From Russia with a Toast: a family cookbook with toasts, traditions
and superstitions presents a unique and delicious view into the
cuisine of Russia from the perspective of a Russian family that
immigrated to the US in the early 1980s. It includes classic
recipes such as Borshch and unusual Zakuski (starters) such as
Herring in a Fur Coat. The book contains many wise and
inspirational toasts since Russians find any excuse to celebrate
life by sitting around a table laden with food - eating, drinking,
talking and laughing. They often laugh at themselves and the toasts
capture this spirit of joy. The book also includes a sampling of
deeply rooted Russian traditions and superstitions. Traditions such
as the bread and salt custom, a tea ceremony and banya (Russian
sauna) visits in the winter time provide a unique view into a
fascinating culture.
