My story is not of a traveler, but of a local resident, and I will tell not only about those places of Crimea that are booming far beyond its borders, but about those places that tourists rarely visit, but that is where the soul of Crimea, the best place in the world, is located!
Today a few words about my native heart of Crimea. My native Belogorsky and Nizhegorsky districts are located almost in the center of our peninsula, we don’t have beaches, but we do have the unreal, beautiful White Rock.
Anyone who has seen it once will not forget. In spring, our places are fields shimmering with all shades of green without end and edge and blooming gardens. In summer it's fragrant meadows in bloom, yellow, red, purple and sweet, the best cherries in Crimea. In autumn these are the fragrant, most delicious apples in the world, ruby and golden leaves of trees. And winter is a time of winds and sleepy valleys, promising new spring new harvest! Our region is famous for its gardens and flower beds.

We have very hardworking people, thanks to whom millions of tourists in Crimea every season, and many residents of Russia can feast on Crimean berries and fruits! They say that this year Crimean cherries and sweet cherries in season in Moscow were the most delicious and were in great demand. So, dear Muscovites, perhaps you have tried the cherries grown in my homeland.
Another fabulous gift from our fields is aromatic herbs. You can buy sage, thyme, rosemary in the store, or you can grow it yourself, or collect it in the meadows in your neighborhood. And collect magical fragrant lavender from an abandoned field. It is here that you can make your dream come true and see the field blooming lavender! We really hope that the fields will not remain abandoned for long, and once again Crimean lavender will thunder throughout the world!

1. The whole duck does not have to be used. On the contrary, it is rational to cut up the bird carcass, leaving the tender fillet for baking, and put the legs and wings in borscht. In addition, for the broth it is enough to determine the duck carcass from scraps of flesh, neck, heart or stomach. If the duck is not particularly fatty, then also add the skin to the broth. If there is a lot of fat, like mine, then separate it from the carcass in places where it accumulates when cutting the duck.
Place the prepared duck pieces into a cooking pan and add the peeled onion, bay leaf and peppercorns.
2. Pour over the meat drinking water and put it on the stove to cook. After boiling, reduce the temperature to low and continue cooking the broth for about 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, peel the beets and carrots and grate them on a coarse grater. Place the frying pan on the stove, pour in vegetable oil and heat. Place the carrots and beets into the frying pan, pour in vinegar, several ladles of the broth in which the duck is cooked and simmer covered over low heat for 20 minutes.
4. Stir the beets several times and add broth if necessary.
5. By this time you will have the broth ready, so add peeled potatoes and cut into medium pieces into it.
6. Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes and add the stewed beets and carrots to the pan.
7. Next add shredded white cabbage.
8. Add tomato paste to the pan. Season the borscht with salt and ground pepper.
9. Boil the borscht for another 7-10 minutes and remove the boiled onion from the pan. She gave her taste, aroma and benefits to the dish. Then add finely chopped herbs, which can be used fresh or frozen. Boil the borscht for 5 minutes and remove it from the stove. Wrap up warm blanket and leave to infuse for 20-30 minutes. Serve it at the table with garlic dumplings, black bread with mustard, lard and garlic.

I usually use meat bones from which I cut meat for main courses, back, neck and offal. This amount is enough for good borscht.

Prepare vegetables for roasting. Beets, carrots, onions and bell pepper cut into thin strips.
Place the vegetables in a frying pan with heated oil. Fry until half cooked, then pour in tomato juice or tomato paste diluted with water. Simmer until done.
