Feta is used as a table cheese, in salads such as Greek salad, and in pastries, notably the phyllo-based Greek dishes spanakopita and tyropita. 2. Metsovone is a semi-hard smoked pasta filata cheese. It is an excellent table cheese but is also perfect for grilling. 3. Kasseri is a medium-hard or hard pale yellow cheese. It is a common table cheese used for sandwiches, saganaki or pastries. 4. Kefalotyri is a hard, salty white cheese made from sheep milk or goat's milk. It can be added to stews and sauces or on top of hot pasta.

Greek cuisine uses seeds and nuts in everything from pastry to main dishes. TRADITIONAL GREEK SALADS Greek salads are generally made with pieces of tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, feta cheese on top. It also includes olives and dressed with salt, pepper, Greek oregano, and olive oil.

These products were common in houses. During the holidays, meat dishes were very common, and they represented true culinary masterpieces. During holidays, some of the common dishes were ducks with apples, fried swans or whole roasted pigs (these were common among rich individuals). Before coming from Christianity into the country, Russian cuisines changed significantly adding new dishes and ingredients from other countries. Due to the cold weather, preserved Russian foods were a major part of traditional Russia cuisines. This was vital since some areas would experience cold weather for nine months in a year. This forced the people to preserve as much food as they could. The Russia cuisines relied on different types of food preservation, including smoking, salting, fermentation and soaking. They used fermented and soaked cabbages to make shchi or used as pierogies fillings. On the other hand, soaked apples were used as side dishes or served to guests. In several dishes, pickled cucumber was often used as the primary ingredients, including traditional Russian soups. Dried and salted fish and meat were consumed after fasting. Upon the arrival of Christianity, Russian food became divided into two; non-fasting and fasting meals. For almost seven months, the Russians were devoted to fasting, whereby they limit meat consumption. During this period, they feasted on an array of soups, porridges and some top-notch baked goods, allowing them to have plenty of food to eat even during the fasting periods. ~~~ Social Media ~~~ 👥 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/World-Recipes/ 👥 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/213884180293551 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/aroadtotravel P Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ourbigescape

It can be described as fusion and refinement of Balkan, Mediterranean, Central Asia, Middle Eastern, American, and Eastern Europe cuisines. The Turks grew wheat and often used it in various types of unleavened and leavened bread that were baked in clay ovens, buried in ember, or baked-on griddle. Bugra and Manti were among the popular dishes in the early days. Skewering meat was a famous way of grilling, which was later on known as kebap. In addition to that, their dairy products, such as yogurt and cheese, were staple and convenient for the pastoral Turks. Turks from Central Asia depended on animal husbandry, and when their living conditions became unstable, the Turks migrated to Anatolia. Here, they encountered various ingredients that the Turks incorporated into their cuisine. Their once simple dishes become more complex due to the additional ingredients along with new cooking styles. While in Anatolia, the Turks were first introduced to rice, vegetables, and fruits native to that particular region. ~~~ Social Media ~~~ 👥 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/World-Recipes/ 👥 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/213884180293551 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/aroadtotravel P Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ourbigescape
