Making Syrniki for the First Time | Filipina Mom Living in Russia

Описание: Living in Russia as a Filipina mom has taught me so much about identity, marriage, culture, and food.

In today’s episode of The Filipina in Russia Podcast, I’m making syrniki for the very first time — even though I’ve been married to my Russian husband for more than three years and living in Russia for almost a year.

As a Filipina married to a Russian man and raising a multicultural child, I sometimes wonder:
Should I only cook Filipino food to hold onto my culture?
Or should I learn more Russian recipes for my family?

In this kitchen diary episode, I talk about:
• Being an expat mom in Russia
• Raising a Russian-Filipino child
• Intercultural marriage and food differences
• The emotional side of cooking in another country
• Learning my husband’s childhood meals
• My first attempt at making syrniki

Food is more than just food — sometimes it feels like the last piece of home we can control.

If you’re:
– A Filipina living abroad
– Married to a foreigner
– In an interracial marriage
– Raising bilingual or multicultural kids
– Adjusting to life in another country

this episode is for you.
