On Tuesday, September 19, a family culinary show was launched on the TV channel of Ukraine. Svekruha chi nevyistka. According to the rules of the project, every housewife is faced with the task of preparing a dish that is suggested by their beloved man - son or husband.
At the end of the competition, both meals will be prepared for presentation by the presenter, so that the head of the family does not guess what kind of dish was cooked by the mother, and what kind of wife. Only after the tasting the man will make such a difficult choice and determine the winner of the culinary duel.
About the details of the new show in an exclusive interview to the TV site. UA was told by the project leader Grigory German.
Grigory, to understand the motivation of women who came to the project to compete for the title of the chief cook in the family, it is very simple. But who are the men who decided to participate in the show?.
Basically, we had men who, by the will of fate, were, so to speak, between two fires. This is a situation where both women are trying to become the "queen of the mountain" within the same family. But in fact, in the process of ascertaining who is in charge and who is the boss in the house, the man always suffers. Because in the understanding of these women, a man must choose someone: the woman who gave birth to him and who he loves by birth, or the woman whom he himself chose and that he loves by the right choice of his heart.
And who do you choose?.
I do not choose anyone, because we do not have a conflict in our family. At us all it is so lovely and absolutely remarkably razlilos. My mother and my wife are the smartest women, they treat each other with understanding, with the knowledge that it is always necessary to make some concessions and seek a common denominator.
In the program, do you also lead to the need to find a common denominator?.
Of course! It is always necessary to communicate, talk, find out and remember that this conflict can not be solved by the absolute and unconditional victory of one of the parties. Because the second party will still feel humiliated, insulted and in full miserable. Always you need to make some compromise.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who participate in the show, do you have to share one kitchen at home?.
Mostly - yes. This is one of the main pain points - joint living and joint farming. There were also participants who live separately, but the connection between the son and mother is so great that the mother almost every day in their home.
Cooking coming?.
Cooking, caring for a son, grandson or granddaughter. Because of the lack of free time for parents, the grandmother comes to look after her grandchildren every day, which means that in fact she lives in this family. In this situation, one side sometimes lacks tact. Sometimes, a father-in-law, in his desire to do everything right and well, goes beyond the line beyond which another family begins.
Do you think it's better to live separately from the very beginning?.
Ideally - yes.
And if it does not work out?.
First, come to our program, we will help. We will still help with advice, because we did not plan to buy apartments in the near future, although this is a good idea, and we will work on it (laughs). Well, if you live together, you should always look for the rules of the hostel.
But the rules of the hostel have their own.
Quite right. We had one family, in which everything was for hours: in the morning, my mother-in-law was preparing, in the evening - my daughter-in-law.
Did they have different refrigerators?.
No, the refrigerator was one, but the time spent in the kitchen was clearly regulated. And this is also an element of conflict, because when my husband came hungry from work, his wife's time was not yet coming, and my mother had already prepared everything. That is, the young girl did not have time to meet her husband as expected and to cook something of her own, but my mother's borsch, cutlets and everything else are ready. It is clear that the man was full of borscht and cutlets, and the girl was offended. And we also tried to solve this situation.
Had to move the watch?.
Yes, they shifted the clock, agreed that the wife still cooks dinner, and mother - breakfast.
Did everyone leave happy after the shooting is over?.
I hope that everyone left with the realization of what to do next. I will be happy at least for this, because our program is a very important and important moment, but this is just an episode in their life, which, maybe, will tell them how to solve problems.
I know that you lost weight by 8 kg before the start of the shooting season "Svekruhi chi nevystki".
Yes, it's true to get into beautiful clothes, I had to work hard. When I was approved for the role of presenter, I weighed 107 kg. For a month and a half before the shooting, I dropped 8 kg. But it was quite an intensive process: 4-5 times a week I was engaged in the hall, plus - the installation of the correct rational nutrition to monitor the weight.
In the summer, in the process of filming, I also continued to lose weight - of course, I could not go to the hall so often, but I took with me to the shooting and protein cocktails, salads, and curds. Well and plus to it, to me children always helped a chicken breast. Now my weight is 91 kg, that is for four months I dropped 16 kg. In this form I feel much more comfortable and easier.
See the show Svokruha chi nevystka from Monday to Friday at 10:40 on the Ukraine channel and after the air on our website TV. UA.
