A great find on Russian Cuisine

This book has scaled down versions of the recipes from the Russian Tea Room. The book is filled with anecdotes, and recipes, and may bring back memories of The Russian Tea Room. Care was taken by Faith Stewart-Gorden to assure that the recipes were just large recipes that were scaled back, rather they were recipes that were adjusted for cooking times, seasoning, and other changes to get version close to the restaurant. This book provides you with a good primer on Russian food. Recipes are made with ingredients that can be found at your grocery store. Most recipes are made with inexpensive ingredients. Some recipes to contain caviar, and fish that is more expensive, but overall the recipes do not take much effort in obtaining the ingredients. Also, it should be noted that the recipes are easy to follow. Instructions are not complicated, and even a beginner cook should be able to prepare these recipes successfully. I think this is a great addition to anyone's cooking library if you are looking to make Russian recipes.
