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

5.0

This book was recommended by an online friend whose opinion I trust. I cannot imagine that I would have ever picked this book on my own.

I'm so glad that I chose this! USSR history is not the most enjoyable of topics, but by telling the family story through the food, and lack thereof, the author gives us a personal view of the sweeping heartache of history and the resolve of individuals to survive.
