Kvass is a drink for everybody. Different families have their own recipes of making it. This drink also serves as the main ingredient for other dishes, for example, okroshka which is essentially a salad with kvass.

Valenki

Valenki is a traditional winter footwear in Russia. They are made of sheep’s wool. These warm felt boots have been worn by generations of Russians. Today people wear them in villages and cities. Designers offer new models with colourful decorations. Originally, valenki were handmade and produced only in Siberia. Valenki’s modern look appeared in Nizhny Novgorod Region in the 18^th century. Then they were very expensive, and sometimes a family could afford only one pair for its members. Mass production of them began only in the 19^th century and they became the country’s big hit. Valenki can be multifunctional, as they effectively relieve pain.

Holodets

Holodets (also called studen) is a jellied meat dish of traditional Russian cuisine. It first appeared in the 16^th century and got its name from the word holod, as it is eaten cold and often people have it with horseradish or mustard on top. It’s usually cooked for winter festive refreshments. As with many Russian dishes the origin of holodets remains a mystery, but its recipe is not. You cook strong broth by boiling different types of meat or poultry, or even a combination of both. You are banned to add any gelatin or artificial additives in it. Now people can cook and enjoy this dish anytime.
