Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking: A Memoir of Food and Longing by Anya von Bremzen
3.0
I enjoyed the parts of the book where Von Bremzen talks about her life, but I found the history parts to be a bit dry and difficult to trudge through.
Plus, I didn't entirely buy the whole food premise of the book. It seemed forced into the narrative - probably because she doesn't really talk much in this book about how food writing became her career. What felt most natural was when the author talked about her life in the Soviet Union and how she emigrated to America.
