About this episode

This episode dives into the story of Baba Yaga, exploring her origins and characteristics, along with a unique food and drink pairing.

She is feared across many, and is known to be a trickster. Her name strikes fear into those who hear it. There's a reason why they gave the name to John Wick. Baba Yaga. This week we are diving into the story that is Baba Yaga. Where she originates. Who she is and everything in between from her flying mortar and pestle to her spinning house with chicken legs. Our food and drink pairing this week is corn flakes with the Baba Yaga cocktail (lemon juice, orange juice, thyme, basil, mint and elderflower lemonade).
