Russian cuisine is original and varied. It’s famous for its exotic soups (cabbage /beetroot soup – borsch, pickles soup – rassolnik), pirojki (meat, fish or jam pies) and pelmeni (ravioli generally served with sour cream).

When a holiday, the Russian custom is to cook a lot of dishes (usually, several salads, zakuski), the menu like one first dish - main dish - dessert is rare.
