Nothing beets borscht: Jane's Russian cookbook

Nothing beets borscht: Jane's Russian cookbook by Blanksteen, Jane. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780689105913.

When Jane Blanksteen traveled to Russia, it was a postlude to her fascination with and study of the culture of the USSR, and her exploration of an immersion in the Russian cuisine. A very personal compilation, the recipes are arranged in Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner menus. Each menu is preceded by notes 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.
