Description
Summary:"This fascinating history examines changing attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs about the production and consumption of food in Russia from the late eighteenth century through the mid nineteenth. While Smith looks at food as part of Russian culture, she also connects it with the social, legal, and economic background that formed the Culture, while examining the pre-reform period in significant detail. As a result, Recipes For Russia illuminates the great changes during this historical period, both in the food habits of Russians and in their views of themselves and of their nation."--Page 4 of cover.
