Beyond the North Wind – Cookbook Giveaway
February 11, 2020 by JennyEnter our US giveaway to win a copy of Beyond the North Wind: Russia in Recipes and Lore by Darra Goldstein. Please note the author is touring and her events are on our calendar.
Beyond the North Wind is an intriguing, thoughtful study of Russian cuisine and culture brought to us by Darra Goldstein who has been immersed in the field for nearly fifty years. Politics aside, I have been enamored with Russian culture for some time myself. What sealed the deal was watching Paul Hollywood’s City Bakes show featuring the bakeries of St. Petersburg. A small clip from this episode can be found here.
Normally, one wouldn’t think of Russia as being a world food capital but Darra knocks that untruth out of the water. The narrative, photographs, and recipes in this gorgeous book all work together to inspire the home cook to explore this fascinating food scene.
Of course, seafood, pickled and fermented foods play a fairly large part in everyday cooking in Russia but there is so much more to enjoy. For example, Vatrushki, a cheese-filled bun, Black currant cheesecake, Easter bread, and Dumplings with mushrooms and buckwheat look spectacular.
Beyond the North Wind is a chance to experience Russian culture that is approachable and exciting. Darra provides us a fascinating education in all things Russian and we are the better for soaking up her expertise.
