RUSSIA
Majestic imperial palaces, spectacular scenery and its astonishing history make Russia absolutely unforgettable. Its harsh winters mean that warming and substantial stews, soups and dumplings are all widely eaten. Must-tries include borscht, pirog, a traditional pie stuffed with mushroom, meat, fish and fruit, and blinis, little pancakes served with caviar, cheese and ham, or sweet with jams, honey and cottage cheese.
