Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking: A Memoir of Food and Longing by Anya von Bremzen

5.0

Read it on Kindle - loved it. Learned more about Soviet history than I had know before, and loved reading history from the perspective of the people, not the leaders. Loved the food as a way in to understand the culture of the times. Very much enjoyed the memoir of her life - especially given that the author is roughly my age, so it was fun to see the similarity and differences of our lives.
