This book is a fascinating collection of 70 recipes that have been gathered from this region, which stretches from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south. Many of the dishes have remained unchanged for centuries and are rooted in country traditions, mixing the tartness of pickles, sauerkraut and sourdough rye bread with wild mushrooms, onion, sausage and herring. Here are Eastern European soups and starters, meat and poultry, fish, vegetables, and grains, and desserts, cakes and bakes.
