Mamushka: Recipes from Ukraine and Eastern Europe by Olia Hercules

5.0

I learnt a lot of interesting things about the history and development of Eastern European cuisine from reading this book, as well as a few Russian words. I feel like I understand why certain foods became staples due to a history that I don't think feels as relatable and understandable when read in a history book as it can in a cookbook. I've been introduced to a new style of food and cooking, and everything I've made from it has been delicious. It's becoming one of my go to cookbooks, especially as the weather turns ever colder.
