Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This book reveals how Stalin's chef taught Gorbachev's cook to sing while making yeast dough, and why Nina, a cook from the Afghan war, forced herself to think of pleasant things while cooking. It explores who won the contest for the best cafeteria established around Chernobyl after the disaster and why Brezhnev hated caviar. You will read about Stalin's cook and food taster, who fought a desperate battle for his wife's life, and discover the recipe for the first soup that flew into space, as well as the pasta enjoyed by the last tsar, Nicholas. The book also delves into the cuisine of those who had little to eat, highlighting Ukraine, which Stalin subdued through famine, and the siege of Leningrad. Most importantly, it illustrates how food served propaganda in the Soviet Union, with every cutlet fried and served in cafeterias and restaurants across the vast nation. Russia continues this legacy, feeding people propaganda under Vladimir Putin, the grandson of chef Spiridon Putin, who is also discussed in the book.
