FormatHardcover

Over 200 recipes and 50 photographs: a thousand years of Belarus, one meal at a time.

Part cookbook, part cultural history. Aliaksandr Biely draws on oral tradition, archival sources and rare historical cookbooks, including the remarkable 19th-century Kucharka Litewska, to rebuild the full range of Belarusian cooking across the centuries and across social classes.

Simple peasant dishes sit beside the refined tables of the nobility. Jewish, Tatar, Lithuanian, Polish and Russian influences run through a cuisine that is still distinctly its own: local, resilient and quietly inventive. Many of these recipes appear in English for the first time, and each comes with its historical, cultural and seasonal context.

For cooks who want to understand what they’re cooking, and for readers who want to know a country through its food. A 408-page hardcover that makes a good gift.
