Beskrivelse
". . . the specificity and breadth of this [work] makes it unique. . . . lively reading . . . particularly recommended for academic collections with a strong focus in Russian history." —Library Journal
". . . a remarkable new collection of essays . . . The book reads like a literary hybrid of cookbook, historical treatise, and novella; its subject is, literally, the essence of life itself. . . . Glants and Toomre deserve further praise for the book's consistent, animated directness of style." —The Boston Phoenix
This sparkling collection of thirteen original essays gives surprising insights into what foodways reveal about Russia's history and culture, from Kievan times to post Soviet Russia. Some of the chapters focus on historical topics while others consider images of food in literature and art.
