At the Table with Gogol. Favorite Dishes of the Great Writer, Celebrated in His Immortal Works

Few people know that Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol loved to eat well. His literary creations are full of descriptions of meals and feasts and even provide recipes for dishes from Russian, Ukrainian, and European cuisine. Food and its enjoyment occupy a... significant place in many of his works, and it is described so appetizingly that, while reading, one begins to envy the diners…
Gogol's character was complex: a sharp satirist often fell into apathy and melancholy, but at his best, he was a gourmet and hospitable host. This book will tell about Gogol's favorite dishes, how they help to understand his creativity and Russia of the 19th century as seen through his eyes.
Some dishes that Gogol describes in his works are little known to contemporaries or completely forgotten. Today, the author of the book corrects this oversight and provides a vast number of unique recipes for dishes that were served at that time.
