Russia, the largest country in the world, occupies one-eighth of the planet's landmass. It spans eleven time zones and a wide range of environments and landscapes. From the frozen tundra of Siberia to the sun-soaked beaches of the Black Sea coast, Russia has something for everyone.
Russian cuisine is a diverse blend of hearty and flavorful dishes, reflecting the country's vast geography and cultural influences. It features staples like bread, potatoes, and cabbage, often accompanied by meats such as beef, pork, and fish. Traditional dishes include borscht, a beet soup; pelmeni, meat-filled dumplings; and blini, thin pancakes. Russian cuisine also incorporates a variety of pickled vegetables and sour cream as a common condiment. Influences from neighboring countries and regions have enriched the culinary landscape, making it a unique and robust cuisine.
