'Some cookbooks take you on a journey that is as poetic as it is
geographical and culinary, and Salt & Time is just such a
one...enthusiastic, often playful, and full of encouragement to
cook dishes that are invitingly unfamiliar.' - Nigella Lawson 'If
anyone had to write a Russian cookbook now, it would have to be
her, and her book will end up being a classic' - Olia Hercules,
author of Mamushka and Kaukasis 'One flick through this
book...shows the region's cuisine take form in dazzling vibrancy' -
Foodism Salt & Time will transform perceptions of the food of
the former Soviet Union, and especially Siberia - the crossroads of
Eastern European and Central Asian cuisine - with 100 inviting
recipes adapted for modern tastes and Western kitchens, and
evocative storytelling to explain and entice. Why not try the
restorative Solyanka fish soup (a famous Russian hangover cure),
savour the fragrant Chicken with prunes or treat yourself to some
Napoleon cake. 'Often we need distance and time, both to see things
better and to feel closer to them. This is certainly true of the
food of my home country, Russia - or Siberia, to be exact. When I
think of Siberia, I hear the sound of fresh snow crunching beneath
my feet. Today, whenever I crush sea salt flakes between my fingers
as I cook, I think of that sound. In this book I feature recipes
that are authentic to Siberia, classic Russian flavour combinations
and my modern interpretations. You will find dishes from the
pre-revolutionary era and the Soviet days, as well as contemporary
approaches - revealing a cuisine that is vibrant, nourishing,
exciting and above all relevant no matter the time or the place.' -

From The Artist to The White Ribbon, from Oscar to Palme
d'Or-winning productions, European filmmaking is more prominent,
world-wide, than ever before. This book identifies the distinctive
character of European cinema, both in films and as a critical
concept, asking: what place does European cinema have in an
increasingly globalized world? Including in-depth analyses of
production and reception contexts, as well as original readings of
key European films from leading experts in the field, it
re-negotiates traditional categories such as auteurism, art cinema
and national cinemas. As the first publication to explore
'Europeanness' in cinema, this book refocuses and updates
historically significant areas of study in relation to this term.
Leading scholars in European cinema - including Thomas Elsaesser,
Tim Bergfelder, Anne Jackel, Lucy Mazdon and Ginette Vincendeau -
acknowledge the transnational character of European filmmaking
whilst also exploring the oppositions between European and
Hollywood filmmaking, considering the value of the 'European' label
in the circulation of films within and beyond the continent. The
Europeanness of European Cinema makes a lively, timely intervention
in the fields of European and transnational film studies.
