Dishes of traditional Russian cuisine

Today Restaurant.Ru is introducing more dishes of Russian cuisine. In the course of its long history Russian cuisine has incorporated and assimilated a lot of various culinary traditions – from Mongol-Tatar to French –having grown into one of the most diversified cuisines of the world. However, the original everyday table of the Russians was rather modest: it consisted of flour products, porridges, fish, mushrooms, and vegetables. Unlike French, American or Asian cuisines, Russian cuisine does not tend to combine most different ingredients in one dish; on the contrary, vegetables known in Russia since the tenth century – cabbage, radish, turnip, peas, or cucumbers – used to be cooked (pickled, boiled, baked or raw) and eaten separately. The dishes we are presenting today are very easy to cook and delicious.
