Lorenz Books Classic Recipes of Russia

It’s a pretty small book but has some great recipes inside. My husband recognize some of the recipes immediately. Some I’ve made before getting the book so there was already some history with half the book. The presentation of some of the dishes in this book are just lovely. Can’t wait to make my husband feel at home with some of these dishes!!

First lets understand that most Russian food is not the food of Tsars,it is the food of people living north of the 51st latitude (so its cold - a lot), the growing seasons are short and winters long - so recipes have to make filling meals. This book provides 25 delicious dishes that will take you into the heart of Russian food, with no difficult to find ingredients. Blinis, pelmeni, fish, borscht to beef stroganoff and chicken kiev. Delightful, easy instructions and delicious outcomes.

Buy with caution, this book should have been revalued for it's confusing recipes. Hard to follow and frankly it's not a serious cook book. It's something you'd give to a friend as a novelty.

Wonderful recipe book for Russian recipes

Not what I expected,very small book, I suppose the clue is in the "25 recipes" which I should have picked up on.
