In this presentation I would like to give you an overview of different national food traditions. The points I will be addressing are:
French cuisine and its features;
Italian cuisine;
Russian cuisine
So let me move to my first point. France, a country famous for its delicious recipes, that are both healthy and refined.

French regional cuisine is characterized by its extreme diversity and style. Traditionally, each region of France has its own distinctive cuisine. French cuisine varies according to the season. Fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as fish and meat, can be purchased either from supermarkets or specialty shops.
Now let’s compare it with Italian food tradition. Italian cuisine is characterized by its simplicity, with many dishes having only four to eight ingredients. Traditional Central Italian cuisine uses ingredients such as tomatoes, all kinds of meat, fish, and pecorino cheese. The word pasta is also used to refer to dishes in which pasta products are a primary ingredient. It is usually served with sauce. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it? Each area has its own specialties, primarily at a regional level, but also at provincial level. The differences can come from a bordering country (such as France or Austria) and economics. Italian cuisine is also seasonal with priority placed on the use of fresh produce.
Here me moved to our national food tradition. Apart from Italian and French, Russian food tradition has its own particularities. The cuisine is much much more diverse, as Russia is the largest country in the world. Moreover, it is necessary to divide Russian traditional cuisine and Soviet
