Pushkin's life, however short it was and however tragically it ended, has become for us the key to the entire nineteenth century. Through the prism of the biography of the legendary Russian poet we can study many problems that worried his contemporaries. But Elena Pervushina suddenly turned not to the theme of Alexander Sergeyevich's creativity, not to the internal politics of the Russian Empire, not to the issues of book publishing... The author decided to reveal to the readers the theme "Pushkin and the kitchen of the XIX century", and through it we can get to know the poet and the time in which he lived. In the XIX century, the noble cuisine was characterized by exceptional diversity. It was significantly influenced by fashion and politics. In the capital's restaurants reigned high French cuisine, and in road inns had to snack on cold veal and consider it a blessing if you were poured hot soup ... Pushkin has never been abroad, but he had a lot of traveling in Russia. This fascinating book will tell you about what delicacies he was treated with, which dishes he liked and which he did not, which he sang in poems and which he ridiculed in letters and epigrams. In it you will find a huge number of unique recipes for dishes that were served in Pushkin's time.
