Reviews
"The Food and Cooking of Russia draws you first to read its history of the cuisine and its author's descriptions of past meals. . . . Above all it tempts you to try out its mass of recipes."-Daily Telegraph
"The first really good book on this fascinating subject. I read it from cover to cover as one would a novel."-Observer
