“The cooking process is a great emotional relief for me. But I don’t cook dinner every day - a busy shooting schedule doesn’t provide such an opportunity. Although in the most difficult working mode, if my soul asks, I can get up to the stove - even at night! I also have a column in social networks with the appropriate name: "Night dojoor with Polina Maximova" (smiles.) I learned to cook from my grandmothers. One of them skillfully sculpted dumplings - this is a dish of my childhood. The whole family prepared them. It was a fascinating process: grandmother sifted flour into a large enamel bowl, added eggs, water, and began to knead the dough. At that time, grandfather was twisting the meat - on an old, mechanical meat grinder, which was fastened with a screw to the edge of the table. Then, when the dough was rolled out into a large thin pancake, my mother cut circles with a special glass. And then we all together at the same table began to lay out the filling and sculpt dumplings - for conversations, stories, laughter. It is in such joint creativity that a real family appears for me. Now my signature dish for dinner is rabbit with mushrooms. I share the recipe!"
