208 pages. Index. Illustrated by Henry J. Stahluhut. Clean straight copy, the dust jacket is not price-clipped but has shallow chips along the edges.

Frolov’s articles were assembled and reprinted into a book format in 1947. Post WWII, and at the beginning of the Cold War, the book was met with lukewarm interest by the critics. Katish offers deliciously simple Russian country cooking enveloped in a warm and cheering narrative, tender as the crust of Katish's own piroshky. It includes Katish's Cheesecake, one of the most beloved recipes ever published in Gourmet magazine. Katish’s Notebook (pp 195-205) hold a collection of recipes, but the majority are dispersed within the narrative easily found using the index. Of course, the book includes Gourmet magazines legendary, Katish’s Cheesecake. Here are a few more: Pelmney (meat-filled dumplings); Chicken a la Kieve; Cinnamon Buns; Beef Stroganoff.…
