I had never made borscht before. I have to say it was really fun and tasted delicious - it's perfect for serving to guests as a warm-up to the main meal. I will definitely make again, it tasted real, fresh and healthy.

I am old fart nearing retirement. As my wife is still working full time I am gradually taking over cooking duties and much to my surprise enjoying it. My pet peeve right now would be that many recipes assume knowledge that I don't have. For instance how fine is chopped, when is a frying pan a sauce pan and etc. etc.I am gradually learning these things but many of you have had a lifetime if learning such things so please keep guys like me in mind when you publish your recipes
