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

3.0

Part personal memoir & family stories, part cultural & political history, and part cook book that emphasizes the multi-layered meaning of food. I appreciated this book so much, the familial relationships, the cultural history that is uncomfortably resonant given current events, and the elaborate dishes that would never cross my own plate.
