This book is a comprehensive and fascinating collection of recipes that have been gathered from this region, which stretches from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south.
Illustrated throughout with maps and photographs, this guide starts with an introduction giving the background and history of Polish, Russian and Ukrainian cooking, and explores the similarities and differences of their cuisines.
Many of the dishes have remained unchanged for centuries and are rooted in peasant tradition, complementing the tartness of pickles, sauerkraut and sourdough rye bread with mushrooms, onion, sausage and herring.
