The book you're holding in your hands is dedicated to Russian food, but it's not a collection of recipes, although there are some here. It explores the development of the "Russian menu" and its distinctive features; the utensils our ancestors used for meals and in their "cookrooms"; the development of Russian fast food; and the origins of our first restaurants. We'll recall proverbs, idioms, and superstitions related to food, discuss the history of Russian cookbooks, and clarify the origins of many edible names.

In the second part, you'll find recipes for Russian dishes that have fallen out of use but are found in historical literature and fiction.
