About this ebook
Many recipes in the book go back to our childhood in Russia. It took us some time to find American food alternatives and recreate those dishes with the same familiar home flavor, but it turned out well!
We like to cook and we like to experiment but we are not professional chefs by any means. Our culinary style is shaped by the nostalgia for the scrumptious meals lovingly cooked by our moms and grandmas, as well as traveling the world and getting to know various foods and cuisines.
As a result, we created our own signature recipes that are memorable, unique and taste great.
In our book we share ideas - not rigid guidelines - and we invite you to join our community of co-creation.
Although our approach to cooking is more creative than scientific, the ever so common "Wow!" reaction to the first bite tells us that we are onto something.
Our recipes are not just unique, but also very healthy!
Organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, fat-free, vegan; there are so many ways that people choose to nourish themselves that challenge the norms of traditional Russian cooking.
