Restaurante ruso Ekaterina

Russian cuisine derives from an innumerable wealth of dishes, due in the first place to the multicultural character and secondly to the vast geographical extension of the country. Its gastronomic foundations are based on rural food of rural populations located in places characterized by an extremely cold climate. We also find in many dishes and spices, the oriental influence by the ancient silk route as well as by the proximity to the Caucasus, Persia and the ancient Ottoman Empire. Many dishes that we consider today typically Russian are of Polish, French or Italian origin. They arrived at the court of Catherine the Great (in Russian: Екатерина Великая, Ekaterina Velikaya or Ekaterina Second) through the Empress's contacts with Western Europe. Subsequently the recipes underwent some modifications when interpreted with local ingredients. Russian cuisine has had a long road of development marked by the history of the country.
