With this new addition travelers going to Belarus or those who are interested in Belarus will learn about traditional Belarusian cuisine. The new section highlights special features of Belarusian cuisine as well as a collection of free recipes with mouthwatering pictures including: Belarusian salads and soups, famous Belarusian draniki and other potato dishes as well as some delicious meat dishes and deserts.

Gene and Galina Emmer, an American and Belarusian couple are the authors of Travel Europe. Talking about this new addition on Belarusian food they said that without it the Belarus Travel Guide would not be complete: “National cuisine reflects the history, customs and traditions of the people ", said Gene "I enjoy Belarusian food, especially the creativity of it."

Galina said: "It is often believed that due to the lack of national identity Belarus has lost its traditions including its national cuisine. But it is completely untrue. As is the case of many European countries, Belarus was influenced by its neighbors and its history. However many traditional dishes remain. Any Belarusian family will treat you to a plate of delicious traditional national Belarusian dish of draniki with machanka."
