The Kingdom of Rye

Angebote / Angebote:

The Kingdom of Rye is a fascinating read filled with culinary history from someone who has spent a lifetime immersed in Russian culture. I emerged from the book not only understanding the history of Russian tsars and serfs but also could almost taste Darra Goldstein's descriptions of such staples as kvass, kasha, and caviar. Bravo!"—Joan Nathan, author of King Solomon's Table: A Culinary Exploration of Jewish Cooking from around the World "Once again, Darra Goldstein has given the world an extraordinary gift in The Kingdom of Rye. Her clear writing, scholarly background, and avid interest in the foodways of Russia make this a book that merits reading every single word. It's a fascinating portrait of a country through time. Thank you, Darra, for this stunning brief history."—Deborah Madison, author of An Onion in My Pocket: My Life with Vegetables "Darra Goldstein's glimpse into the world of Russian cuisine is colorful, fascinating, and eye opening. The Kingdom of Rye gives humanity and dimension to a culture that, all too often, is portrayed exclusively through the lens of politics. This book is a must-read for anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of Russia."—Molly Yeh, Food Network host and author of Molly on the Range: Recipes and Stories from an Unlikely Life on a Farm
