Piroshky will always connect me to my Baba – Piroshky are popular Russian boat-shaped pies that can be held in one hand, and for this reason, they’re often eaten at picnics. They can have sweet or savory fillings. Common choices include ground meat (usually beef, pork or a mix), sautéed cabbage, mashed potato, fried mushrooms or stewed fruits. Although you can eat piroshky hot or cold, the tastiest is when they’re pulled straight from the deep fryer or oven. My Baba Tonia baked the best piroshky in Sydney. Sometimes I’d pop over after school just as she was pulling a batch out of the oven. The waft of the yeast-leavened dough and ground meat filling (which she usually mixed with glass noodles – another Chinese influence) was enough to make me drool even before I entered the house. She knew her baked piroshky were my favorites. They were buttery and soft, the mince inside was so fatty the oil would drip as you ate them. Unsurprisingly, I would often eat too many and ‘ruin’ my dinner. (from SBS)

To describe a style as “boho” is to equate it with an easy, free-spirited elegance. And, after a year full of efforts, it’s no wonder that the effortless bohemian wedding dress style is trending.
