Product Description
Food and culture are inexorably tied together. The Culinaria series reports on every aspect of the cuisine of a country within the context of the people who created it. One of the most successful series in cook book history, these new editions are updated with the guidance of first-class chefs, and come in a durable flexi-cover format to withstand abuse while spending time in the kitchen.
The teams behind each Culinaria volume spend months in the region they are working on, allowing them time to fully absorb all of the food and drink a country can offer. Profusely illustrated with spectacular photography and abundantly peppered with authentic recipes, these volumes are a treat for both the mind and the palate.
Learn about the history behind the dishes, their cultural significance, and how to prepare them.
Beautiful photographs take you on a tour from the local villages to inside the kitchen where you will find the final product.
Enormous variety of magnificent photographs and tempting recipes together with knowledgeable text that is easy for readers and cooks of all skill levels to understand.

 Small Font Prevents 5 Stars January 6, 2010
Jason Green (Warrenton, Virginia)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
It is always interesting to me when reviews ignores an obvious problem. I think the font was as small as 8 for the picture captions and not much larger for many of the full pages? Maybe 7 in some places. It is tiny. Even the best eyesight has to work to read more than a few words in tiny font that is over a picture and has no contrasting background. Sure, the photography is beautiful and the content is broad is very interesting, but publishers know very well that small font is hard to read. An interesting story does me little good if in 9 or less font. I know it saves paper, but at some point a line is crossed and quality suffers too much.
 what a beautifull book!!! January 16, 2009

I have all the books from Culinaria and just bought this Russia one...
Its a dream, looking in this book, you find yourself back on a dining table somewhere in Russia with all the good foods, all the rich traditions and wonderful culture of that country...
You learn how those people live in the cold winters and warm summers..
This book is more then a book, its a trip in history, traditions and looking at all the beautiful pictures make you hungry and before you know it, you are cooking and eating all those goodies, the recipes are easy to follow.
Excellent Book for Cooks or Just the Curious November 21, 2008

I bought this book from a Russian vendor at a special vendor night at the US Embassy in Moscow, Russia. I was hesitant at first, but as soon as I opened the book I discovered it was filled with many colorful photos, detailed descriptions , recipes, maps, scenery, indexes, etc. (ALL IN ENGLISH!) Every page of the book has color photos. This book would be suitable for a coffee table book, for tourists, or just to learn about the culture, history, and foods in Russia and it's neighboring countries. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.
Great book! January 15, 2010

It is a very good source on the topic. The book has great illustrations, too. I haven't seen anything as good as this book in English.
The nicest cookbook I've seen March 28, 2009
Kristian Sørensen (Stavanger, Norway)
An amazing book with loots of good recipes and nice pictures. Unlike many other cook books the food on the pictures look like real food. The book also has other nice information about Russia and the nearby areas which add value to it. A very nice book with great value. Highly recommended.
