RUSSIANFOOD is delicious, wholesome and easily prepared from generally available ingredients.
JEAN REDWOOD's cookery book contains a wide selection of recipes in easy-to-use presentation, measured in grams and ounces.
The book is enjoyable to read as well as to cook from: Russian literature provides much 'food for thought' and there is a complete 'food story' by Chekhov in the author's own translation.
The geographical and historical background to cookery in different republics of the Soviet Union is fully explained in all its splendid diversity.
RUSSIAN FOOD is based on Jean Redwood's extensive first-hand knowledge of the (former) USSR and the Russian language.
