Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking: A Memoir of Food and Longing by Anya von Bremzen
3.0
Read my full thoughts over at Read.Write.Repeat.
I enjoyed Van Bremzen's story more than I expected. I appreciate having a more complete view of Soviet history now, particularly from someone whose family experienced it first hand. Von Bremzen is a good writer and makes even the heavy historical sections enjoyable.
The only downside? I am still convinced that Russian food is not for me.
