| | Food, Russian Cuisine - Johnson's Russia List 5-8-03 |
 | | Shaped by history, climate, economics and geography, it is a cuisine as rich, fascinating and complex as Russia herself. |
 | | Modern-day Russian cuisine incorporates foods from many cultures, but everyday family dishes in Russia are still, by and large, the eastern European fare familiar to most Americans. |
 | | Russia's harsh climate forces cooks to rely heavily on cold-weather vegetables like potatoes, cabbage, beets, carrots and onions, so everyone eagerly awaits summer's fresh produce. |
