Culinary traditions of the Soviet Union
Soviet cuisine
, the common cuisine of the
Soviet Union
, was formed by the integration of the various national cuisines of the Soviet Union, in the course of the formation of the
Soviet people
. It is characterized by a limited number of ingredients and simplified cooking. This type of cuisine was prevalent in
canteens
everywhere 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 of
French
,
Russian
,
Austro
-
Hungarian
cuisines, and cuisines from other
Eastern Bloc
nations. Caucasian cuisines, particularly
Georgian cuisine
, contributed as well.

To a significant extent it was reflected in and formed by
The Book of Tasty and Healthy Food
, first printed in 1939, following the directions of
Anastas Mikoyan
.
