Those are beautiful and your photography is amazing! I'm so glad you enjoyed the frosting recipe. I love how you changed it up!

I have many of these recipes including stuffed peppers on my site :) All of those foods you ate are familiar to me and its funny how Russian restaurants make the food look totally homemade. In the US, its hard to make your dish look as yummy as in the restaurants, but Russia is different. Well, I guess Russian food isn't beautiful and its really hard to take pictures of a "cute" stuffed pepper!

I love golubtsi too. I posted a similar recipe: http://natashaskitchen.com/2010/07/05/golubtsi-re... hope you get a chance to check it out. Nice website. I'm always on the lookout for good Russian food websites.
