This large format book filled with great photographs will bring you to five countries - Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan (but also to some places in between).
The authors (mainly Europeans, but the Russian chapter is written in a team with the Russian Alexey Kozlachkov) are taking us on a journey throughout Russia and its neigboring lands. They talk about their culture as it comes to dining, favorite foods and recipes. Although you will find lots of authentic recipes here, this is a not a cookbook as you may be used to. The book tells just as much about the local traditions, cooking "preferences", favorite foods, "likes & dislikes".
It's a great read for anyone who craves to learn more about that part of the world, and we are not meaning just the food. The photographer, Gregor M. Schmid, captures the beauty of the countries and people he meets like no other. The pictures featuring the meals look delicious, too!
More than any other book you have ever read about Russian food and cooking, this one may really touch your heart...
Some of the recipes that you will find on the book's pages are for Blini, Ukha, Kasha, Kvas, Plov, Khinkali, Sulguni, Vareniki, and more!
