Product Description
The fresh ingredients and unfamiliar flavour combinations of Eastern Europe are really capturing the imaginations of shops and restaurants in the West, as borders open up and Europe is extended. Alongside delicious recipes from Bulgarian cook and food writer Silvena Rowe, "Feasts" features stunning location photography of the grand cafes and hotels, street markets, home kitchens, farms and patisseries of countries from Georgia to Hungary to Poland. 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.

Delicious Surprise!!!,
By Debora Lobina "Debora Lobina" (UK,London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feasts: Food for Sharing from Central and Eastern Europe [UK version of the US title The Eastern and Central European Kitchen: Contemporary & Classic Recipes] (Hardcover)
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. Debora Lobina

This review is from: Feasts: Food for Sharing from Central and Eastern Europe [UK version of the US title The Eastern and Central European Kitchen: Contemporary & Classic Recipes] (Hardcover)
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
