Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking: A Memoir of Food and Longing by Anya von Bremzen

3.0

Interesting at first, but it wasn't quite the food memoir I was expecting from the descriptions. It was nice to have the historical context, but this often overtook the more interesting stuff about food and the author's experiences and family, and I felt like I had to slog through a lot of dull history to get to the (dwindling) good stuff.
