June 12: Sample these Unique Slavic Recipes on Russia Day
The national holiday of the Russian Federation is a great reason to experiment with Slavic cuisine! Celebrated every year since 1992, the holiday commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Sovereignty by Russian parliament. Russians celebrate this day with concerts and fireworks. In addition, the president grants state awards to writers, humanitarians, and scientists in elaborate televised ceremonies.
Slavic culinary traditions are often overshadowed and most Americans are unfamiliar with them. Some incorrectly assume they are unappetizing. This is not the case and Russia Day is a good opportunity to learn about this unique cuisine. Stroganoff is well-known and easily made with chicken or beef. Borsch is a well-known comfort food made with beef and cabbage. Desserts are also available as shortbread cookies or honey cakes. However you wish to experiment, Russian cuisine offers many options!
