Fruits and vegetables — these are more than a matter of botany — they are a vital part of our lives. And accordingly, today’s chefs defy any and all efforts to put them in a box. Take apples, for instance. Yes, we bake them into pies and Charlotte cakes, make fruit snacks, applesauce, juice, and even jellies. But—! Apples can, and should, be cooked like vegetables. Not just firm and tart ones, but sweet ones too. In other words, any apples that grow in your garden will do! RTG host, Vladimir Pavlov dispenses with convention and reimagines this beloved fruit! He’ll transform some simple apples into a rich, spicy Indian sauce and serve it with lamb. Only on Russian Travel Guide.
