Product Description
The historical, cultural, and culinary lore of the formerSoviet Union are preserved and shared in Memories from a RussianKitchen--From Shtetl to Golden Land, a treasury of recipes andreminiscences by senior emigres from the former Soviet Union.

"Food is more than sustenance," says editor RosalieSogolow. "It is a way to maintain and enjoy our heritage and thecultural diversity all around us. It is a way to come together andjoin the past to the future." When Sogolow invited her English as aSecond Language students to share their favorite recipes, she foundthat they were inspired to share much more than combinations ofingredients. They revealed to her not only a rich culinary traditionbut also their fascinating collective experience, encompassing twoworld wars and the unparalleled transition from shtetl existence andTsarist monarch through communism to modern life in the "Golden Land"-- America.

Thus Memories from a Russian Kitchen is more than acookbook. It is also a collection of remarkable stories about life inthe Soviet Union, including standing in line for bread, struggling toobtain an education, planning family weddings, and muchmore. Beautifully illustrated by contemporary artist Bonnie Stone, thebook reflects the spirit, fortitude, and irrepressible sense of humorof the Russian people despite the overwhelming hardships they faced.

Over one hundred and fifty homestyle recipes fill thisprecious volume, including such classic recipes as gefilte fish,borscht, kugel, and rugelah as well as family favorites like Matvei'sChicken Soup, Grandmother's Napoleon, and Lilichka's Cake. The bookmakes every effort to follow traditional Jewish dietary laws, andkosher substitutes are supplied wherever appropriate. Memories from aRussian Kitchen is for anyone interested in Russian Jewry, Russianhistory, Russian culture, and Russian cuisine. ... Read more

Great book for discovering what our lives might have been!

Not a REAL Ukrainian Cookbook
Being Ukrainian, I got this cookbook with the expectation of seeing some new and interesting recipes I'd never seen before. Instead I found things I've NEVER heard of being called Ukrainian recipes. It was definitely not even worth the shipping cost, let alone the time I spent looking through it. I hope the next Ukrainian cookbook I get is better than this one.

A Charming and Authentic Book!
An American with family members who make regular trips to Ukraine, I have some knowledge of the hearty and delicious cuisine of that wonderful country.I love this book because it presents the cuisine as it actually is in the towns of Ukraine.You are not presented with bastardized, Americanized recipes, but with the authentic cookery you would experience during a visit to a normal, middle class home.

The book starts with a brief foreword on Ukrainian food traditions.In the back there is an 8-page bilingual dictionary of food terms and phrases to use in restaurants.In between, the book is packed with both traditional and contemporary recipes for everything from appetizers to main dishes to sweets and even a substantial section on beverages both alcoholic and not, and recipes for making several different kinds of beer.

I highly recomment this book.

don't waste your time with this one.
Excited to find the best of Ukrainian cuisine won't work with this book unless you're still on a farm in some other decade. Or you like cooking with lard, grinding meat, and of course removing organs and bones from pigs- oh, yum! The author's translations in the back of the book from Englishto Ukrainian for ordering meals are worth a laugh. However, I think he'sserious. Pass this book up. ... Read more
