Russia is home to a rich variety of recipes. This includes peasant foods, dishes influenced by Ottoman and Persian cuisine, and French-influenced dishes which originated during the Czarist period when Russian nobility was greatly influenced by French culture.
Some popular Russian recipes include:
* Borshch – A vegetable soup made from beets. Cabbage, potatoes or meat may optionally be added.

* Shchi – Cabbage soup. Carrots, meat, parsley and spices may be added. Apples, pickle water or sour cream (”smetana”) may also be used to flavor the dish.
* Soljanka – A thick spicy soup containing fish, meat or mushrooms. Pickled cucumbers are used in the dish, as well as, usually, cabbage, cream, dill and mushrooms.
* Blini – Thin pancakes that may be topped with caviar or sour cream (”smetana”).
* Katlyeti – Pan-fried meatloaves made from beef or pork.
* Studen – Jellied pork or veal. It may be eaten cold with garlic and sour cream (”smetana”), or as a garnish for other dishes.
* Beef Stoganoff РSaut̩ed beef in a sauce with sour cream.
* Veal Prince Orloff – Braised veal cut into slices, with pureed mushrooms and onions between the slices. The dish is topped with opped with bechamel sauce (white sauce) and cheese, and browned in an oven.
