Russia's Gastronom is more than just a magazine. The brand includes a culinary school with 6,000 students, a website with 3.5 million page views, a photo archive of 50,000 stock photos, and more.
Russia's first glossy culinary magazine, Gastronom, which was launched in 2001, also happens to be the most treasured by Russians. According to a TNS Gallup Poll, it is No. 1 in its class in terms of readership in the Russian market.
"Gastronom has had a strong readership from the beginning in 2001," says Andrey Zakharin, editor-in-chief.
