A Taste of Russia: A Cookbook of Russia Hospitality Paperback – October 1, 2013

I bought if for my son who cooks on board a supply ship, in the Gulf of Mexico, with a small complement of Russian Sailors.They thought the recipes he prepared for them from the book was excellent.

this is a great Russian cookbook. The recipes are simple and delicious. Anyone who has lived or visited Russia will recognize most of these wonderful recipes.

This is a good cookbook. It has lots of recipes. You won't find recipes for every meal in this cookbook since it is geared primarily for entertaining.

The most amazing cook book about the Russian food I have ever came across!

Not merely a collection of recipes, a Taste of Russia gives the reader a picture of daily life. And this updated edition highlights the contrast from soviet era to now. It's one of those cookbook you read like a novel. There are no illustrations, but the prose alone does an outstanding job of showing the reader Russian hospitality.Recipes are clear and easy to follow, too. More than sufficient accommodation is made for the North American cook.

My brother is a Chief Cook in a ship and his Captain is Russian. I gave this to him as a present. He said the cook book is really easy to follow and it will definitely make the Capt happy.

He recibido el libro. Llegó a destino según las condiciones establecidas por el distribuidor. Buen servicio. No hubo problemas. Muchas gracias.

I was looking for certain recipes. I did not find them in this book. I have not tried any of the recipes either. The things I wanted to cook were not listed but the book does give a great flavor of Russian cooking/dining.

I do like this book. It provides a lovely cultural context - the author had a Belorussian granny and went on to study Russian literature so the text is peppered with literary food-based references and reflections on how Russian cooking has changed since the author was travelling as a student in Soviet Russia. Most tricky thing will be dealing with imperial/US cup measurements but the recipes look practical and they're not rammed with esoteric ingredients.

A very interesting book.
