At the Table with Oblomov. The Cuisine of the Russian Empire
14.99 €
The second half of the 19th century was in many ways a turning point for Russia. The nobility stood guard over the traditions of old Russian and high French cuisine. Merchant families were actively "breaking through" into the high society, mastering its menu and striving to outdo the nobility in luxury and motoring. Factory and factory workers needed simple, cheap and at the same time nourishing food. More and more people of different estates traveled abroad, bringing from there culinary novelties. Candy factories opened, new expensive restaurants, tea houses, coffee houses and cheap kuhmisterskie... The hero of our book Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, like no one else, knows how to appreciate simple pleasures - a soft sofa, a restful sleep, a comfortable robe and of course - delicious food. We learn what was served at home and ceremonial breakfasts, everyday and ceremonial lunches, what was eaten at provincial feasts and what was kept in the cellar of the "housekeeping fairy" Agafya Matveyevna.... In the book you will find a huge number of unique recipes for dishes that were served at that time.
