by the amount of information. At a common table decorated with candles, everyone eats in silence, but everyone will remember this Valentine's Day for a long time. Far-sighted women, of course, would hardly dare to cook so many dishes, they would rather prefer lacy underwear and a bottle of champagne. But cooking together at the pace of the march for a change is very useful.

In her cozy studio, Yulia Vysotskaya will not only cook breakfast, but also, together with invited experts and friends, will give practical advice and will offer solutions to many family and domestic problems.

The program will become a kind of navigator for women, which will help them find their bearings in the rapidly changing modern world.
