Recipes of the North. The Taste of Real Life

Each recipe – be it rabbit liver pâté, salted White Sea herring, venison steak, or blueberry cheesecake – is a journey. A journey to the north of Russia, to a yard where snow crunches underfoot, to a kitchen where a frying pan crackles, and back to one's own childhood, where taste is the strongest memory.

The author, Roman Zaozersky, shares vivid stories of his childhood. Through memories of his grandfather, who raised rabbits, and his grandmother, who cooked liver in a cast-iron skillet, he reveals the soul of unique Pomor cuisine. In it lies a whole philosophy of life by the White Sea, where flavor is inherited along with the cold wind, salty breeze, and warmth from the stove. «Recipes for When It's Cold: Dishes of the Northern Peoples» – this is the flavor memory of an entire region, captured in 38 recipes. In this book, you will find 5 sections dedicated to various dishes – those beloved from childhood, meat, fish, vegetable dishes, and desserts.
