Product Description
In this stunning book you'll find delicious dishes that are really attracting attention in the West. Stews such as goulash, light and delicate chilled summer soups, game fresh from the forest, fruit sauces for meat and smoked meat and fish dishes are just some of the types of dishes to be found in this book. Flavours such as horseradish, dill, caraway, and paprika, ingredients such as game, smoked fish and vodka, earthy vegetables such as beetroots, pumpkins and cabbages, and exotic fruits such as pomegranates, figs, quinces and plums - these are kind of ingredients that lie at the heart of this delightful book.

This book couldn't have come in a better time; the cuisines of Eastern Europe are so undiscovered and yet full of delicious surprises! Silvena is presenting us with exactly that, there are beetroot and vodka marinated gravadlax, the best recipe for white borscht, fluffy almond and lemon cake with pomegranate syrup, mouth-watering honey-vodka marinated beef fillet with mustard sauce and a large section on home made vodkas!!!
And yes, plenty of beautiful photographs from as far as Georgia!!!
I think this book is here to stay and I love the unpredictable and alluring content, there is some elegant prose too.

How nice to find a cookery book featuring food from the less familiar regions of Europe!
I've enjoyed exploring this book and producing some 'different' meals. I was a little dubious that, as a vegetarian, many of the recipes would be inappropriate, but I have found a lot to cook here. Many of the meat recipes are actually for mince, so Quorn/soya can be easily substituted, and there are many ideas for puddings and vegetables. The book is attractively laid out, with engaging photographs, and interesting snippets of cultural information. The only slight quibble I have is with the quality of the actual paper, which seems poorer than is usual for a cookery book of this quality

I have seen Silvana on television and her exuberant personality encouraged me to purchase this book and was intrigued to see what type of food she includes in her feasts.
The recipes had a different take on many ingredients that I use on a weekly basis ones ABD have never come across before which is unusual if you buy as many cookery books as I do.
I would recommend this book and try the recipes with Gusto

Don't be fooled by the title. This book is neither about the "food from Central and Eastern Europe", nor about "feasts". Actually this book is a good example of modern orientalism. Read more

Disappointing
I can only think that other people rate this book so highly because it panders to a desire to learn about the 'undiscovered' (and, therefore, trendy) cuisines of Eastern... Read more

Superb
A beautifully presented book, every page holds another delight. Can't wait to get into the kitchen and start cooking. Inspirational.

This should be a total treat - Silvena's last book SUPERGRUB made me severely readdress my limited repertoire of dishes and now that Silvena is returning to her own geographical... Read more
