RUSSIA
A
Russian meal starts with a snack, heats up with a soup,
amazes with the main course and finishes off with dessert
 Visiting
Russia is a wonderful opportunity to explore a vast
array of exciting and ancient cultures, from the glittering
imperial Russia of St Petersburg to the timeless village
life of Siberia and Irkutsk. Today's Russia is a country
filled with great diversity and an exciting enrrgy.
It is as if the cultural traditions of a century ago
have re-awakened with a newfound strength - ancient
cathedrals are being rebuilt and restored, colourful
markets hum with activity once again and literature
and the arts are quickly regaining the creative renown
they enjoyed decades ago. A new Russia is now in full
bloom.
Most
of us know Russia only by the names of its European
cities like Moscow and St Petersburg and then only from
glimpses seen on the television. It is a country that
spans eleven time zones and two continents and within
this vast expanse lie the largest freshwater lake in
the world, rivers and forests teeming with fish and
wildlife, awe inspiring volcanos and towering mountains.
Russia is the largest country on Earth, with enormous
tracts of land that have been opened to travellers only
in the last few years.
Just
as Russia's rich cultural heritage has once more come
to life, so has its food and the cusine of a new country
waiting to be discovered.

Taste
of Russia in St Petersburg |
| Russia,
in terms of food, is still exotic, and it
is still only in Russia itself that the exoticism
of Russian food can be fully experienced.
Only in Russia can you go to a farmer's market
and be offered a honeycomb to sample, caviar
in tubs, or grapes, arrived from Samarkand
that morning. Russian cuisine is much more
than vodka and caviar, and Spoonful Tours
offers you the opportunity to discover the
real recipes and ingredients on a cooking
holiday to Russia. |
