Preserving folk traditions: unique Zhorovka bread baking recipe

The folk traditions center is located in the center of Zhorovka village, Lyuban District. It is mainly known for its unique old-age cooking recipes. Irina Zhudrik, the head of the Zhorovka folk traditions center, loves baking. Irina's ancestors have been making bread for over a hundred years. The recipe of Zhorovka bread locally known as kulitka was recognized as a historical and cultural value in 2020. Women always made sure that no one entered the house while kulitka is sent into an oven. They believed that a person would take away the family's prosperity.

The folk traditions center resembles a museum of rural Belarusian lifestyle. On display there are clay pots, painted carpets, old chests, woven tablecloths, beautiful pillows and bedspreads.
