Salad, Moscow!

Well-known Moscow musicians and visiting guests of "Solyanka" became participants in an unusual musical-culinary edition. Its unusualness lies in the fact that a collection of culinary recipes is enclosed together with the music compilation.

For a whole month, those who had performed on the stage afterwards elbowed the workers of the restaurant "Solyanka" aside at the stove. So the professional kitchen staff learned many new dishes, for example the "Lego" soup and the lemon cream from the duo Mujuice + Dzhem.

However, the collection has quite traditional dishes too. Zhenya Borzykh from the group Dsh! Dsh! shared the secret of preparing a soup from "Druzhba" cheese, and the techno musician Korablev cooked up a real seafood borscht. There were masterpieces too. Terry Lee Brown Junior, a representative of the famous label Plastic City, which specialises in refined tech-house, whipped up a no less refined pasta with meatballs by his own recipe. And the duo Bvoice and Khz constructed a stunning duck salad. All of this is carefully documented on photographic film and supplied with detailed recipes.

The selection of tracks is capable of surprising both the gourmet and the music-lover. A great deal of what went into the collection had previously been released only on vinyl, or not released at all. Besides the musicians mentioned above, the project involved D-Pulse, Easy Changes, Suokas, Push'n'Pull and the German duo Scott.

The presentation of the collection will take place on Friday 22 May at the club "Solyanka" with the participation of foreign guests – the project Scott – and Moscow artists, who will play DJ sets. Sometimes not entirely ordinary ones. For example, the propagandists of desperate minimal-techno Easy Changes will indulge themselves, performing a special selection of records with '80s rock.
