History, tradition and origin
The cooking of Russia and its neighbours was shaped by long winters: root vegetables, cabbage, pickles, soured cream and preserved foods. Beet soup is claimed above all by Ukraine. Thin pancakes are eaten during the festival week before Lent. Beef in sour cream sauce is named after a noble family, and the diced potato salad is a fixture of new year tables.
Food economy and industry
Pickling and fermenting were essential ways to keep the harvest through winter and are still common at home, where many families grow vegetables on small plots. The region is one of the world's great grain belts, and beetroot, potatoes, cabbage and dairy remain staples of both farming and cooking.
