I bought this book because I have been to Russia and know that the cuisine is so much more than blini and borsch. It is a well layed out, nicely planned cookery book, with lovely photos of the various steps and overall dish.
The recipes are titled in the English translation and the Russian (in phonetic English), with a blurb about the provenence of the recipe, and maybe a serving suggestion. There are different sections, as you would expect from an all-round cookery book. Although given the extravegance and prolific number of cakes, gateux and other baked goods in Russia, I am slightly dissapointed in the dessert section.
Have the peljmeni (little beef dumplings) with a dollop of mayonaise, just like the Russians do!

I bought this book as present for my Australian friends. I thought that it would be impossible to find book with real Russian recipes, but fortunately I was mistaken. It really contains true recipes. It has nice pictures and Russian names.
All the benefits were listed by the previous reviewer. I only stress the fact that if you want to get book with authentic Russian recipes - choose this one!

Wonderful cook book1

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this cook book. I was born in the former Soviet Union and was looking for a good Russian cook book. This one is fantastic. Lovely photos, just the right amount of history in the beginning, and the recipe's are very true to the traditional food that is cooked in Russia. My mother and grandmother have been cooking Russian food all their lives, so when I ask for certain recipe's, they can not always give me exact quantities, especially since they are used to cooking for really big families. When I lived at home I would cook with my mom and she would tell me a pinch of this and a dash of that, however when i got married I felt a little lost, and wanted to find a cookbook that has many of our classic Russian Recipe's in it. I am very happy with this cookbook.. Also another good book that has recipe's that are not only Russian but from all over the Soviet Union (including Ukraine where i was born) is "Please To the Table".. This book has everything you may want to know about Slavic cooking...the only draw back is that there are no pictures like this one has.

Yummy Russian Comfort Foods

This book is a joy to use with colored photos and clearly written recipes for traditional Russian home cooking. The selection is wide including several dishes from the Georgian Republic. Titles of the recipes are written with the English name and with the Russian name. This is an excellent book for anyone interested in learning basic Russian cooking. I recommend trying the piroshki (small meat filled pies) and the Siberian Pelemeni (meat filled ravioli).

If you are new to Russian cooking, then this book is it. It will give you pictures to see the end product, which is very helpful. The Beef stroganov recipe is to die for! Also great historical and cultural information in the front of the book. You will not be disappointed.
