Publishers Text
Alongside the other splendors of Tsarist Russia--its art, architecture, and literature, sits its cuisine, a marvelous, little known part of Russian heritage. Based on the favorite family recipes passed down through generations, collected by the author from the private collections of the old Russian émigré community of New York City, The Complete Russian Cookbook represents the restoration of an entire culinary heritage, which previously existed only in the memories of the cooks themselves, or in the form of yellowing scraps of paper.Most Americans have experienced only a few classic Russian dishes: Chicken Kiev, Beef Stroganoff, Borscht, and a few others. The Complete Russian Cookbook brings together the recipes for the best of these classic dishes, along with hundreds of recipes for the sumptuous meals that have delighted generations, each tested by both Russian and American cooks and adapted for the modern kitchen. Over 360 recipes are included, covering everything from hors d'oeuvres to main dishes to desserts and beverages. Potato Pirozhki with Mushroom Filling, Carp á la Russe, and Almond Cake with Apricot Wine Filling are just a few of the delicious authentic recipes to be found here, accompanied by useful introductions that provide a history of Russian cuisine.
