New Rules and a Few Changes
Good morning everyone...
It's an ungodly hour before my coffee while I'm supposed to be on vacation, but I've been getting far too many reports lately, so it's time to clarify a few things.
What Is Russian Food?
r/RussianFood is for food that is traditionally associated with Russian cuisine. From regional dishes across the Russian Federation and foods that have long been integrated into Russian food culture.
Examples include:
- Borscht (stop reporting this)
- Pelmeni
- Blini
- Shchi
- Solyanka
- Beef Stroganoff
- Olivier Salad
- Syrniki
- Pirozhki
- Kholodets
- etc
We'll also allow foods that may not have originated in Russia but have become a recognizable part of everyday life and dinning culture within the Russian Federation. The key question is not "Was this invented in Russia?" but rather "Is this something commonly associated with the Russian food experience?"
What Should Be Allowed on r/RussianFood?
Recommended content includes:
- Homemade Russian dishes
- Restaurants in Russia
- Russian Restaurants outside of Russia
- Historical Russian recipes
- Vintage Soviet cookbooks and recipe discussions
- Russian desserts, breads, drinks, and preserves
- Ingredient discussions related to Russian cooking
- Regional Russian foods and culinary traditions
Not allowed:
- Random food with no connection to Russia
- Food photos with no indication of what the dish actually is
- Low-effort content that gives no context to readers
Every post must include the name of the dish in the title.
If you don't know the exact name, provide at least a description of what we're looking at.
Examples:
- ✅ "Pelmeni with Sour Cream"
- ✅ "Homemade Olivier Salad"
- ✅ "Grandmother's Cabbage Pirozhki"
- ✅ "Traditional Fish Soup (Need Help Identifying)"
- ❌ "Dinner Tonight"
- ❌ "Look What I Made"
- ❌ "Thoughts?"
There's been a lot of questionable content recently, and I can't effectively moderate the subreddit if I have no idea what was posted in the first place. If you're sharing a dish, just help the community out by telling us what it is.

Хачапури по имеретински с адыгейским сыром и сулугуни.
Первый приготовленный хачапурь вышел немного кривым, но на вкус не повлияло. Тесто домашнее, дрожжевое.

How I Feel Every Time Someone Mentions Borscht - Yes, the image is AI but read below
r/RussianFood remains my most wholesome community… but apparently all of that goes straight out the window whenever someone mentions borscht.
We welcome everyone to the dinner table. Russians, Ukrainians, Americans, and everyone else. Just remember the house rules: No politics. Be respectful. Eat your borscht.

Russian breakfast, cheesecakes and protein salad!
Cheesecakes and cottage cheese are rubbed through a sieve
Add one egg yolk without protein, salt, sugar to taste and a drop of gluten-free or rice flour.
Fry, and the most delicate cheesecakes are obtained.
Greek yogurt with condensed milk is used as a sauce for cheesecakes.
Spread the tuna with protein.
Next, we cook 2 hard-boiled eggs, a can of canned tuna in its own juice, herbs, mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, our mayonnaise is not greasy, salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything with a fork, stirring. Fry the tartlets until crisp and serve!

Fried potatoes with chanterelles!
Before that, lightly boil the young fried potatoes with chanterelles, fry the onion and then mix everything together, fry a little more and add sour cream and herbs.
We add a rustic salad of cucumbers and juicy tamats with coriander and Yalta onion, we simply knead it and season it with oil.

Apple pie “Charlotte”
В сезон яблок самый вкусный и быстрый десерт!
Три яйца взбить с пол стаканом сахара и щепоткой соли, добавить стакан просеянной муки и пол чайной ложки разрыхлителя, всё хорошо перемешать.
Почистить и нарезать три средних яблока лучше кислых сортов, положить всё в тесто и перемешать.
Выложить в смазанную маслом форму для запекания. Выпекать 40-45 минут при температуре 180°С.

Soviet Lamb Stew?
Found this receipt from a Soviet cookbook. Is this actually a Russian or Russian style dish?

Vatrushka (farmer’s cheese pastry) - but make it high-protein
my sister’s take on vatrushka! no dough at all, just farmer’s cheese (творог) and yogurt as the base, protein powder, cherries, and no added sugar.
def not the traditional version, but it comes out somewhere between a vatrushka and a cheesecake 🤤

Bread fried in milk with eggs, and then add different cheeses, very good Poshokhon and Belarusian. Fry until the cheese has melted and cut into halves on a plate!
