Have you wondered why some meals just taste better? David Moscow goes on a food adventure in the new show From Scratch and uncovers the secret to delicious food.

Sometimes the most memorable meals have a story behind them. David Moscow discovers the stories behind the food can and do create the most delicious dish. In the new television series, From Scratch , this culinary adventure can encourage foodies to explore the beauty of making food from scratch.

While the home kitchen holds a bounty of deliciousness, sometimes convenience overtakes cooking from scratch. When a cook takes the time to use quality ingredients, appreciate the craftsmanship and uncover the passion behind the ingredients, that meal can become more than just sustenance. It can become a gift.

In the new FYI series , From Scratch , David Moscow goes on a culinary journey. As he travels the world, David seeks to recreate a chef’s recipe. But, this show is more than just cooking. David explores the stories behind each of those ingredients. Through this culinary adventure, people see that food is intertwined with a country’s history and culture.

Many people might know David Moscow from his feature film debut in Big . Over the years he has numerous film, television and stage credits. Additionally he co-developed and co-produced the first stage production of In the Heights and has produced several films. In this new FYI show, he puts himself into the food world.

In the first ten episodes of From Scratch , David dives into a culinary world that many foodies would dream to discover. Even though more people are appreciating farm to table cuisine, David takes that approach to the source. From milking a cow to make butter to foraging for the perfect ingredient for a dish, the show proves that ingredients bring the story of food to the table.

David Moscow

Recently, David Moscow graciously answered some questions about his new show, From Scratch . While some people may not have the opportunity to go on this extraordinary culinary adventure, the lessons learned from his experience can be brought to any home cook’s table.

Cristine Struble: Many Americans are focused on convenient food (or delivery, grab & go), how can your show get people to discover the deeper connection that food can bring a person?

David Moscow: While sourcing ingredients is definitely hard and hard to find time for in our demanding days/schedules, it also can be quite fun and sometimes even exciting. These thrills are present all across the season. But they also sit right up alongside the simple pleasures of wandering in the woods looking for mushrooms or fishing on a river under a midnight sun. The hope is that our show will shake that love of nature and the joy that come with work particularly when it ends in a pizza pie.

CS: There is a growing movement to know your farmer or know where food comes from – do you think that people are understanding that where food comes from impacts the how food tastes?

DM: There are a couple oppositional things happening at once. At the same time that a few people are able to take the time and money to know where our food is coming from, the majority are becoming even more removed through delivery apps and the growth of fast food. Thoughtless eating has never been such a problem. BUT we are only a generation or two away from a healthy interaction with the food we eat. And I do think that all people still pine for making fresh food and eating it with friends around – something that is innately part of being human.

CS: As you traveled the world, did you find that food traditions are stronger in some countries?

DM: I found that there was a direct relationship with free time, a social safety net and strong food traditions. Places like Iceland, Sardinia and Finland have little fast food and place great importance in the people who harvest and source the meals they eat. Some of the other places are fighting to keep their traditions alive in the face of the cheap fast food everywhere in modern life.

CS: While many people think that global cuisines are very different, there are often some underlying similarities. What similarities surprised you the most?

DM: When building the episodes for the show, we found that there aren’t that many major ingredients across the planet. A huge chunk of what we eat are grass, seeds, fish and few other animals. And we eat these things with the help of fire or fermentation. Cooking meat on a grill and making alcohol out of fermenting food is everywhere.

CS: This show seems to encourage people to better understand the food and culture connection. What’s one easy way to start that type of food conversation on the typical family home?

DM: I think apple picking (or any kind of fruit picking) as a family outing is an amazing starting point. It gets you out in the fresh air and gets your blood flowing – and I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t like a crisp apple pulled from a tree. During the shoot I sat my son down in a strawberry patch to graze before he could walk. The act of picking and eating with his own hands has had a lasting effect. Strawberry was one of his first words and still to today is his favorite fruit to eat.

CS: You travel the world in this series. Which location was your favorite? Which meal was your favorite?

DM: Each one of the places I went was a spot I had dreamed of going and each has a special place in my heart. How can I compare going on a safari in South Africa vs taking a boat off the Amalfi coast. I would say the same with the food. I had the best pizza on the planet and the best tacos. I had incredible Icelandic seafood and Finnish lake fish. They each stand alone.

If you would like to follow along with David Moscow’s culinary adventure, From Scratch airs on FYI and can be streamed online. New episodes air on Sundays at 6 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. CT.

10 apps to survive your Moscow trip

safari food tent cards

1. AviaSales and Kayak

Kayak – Free/  iOS /  Android / *****

AviaSales  - Free/  iOS /  Android / ****

You can’t have a trip without actually planning it, buying a ticket and finding a place to stay, right? These two apps help you do just that.

Avia Sales is in Russian. But the interface is very intuitive and if you do need to purchase domestic flight (let’s say you are heading to Irkutsk , near the lake Baikal ) this app searches for the best deals on Russian travel websites and allows you to book and buy a ticket using your credit card.

Kayak is an app foreign travelers are familiar with and an alternative to AviaSales. Kayak includes flight and hotel search and booking, Flight tracker and My Trips, which allow you to store all the information about your trip in one place.  However I don’t guarantee you will find the best deal using this app.

2. Flight Update and Aeroflot

Flight Update - $4.99 / iOS/ *****

Aeroflot - Free/ iOS /  Android / ***

This app allows you to store all your itineraries, track flight status and updates and share info via email. There are some free alternatives that have similar functionality but I found this one to be the most accurate.

3. Google maps, Yandex maps and Apple maps

Google maps - Free/  iOS  /  Android / ****

Yandex maps - Free/ iOS /  Android / *****

Apple maps - Free/ iOS/ ****  (Installed on iOS devices with purchase)

Each of these three apps has its pros and cons. Google maps is very accurate app which builds routs and gives directions for driving, walking and using public transportation.

Yandex.Maps does the same plus it shows you traffic level rated from 1 to 10 points. If the traffic level is at five right now it is better to use public transportation if you need to be somewhere on time.

Yandex has a great feature, Search button and a menu of nearby Bars, Restaurants, Fast Food, Gas Stations, Drugs Stores, etc. The app gives you basic information about the location plus directions on how to get there.

Apple Maps is great if you are looking for walking directions, or using public transportation directions, or driving directions with turn-by-turn navigation.  When you choose a public transportation option Apple Maps connects you to the routing apps, including Yandex.Maps and Google.Maps.

Walking directions I found to be the best with the Apple app. As for the turn-by-turn navigation, it works fine except Siri has troubles pronouncing Russian street names, not to mention that most street signs in Moscow are written in Cyrillic.

4. Yandex.Metro

Yandex.Metro - Free/ iOS / Android / *****

  A must have app similar to HopStop. It builds the most convenient metro route based either on your current location or the station name you type in. The only disappointment is a Cyrillic – written station names.

5. Yandex.Taxi, Get.Taxi and Wheely

Yandex.Taxi - Free/  iOS  /  Android / ****

Get.Taxi - Free/  iOS  /  Android / ****

Wheely – Free/  iOS  /  Android / *****

Yandex.Taxi and Get.Taxi are two very similar apps that allow you to order a taxi based on your current location or address. You can use the option “Get taxi now” or indicate a specific time. You can choose the best tariffs (economy, comfort or business) and even mark that you’d rather get a ride with a non – smoking driver.

Depending on a taxi company that picks up your order, you can pay cash or using a Visa/ Master card.

Wheely is the app for a Business traveler. It promises “a private driver” type of service and I can assure you Wheely delivers just that. The driver will arrive in a short amount of time on a business class type of car. 

You can make a reservation for later. Most drivers are non-smokers, they wear business suits, cars are clean and nice. You connect your credit card to the app, and it will be charged immediately after the trip. You get a receipt by email.

6. iTranslate

iTranslate - Free/ iOS/ Android / ***

I did not find any Russian dictionary apps I would be fully satisfied with. This one is convenient; it translates words and phrases and reads them for you. It gets tricky if you need to translate some complex sentences. The app has “Read phonetically” option available with 3 month ($1.99) and a year – long ($4.99) subscription. The app does not work offline, which is pretty inconvenient.

7. City Guides: Triposo, In your pocket and Time Out Moscow

Triposo (56.1 Mb)-  Free/  iOS  /  Android / ****

In your pocket  - Free/  iOS  / *****

Time Out Moscow -  Free/  iOS  /  Android / ***

Both of these apps have similar information and functionality – basic useful information on getting around, offline maps and schedules, weather, currency, business directory, concerts and theater, hotels and restaurants, sightseeing, shopping, embassies.

“In your pocket” app has a “Search Venues” feature which I recommend. When you type in your location, the app gives you the list of what’s on in Moscow tonight. “Expat life in Moscow” chapter is also neat if you plan to stay in Russia longer.

“Time Out Moscow” app will automatically pick up your default language for the interface, but the content is in Russian only. The app has options of suggestions based on your location, “Inspire me” feature (a random choice of a activity for the evening), Top  - 10, Favorites. The good thing about this app is it redirects you to the Apple Maps to show where the venue you chose is. It does not allow you to create directions of how to get there. That’s a bad thing.

This app is not nearly as useful as Yelp (which unfortunately does not work in Russia, and Russian copy – cats I would not recommend yet), it does not provide you with the real customer reviews but it shows you location photos. Which is why it’s worth having it on your phone anyway.

8. Instagram and Flickr  

Instagram - Free/  iOS / Android /*****

Flickr - Free/ iOS / Android /*****

Moscow is so truly beautiful. You would want to share the pics you’ve taken.  Here comes handy the famed Instagram app or less famed but yet beautiful and convenient Flickr app.

9. Yakitoria app - Food delivery service

Якитория – Free/ iOS / Android /*****

Tired? Not in the mood to go out for dinner? Tell me about that. I found an app with food delivery service.  The app is in Russian only however the interface is very intuitive. A choice of Japanese and European menus, pizza, kids menu, deserts and drinks are available to order.

Delivery is free and you get a 10% discount on your order. You can either pay cash upon delivery or you can connect your card to the app and you will be charged in full amount as soon as the order is places. The minimum price of order for delivery is 790 rubles ($25).

10. RBTH for iPad RBTH for iPad - Free /  iOS / *****

Available on iPad only, this app is the best English – language app for what's going on in Russia.

Photo and video galleries might give you an idea of what places you want to visit and what memories you want to bring back home from your trip. Interactive Map of Russia will inspire you to come back and explore the rest of the country.

Which are your favorite apps you found to be useful while travel to Russia?
