When purchasing semi-finished products (mayonnaise, spring rolls, stewed meat, condensed milk, etc.) in the store, have you ever thought that it might be cheaper to cook this at home? Anatoly Borsch did not just think, he decided to experimentally find the answer to this question and share the results with the audience. Do not know such a person? And didn’t hear anything about his show? Now we will fix it.
Who is Anatoly Borsch?
He is called a shocking food blogger, and also a noble swindler. The real name of the king of cookery and television is Anatoly Bordiyan. He studied cooking in the United States, polished his skills in the best restaurants in St. Petersburg and Moscow, he can afford not only traditional cuisine, but also molecular. He says that already at the age of 12 he felt a craving for culinary experiments.
Anatoly Borsch is known for his creative approach to cooking: chicken in a washing machine, carbonara in a kettle, steak on an iron, barbecue skewers . Often pronounces the word "babaski". He has his own channel on Youtube, and the official public is working on the VKontakte social network.

About the "Borsch show"
This is a unique author's project, which became a debut on television for Anatoly. The essence of the show is that the presenter first purchases semi-finished products of different manufacturers in Moscow stores, prepares the same dish of fresh products himself, then analyzes several parameters:
- cost;
- taste qualities;
- texture;
- composition, etc.
In the final of the program, the presenter identifies the best semi-finished product, and also answers the question of whether it was worth the time to cook or if it was better to just go to the supermarket. Each time, Anatoly emphasizes that his opinion is personal, the viewer has the right to disagree with him and even argue in the comments on the video on the website of the U channel.
The first season of the show
The pilot issue of the show was dedicated to climbing. Anatoly bought several types of this dish from various manufacturers (from the cheapest to the most expensive) in the capital's supermarket. Then he cooked it himself. At the same time, the host not only shared the recipe of his signature lasagna and professional secrets with the audience, but also calculated the cost of the finished product. Thanks to this, everyone can make their own conclusion: it is worth buying convenience foods or cooking at home.
For the entire first season, in addition to lasagna, in front of the viewers were prepared and analyzed:
- fritters;
- stew;
- mayonnaise;
- condensed milk;
- nuggets;
- pancakes with meat;
- cheesecakes;
- chicken cutlets;
- Cupcakes
- crackers;
- salted herring;
- pizza;
- kupaty;
- sauces;
- barbecue;
- burger.
The second season is being shot, in it the famous cook Sergey Malakhovsky will become a partner of Borsch.
The show went on air on Sunday morning on the U channel. If you missed everything, do not be discouraged. You can view the transfer archives on the channel’s website.
Viewers reviews
People write that they like the show. The material is presented with humor, a lot of useful information and life hacks. There are almost no such programs on television. Lead is found an interesting and charming man. The pluses include the fact that the shooting takes place not in a cool restaurant interior, but in an ordinary kitchen with simple dishes and household appliances. It inspires viewers.
Why else could this show stand out from the huge number of cooking programs? The host really burns, but you can’t say otherwise. Of course, sometimes his jokes are on the verge, but nevertheless he manages to balance it deftly, so the transfer also becomes a good antidepressant.
Anatoly Borsch bribes and the lack of snobbery. Yes, he honestly says that he loves purchased mayonnaise rather than home-made, is not shy about eating food during cooking (and don't you do that?), If the experiment turned out to be unsuccessful (and that was), he honestly admits this and draws conclusions without trying to save "an impeccable professional reputation."
Viewers say the show is very useful. In it you can find not only recipes for cooking restaurant-quality dishes, but also the nuances of the choice of ingredients, the chef's subtleties, the secrets of saving time on cooking and money on products. In short, the show is willingly recommended for viewing to all who are interested in cooking, who want to improve cooking skills and prudently save. The channel of Anatoly Bordiyan is also praised on Youtube.
