This book is 50% Russian/Soviet history, 49% personal family history and 1% food. Not the ratio I signed up for.
What better way to tell the story of Soviet life for the past one hundred years than through the food of the time? Anya Von Bremzen brilliantly intermingles stories of her family with food stories and recipes to create this excellent book.Cautionary note: This is just my very-humble opinion) I didn't see a single recipe, unfortunately, that I wanted to try or even copy down. Lots of food that was as bleak as the gray Soviet lives.
