"Whoever does not attach due importance to nutrition cannot be considered a truly intelligent person," said the genius of Russian literature A.P. Chekhov. He was a great storyteller and a connoisseur of delicious food. The writer's favorite dish was crucian carp in sour cream: "Of all the dumb fish, the best is fried crucian carp..." Anton Pavlovich's hospitality reached the point of passion. There were always many people and treats at his dinner table, and he described the food in his works with special trepidation: "... they served pigeon sauce, something from offal, fried pig, duck, partridges, cauliflower, dumplings, cottage cheese with milk, jelly and, finally, pancakes with jam." Some lines are impossible to read without choking on saliva: "The kulebyaka should be appetizing, shameless, in all its nakedness, so that there is temptation. ‹…› You start eating it, and there is butter like tears, the filling is rich, juicy, with eggs, with giblets, with onions...” And the writer also loved pancakes: “How are pancakes baked? It is unknown... Only the distant future will know about this...” V. Pokhlebkin noted that Chekhov made the culinary entourage an integral part of his plays, and he succeeded. Buy this interesting book, and you will enjoy reading and a wonderful selection of recipes from that time.
