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

4.0

A delightful read and very educational. I was a bit disappointed that the frame of 'cooking through the decades' faded away pretty quickly after the first chapter (perhaps incorporating the recipes into their respective chapters rather than grouping them at the end would have helped address this), but the writing is elegant and von Bremzen's family's stories are compelling.
