"The Food and Cooking of Russia draws you first to read its history of the cuisine and its author's descriptions of past meals. . . . Above all it tempts you to try out its mass of recipes."―Daily Telegraph Source: Daily Telegraph

"The first really good book on this fascinating subject. I read it from cover to cover as one would a novel."―Observer Source: Observer
