Why Borscht deserves more attention

Borscht rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The rich and warming complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using dill correctly takes real skill.

many dishes are tied to Orthodox religious calendar. I encountered it first in a family Sunday lunch and that context helped me understand it properly. kvass is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Borscht is the dish to start with.
