Both processes are still going on and this book is the fascinating by-product. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA very personal compilation, the recipes are ar­ranged in Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner menus. Each menu is preceded by notes (historical, social, geographical) on the dishes therein; and germane quotations from the Russian literary masters accompany many of the recipes. A sec­tion on Soviet holidays in all their festive pag­eantry, religious significance, and culinary splen­dor is followed by a bonus of Russian preserves. And every other category of food is represented in the more than 125 recipes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiss Blanksteen makes no claim for encyclopedic coverage of all the food of all the Russias, only very enthusiastically for the workability and delectability of the dishes selected, each of which has been prepared, tested, and eaten -- some many times over. Try them and you'll agree with Jane that though Nothing Beets Borscht, any number of Russian soups, as well as salads, meat or vegetable dishes, breads, cakes, fruit concoctions or drinks come in a close second. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eJacket has a tear at the top edge and some minor shelf wear.
