Soviet cuisine,the commoncuisineof theSoviet Union,was formed by the integration of the various national cuisines of the Soviet Union, in the course of the formation of theSoviet people.It is characterized by a limited number of ingredients and simplified cooking. This type of cuisine was prevalent incanteenseverywhere in the Soviet Union. It became an integral part of household cuisine and was used in parallel with national dishes, particularly in large cities. Generally, Soviet cuisine was shaped by Soviet eating habits and a very limited availability of ingredients in most parts of the USSR. Most dishes were simplifications ofFrench,Russian,Austro-Hungariancuisines, and cuisines from otherEastern Blocnations. Caucasian cuisines, particularlyGeorgian cuisine,contributed as well.[1]
To a significant extent it was reflected in and formed byThe Book of Tasty and Healthy Food,first printed in 1939, following the directions ofAnastas Mikoyan.[2]
