What defines Russian cooking
Russian cooking centers on hearty, warming dishes built to survive long winters, with soups, stews, and rich dairy playing a central role alongside pickled and fermented vegetables. Onion and carrot form the aromatic base of countless soups and braises, while butter and sour cream lend richness to everything from potatoes to pastries. Home cooks typically encounter slow simmering, generous use of dill and parsley, and a reliance on bread as a constant accompaniment to the meal.
