UNCLE BILL'S RUSSIAN/DOUKHOBOUR BORSCHT
This RUSSIAN/DOUKHOBOUR BORSCHT originated with my Russian Grandmother who was a vegetarian. Traditionally, the Russian/Doukhobours used about 1 pound of butter and at least 3 cups of whipping cream. I finally was able to make numerous adjustments to the ingredients and then reduce the amount of butter and whipping cream so that the Borscht tastes just as good, but not as rich. The procedure is rather lengthy, but is worth every bit of that time. The Borscht may be canned or frozen in containers. The original Russian Borscht had meat in it and also they used many red beets.

BARSZCZ (CLASSIC POLISH BORSCHT)
Most Slavic countries have their own form of beet soup, a winter staple across Central and Eastern Europe. Barszcz, the Polish variation, is usually served as a clear burgundy broth with bright, wintry flavors. It is sweeter and beefier than Ukrainian or Russian borscht, and much less textural: Most vegetables are strained after imparting their flavor, though the soup may include grated beets or morsels of meat. This recipe is adapted from "From a Polish Country House Kitchen," an anthropological cookbook by Anne Applebaum and Danielle Crittenden (Chronicle Books, 2012). Strain the vegetables entirely and sip the restorative broth directly from a mug, or serve the soup with sour cream and enjoy with pierogi.

Steps:
- In a large pot, combine the beets, bones, carrots, parsnip, onion, leek, celery, garlic and bay leaves, plus the mushrooms, peppercorns and marjoram, if using. Top with 14 cups water. (There should be enough water to cover all the ingredients.) Bring to a boil over high.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. As it cooks, use a small ladle to periodically skim off and discard any foam, impurities and fat that have risen to the top of the pot.
- Transfer the 3 whole beets to a cutting board to cool. Strain the soup through a colander set over a large bowl. Remove the bones and press the solids to extract all the liquids, then strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean medium saucepan.
- Once they're cool enough to handle, chop the reserved whole beets into small 1/2-inch cubes. Stir the diced beets into the soup and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat soup over medium until warmed, then stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Serve very hot in small bowls or even large teacups, which you can pick up and drink. If desired, serve with a spoonful of sour cream. Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
BORSCHT
Though often associated with Russian cuisine, this red beet soup is originally from Ukraine. Recipes vary from region to region and family to family, but in addition to beets, potatoes, cabbage, carrots and onion are standard. A dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of dill add extra flavor and visual appeal.

VEGETARIAN "MEATLOAF" - POLISH STYLE
I call this Polish style because most of the ingredients used are found in typical Polish recipes. This is great made ahead of time as it improves after sitting for a few hours. As with most recipes this is versatile. To make this vegan opt for margarine instead of butter and use 1 T. flax meal instead of the egg. This of course is great the next day on a "meatloaf" sandwich.

Steps:
- Preheat over to 375.
- Place bread on a plate and cover with the milk. Let sit to absorb.
- In a small saucepan bring the broth or water with 1 T. of the butter or margarine, a little pepper and a pinch of salt to a boil. At the same time heat the kasha in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, toasting lightly. When broth/water comes to a boil add the toasted kasha and cook for about 10 minutes, covered until water is absorbed. Let cool slightly.
- In a skillet, melt 1 T. butter and cook onion and garlic over medium heat. Once the onions are translucent add the mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes.
- Squeeze out any excess water in the spinach and give it a rough chop. Put in a medium bowl and add kasha mixture, onion mixture, milk soaked bread, potatoes or walnuts, beets, chili sauce or ketchup, worcestershire, pickle juice, soy sauce, dill and marjoram. Mix this very well until everything is completely incorporated. Give a taste and add fresh pepper and (if needed) salt. Add the egg and mix completely.
- Butter a loaf pan. Add 1/2 cup chili sauce or ketchup to the bottom of the pan. Add the "meatloaf" mixture and even out the top. Add another 1/2 cup of chili sauce or ketchup to the top. With a fork, poke a few holes in the top to let steam escape.
- Bake for 1 hour. Lower temperature to 300 and cook another 1/2 hour.
- *Different ovens may require different temperatures and cooking times. Just keep checking on it and see what works for you.
