The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

This was excellent and filling. I hadn't set out to make a vegetarian dinner, as I just wanted to try borscht for the first time. But I didn't miss meat at all afterward.

This is exactly what I think of when I imagine borscht. I was really happy with It's fast and rich and surprisingly simple. I used a vegetarian "chicken" broth instead of vegetable broth and added garlic powder and a little dill to mine.
