Hi and welcome to my blog! 🙂
My name is Mila and I’m founder of milkandbun blog. I love cooking and especially baking, as well as food styling and photography. When I cook I try to come up with simple and easy, tasty and healthy recipes. Though I make some complicated dishes time to time, like famous Russian pie – koulebyaka.
I’m Russian, but currently live in Dubai. Many of my recipes I blog about are from traditional Russian cuisine, which for some people seems exotic but for me is pretty normal, and it’s not only borsch and blini.
I can’t say that I loved to cook when I was younger and lived with my parents; my wonderful mother was a chef in our kitchen, and her pies have been the most delicious in the world for me ever since. But after got married I forced myself to cook. 😀 and eventually fell in love with a cooking and food styling.
Please feel free to like, comment and ask any questions about recipes, ingredients or technique. My pleasure is to help you and share my experience.
I’m open for cooperation with food bloggers, communities, magazines, also restaurants etc. with a mutual benefit. If you’re interested in food styling or photography please contact me for further information.

You have a nice blog and I am hopeful that at some point you will publish something about how to properly serve caviar and (perhaps!) those that you think are the best Vodka’s out there!

Dearest Mila,
What a unique blog you have set up, I am loving the beautiful photography and getting to know you through your delicious recipes. Like you I only began cooking after I left my parents home, and it is now a new passion, cooking makes me feel home away from home 🙂
I am now living in NY where is a large Russian community, and I am enjoying trying Russian foods, especially from countries of the former USSR such as Uzbek/Kazakh foods that have a fusion of Russian/Eastern European/Asian/Middle-Eastern foods.
So excited to follow you on your cooking adventures 🙂
Thank you so much for the warm and lovely words! Absolutely agree about USSR foods, there are so many different recipes, and that’s really great that we can expand our culinary horizons!
Looking forward to chating with you more! 🙂
Awesome recipes and more awesome clicks 🙂 I especially like the name ‘Milk and bun’, Good knowing you 🙂 Looking forward.
Hi! Nice to meet you too! 🙂 Thanks so much for your friendly comment! See you around! 🙂
Thank you for dropping by my blog.
Thank you for stopping by Storyteller. — Ray
Marriage (and children) is what got me cooking also. Now I love being in the kitchen and not much feels better than feeding people good food. Xx
Hi Mila, it’s nice to see so many russian recipes:) I was born in Russia but rarely cook russian food. Not sure why… I will definitely be back to check more of your recipes. Beautiful blog! Olga xxx ps. I feel like I should be writing in russian:)
Hi/Privet Olga! Nice to meet you! What cuisine do you prefer? 🙂 and I love Russian cuisine, but prefer healthy recipes and not very fatty dishes. 🙂
Well, I think I like all types of cuisine. I like to experiment in the kitchen. I make almost everything: mexican, asian, russian, Mediterranean, etc. I think I just like to eat:) will be back to check more of your delicious recipes! Have a nice weekend!
Where did your love of cooking really blossom? I see your passion on the page! How did you ever end up in Dubai and leave your homeland? Great blog here!
