Discover Russian Cuisine

Russian cuisine has a long history dating back to the 10th century. It is very diverse, with influences from Eastern and Western Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East. The modern Russian cuisine is also influenced by Soviet cuisine and the cuisines of other post-Soviet countries. There are many popular Russian dishes, such as borscht, pelmeni, blini, stroganoff, and shchi. Russian cuisine is known for its hearty meals and rich flavors.

A Brief History of Russian Cuisine
The first mention of Russian cuisine can be found in the 10th-century work called "The Domostroi," which describes household management under Prince Vladimir the Great. This work mentions such staples of Russian cuisine as rye bread, dairy products, garlic, onions, and local herbs. By the 13th century, new ingredients and cooking techniques had been introduced to Russia through trade with other countries. For example, honey-sugar candy was brought from Persia, while kvass (a fermented beverage made from bread) was introduced by the Tatars.

During the era of Catherine the Great in the 18th century, French cooking became very popular at the royal court. This led to the development of a new style of Russian cuisine known as "French learning." Some French words even entered the Russian language during this time, such as "mayonnaise" and "quiche." By the 19th century, Russian cuisine had been influenced by German and Austrian cooking as well. Potatoes and macaroni became common ingredients in Russian dishes during this time.

The Soviet Era
During the Soviet era (1917-1991), food was rationed and many people could not afford to eat out or buy luxury items such as meat or butter. As a result, home cooking became more common during this time. Soviet cuisine was also influenced by cuisines from other Soviet republics such as Uzbekistan and Georgia. Common ingredients in Soviet dishes included buckwheat, cabbage, beets, carrots, and potatoes. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, there was a resurgence of interest in traditional Russian cuisine. New restaurants began popping up all over the country serving traditional Russian dishes like borscht and pelmeni. In recent years, there has also been a rise in fusion cuisine in Russia, with chefs combining traditional Russian ingredients and cooking techniques with those from other cuisines.
