4.0 out of 5 stars Surprising number of recipes for its size., February 20, 2002

This review is from: Russian Cooking (Cookery Classics) (Hardcover)
Russian Cooking contains a surprising diversity of Russian recipes for such a small book.

A reprint of a book originally published in the 1960's, the commentary makes for interesting reading from a historic perspective. Take, for example, Mrs Howe's observations on the Soviet cooking environment, or her remarks on the use of sour cream (that reveal perhaps a hint of a typically anglo-saxon suspicion of soured dairy products that has since, largely, disappeared).

Typographical errors make some of the recipes a little difficult to follow. Otherwise, a welcome addition to any collection on Russian food.
