5.0 out of 5 stars Hearty Food with Healthy Ingredients, November 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Slavic Specialties (Spiral-bound)
NEW in our series of Stocking Stuffer cookbooks, in the popular recipe-card file size format, Slavic Specialties collects recipes from Polish, Slovak, Slovenian, Czech, Croatian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Bohemian, Bosnian, Russian, Polish, Serbian and Ukrainian Americans. The cultures of these groups have a complex history of intertwining language, national identity, social customs and beliefs. And, while cuisines and recipes differ from culture to culture, and even, as we know, from person to person within a family, the similarities between them merit their commingling in this little book.

Slavic food is hearty food with healthy ingredients, featuring noodles, cooked vegetables, potatoes, meat, sauerkraut, and fruit. Slavic "specialties" include kolaches, or fruit-filled sweet buns; blini , pancakes, and zucchini blini; pierogi, meat-and-vegetable-filled dough pockets; borscht, beet soup; and paprikash, beef stew.

These recipes were contributed by Slavic organizations including the Slovenian Women's Union of America, the Ladies' Pennsylvania Slovak Catholic Union, and the American Mutual Life Association, as well as individuals wishing to preserve the recipes of their parents and grandparents.

The cookbook include proverbs and quotations from Penfield's Polish Proverbs and Czech Proverbs, and from other sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slavic comfort food, February 11, 2009
This review is from: Slavic Specialties (Spiral-bound)
I bought this book because it has a recipe for Bobalky in it, which is something I've been looking for ever since my dad first told me about how my great-grandmother used to make it. When I got this book, I was very happy to see the extensive recipe for Pierogi, as well, with the multiple filling options. I'm looking forward to making many of these recipes with my dad.
