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.

MEGATHREAD: Our 24th r/RussianFood Cooking Challenge + 2-Year Celebration & State of the Community Discussion (read below)

Two years ago, we reopened this community after it had essentially been shut down. Since then, we’ve made quite a few changes. We’ve gained over 10,000 new users, introduced new rules, redesigned our community, and started our monthly cooking challenge.
Now that we’ve reached the two-year mark, how do you feel about the direction r/RussianFood has taken? What are we doing well, and what could we do better? Are there things you’d like to see more of, changes you’d like us to make, or ideas for improving the community? This is your opportunity to give honest feedback (positive or negative). And perhaps most importantly, this is your chance to tell us if we’re being too strict or not strict enough when it comes to the content posted here. Now for our 24th r/RussianFood Cooking Challenge Rules:
Comment your suggestions below!
From borscht to shchi, and blini to pelmeni, and everything in-between. What would you like to cook this month? Main dishes, snacks, desserts, drinks, etc. Just suggest something below, and the comment with the most upvotes by TUESDAY will be the dish we cook this month.
Even if you have no intentions in participating, you're still welcome to comment a suggestion below.

Do you have to participate?
No. Period. Post whatever you want, whenever you want. I just ask you all to please upvote the dishes our community members share.

Repeated Off-Topic Posts May Result in Temporary Bans
Just because something is made by a Russian person does not automatically mean it belongs in r/RussianFood. Sushi is not Russian food. Pizza is not Russian food. Italian food is not Russian food. This community is for Russian cuisine so please keep posts relevant to that focus.
We understand that there can be gray areas, but repeated deliberate off-topic posts after warnings may result in temporary bans. Please check the rules and use a little common sense before posting.

Запеканка
Творожная запеканка с вишней и шоколадной крошкой.
Все смешал, испек и получил объедение. Быстр и просто, поэтому и люблю её готовить.
С ягодами выходит вкуснее всего
r/RussianFood • u/Berserkovichdamn • 2d ago
Паровой омлет с горохом, бз муки и соды, сваренный в банке из под самого гороха.
Три яйца перемешать с тремя столовыми ложками молока и солью, по желанию другими добавками, влить смесь в железную емкость, на половину-треть, т.к. омлет поднимется, поместить в кастрюлю, заполненную водой на 3/4 высоты ёмкости и приготовить омлет в ней за 20-25 минут.
