Borscht

Borscht is difficult to avoid if you're travelling in Russia for any length of time. The tasty beetroot soup is a staple of the Russian people and a must-eat if you want a real taste of Russian cuisine. Russians joke that no two borscht recipes are ever the same so it's definitely worth trying a few variations. If you would like to re-create the recipe yourself at home, here's a good one from the BBC cooking guide:

...But like the Russians you can always adapt it and make your own version!

If you're visiting Russia soon let us know and we can help organise a gourmet tour for you, including a borscht cookery masterclass!
