@novussubsole @VladDavidzon And with good reason. Through my work I hope to show the sophistication and innovation of traditional Russian cuisine despite frequent hardship and political misrule. Also, I recommend Boris Fishman's wonderful Savage Feast for insight into Russian-Jewish-Soviet food culture.
