ABOUT "BEYOND THE NORTH WIND": "BEYOND THE NORTH WIND" explores the true heart of Russian food, a cuisine that celebrates whole grains, preserved and fermented foods, and straightforward but robust flavors. Recipes for a dazzling array of pickles and preserves, infused vodkas, homemade dairy products such as farmers cheese and cultured butter, puff pastry hand pies stuffed with mushrooms and fish, and seasonal vegetable soups showcase Russian foods that are organic and honest—many of them old dishes that feel new again in their elegant minimalism. This home-style cookbook with a strong sense of place and evocative storytelling brings to life a rarely seen portrait of Russia, its people, and its palate—with recipes, gorgeous photography, and essays on the little-known culinary history of this fascinating and wild part of the world. Enjoy 100 honest and timeless recipes such as Dumplings with Mushrooms and Buckwheat, Roasted Radishes with Garlic & Caraway, Pickled Smelt, Sea Buckthorn Tonic and Gooseberry Mousse.
