Tomato and Kamchatka Crab Salad

At the beginning of the 1860’s, Dostoevsky’s social and political agenda focused on the idea of a special and distinctively Russian path towards an “earthly heaven”. Possibly this French dish with a Russian filling may come a little closer to this cherished ideal.

Traditional Blinis with Black or Red Caviar

Siberian Pelemeni with  Sour Cream and Adjika (Spicy Salsa)
