Cabbage and Caviar: A History of Food in Russia: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Cabbage and Caviar: A History of Food in Russia" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

When people think of Russian food they generally think either of opulent luxury, signified above all by caviar, or of poverty and hunger of cabbage and potatoes and porridge. Both of these visions have a basis in reality, but both of them are incomplete. The history of food and drink in Russia includes hunger and it includes plenty, it includes scarcity and, for some, at least, abundance. It includes dishes that came out of the northern, forested regions and ones that incorporate foods from the wider Russian Empire and later from the Soviet Union. Cabbage and Caviar places Russian food and drink in the context of Russian history, and shows off the incredible (and largely unknown) variety of Russian food.

A NOTE ON TRANSLITERATION AND TRANSLATION

Cabbage and Caviar A History of Food in Russia - image 5

Transliterations from Cyrillic in the text use a simplified version of the Library of Congress system, omitting hard and soft signs and diacritics. Hard and soft signs are included in transliterations in the References and Bibliography. Some Russian words and names have come regularly into use in English with spellings that do not follow these rules (blini, borscht, rouble, soviet, Mikoyan, Yeltsin) or by using English equivalents (Peter the Great instead of Petr the Great); I use the familiar English versions. All translations from Russian and French are my own unless otherwise noted. Quotations from English-language sources retain original spellings and punctuation.
