    About this ebook

    "Home Cooking from Russia" offers 50 recipes that include all courses from appetizers to desserts. This cookbook contains some of the ex-Soviet Union people heritage - the recipes that have been traditional and favorite for ages and up-to-date in families that have been living in the countries of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, Belorussia and others. You have probably heard about many of those meals like Borsch, Varenyky/Perogies, Pelmeni, Plov/Pilaf, Kompot, Mors, Draniki, Blini, etc. Now you can have some of those recipes on your own bookshelf and you can make some of those meals in your own kitchen. The authors are not professionals, but enthusiastic cooks at home and are more than happy to share with you their most cherished family recipes composed in a rustic and simple way. Little historic notes and suggestions might be curious and helpful. Full-color photographs accompany each recipe so that you can easily make your choice and see the end result of your effort. Bon Appetite!

    Author

    Liudmila Bylinka

    Ekaterina Bylinka is a professional Translator and a Psychologist; originally from Russia that is currently a stay-at-home mom of a 3-year old highly energetic boy and a wife of a wonderful Canadian man. She has been blessed to inherit her mother's and grandmother's love for cooking at home. Once immigrated to Canada, Ekaterina has discovered tons of beautiful cooking ideas from the Western cuisine and has been requested numerous times by her new family members and friends to share the recipes from Russia as well. This is how "Home Cooking from Russia" was inspired and born. Liudmila Bylinka is a professional Mechanical Engineer, an Office Manager, a caring and loving Wife, a Mother of three children and a Grandmother of two little grandkids. She is a gifted woman in various fields, including her special home cooking, baking, canning, pickling and more. She gets so inspired when her big family finally gets together around her dining-table that she creates even more irresistible and scrumptious meals for everyone. Permanently she lives in Russia, but has been to Canada a few times, enough to fall in love with the Western cuisine as well. Liudmila is a co-author and a great part of "Home Cooking from Russia".

      INTRODUCTION

      Dear Reader, could you, please, answer just one question...What place in your home is usually the most popular and habituated?! Isn’t it the kitchen and the dining area? I bet it is. Isn't it the heart of any home anywhere in the world, a place that by spreading the most enticing aromas brings families and friends together to enjoy their meals and conversations in a warm, sweet environment?! I think everyone will agree.

      For a long time I wanted to put a collection of my family's favorite recipes together to share it with my new Canadian family and friends as they have been quite interested in it, but I had no idea when and how I could do this… I believe the moment and the idea have now arrived and hopefully Home Cooking from Russia will be loved by both them and you, Dear Reader, as we have decided to share it with you too.

      I must say though that the recipes collected in Home Cooking from Russia are precious and popular not only in my Russian and now Canadian family, but in families across the whole country of the Russian Federation. And not only Russian recipes have been included into this cookbook, but also the ones that originally are from the former USSR, those of Ukraine, Belorussia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, Kyrgyzstan and others. Within the seventy-year union the countries’ cuisines blended so greatly that have truly become integral parts of each other. It means that with this cookbook you have got an opportunity to sample not only Russian traditional dishes, but Eastern European and Central Asian ones as well.

      And, if you really want to succeed in Russian or any other cooking, please always remember the following:

      • Be fearless in your kitchen that is create, improvise, add to a recipe or deduct, replace with different ingredients that might match well, to your opinion. When you do this with passion, it will work out. You’ll pleasantly surprise not only your family and friends, but yourself! Along with the pictures you can find some food for thought and inspiration that will help you believe in your possibilities!

      • The key ingredient to successful cooking is to feel LOVE for the ones you make it for. If you add it generously to any meal you prepare, even the one that might seem challenging at first will turn out the best.

      Home Cooking from Russia fitted only 50+ most popular and favorite in Russia recipes and that is just a minimum of what we have got to share with you, Dear Reader. In the nearest future both myself and my co-author truly are looking forward to create Home Cooking from Russia - 2 that will include other popular dishes like Golubtsy (Cabbage Rolls), Shashlyk (Chargrilled Marinated Meat Chunks with Veggies on Skewers), Holodets (Naturally Jellied Pork with Mustard), Duck stuffed with Apples and wrapped in a Dough Disc, Belyashi (yeast dough triangles with a ground meat and rice filling), Okroshka (Cold Summer Soup), homemade Pickling and Canning, other splendid Salads, Drinks, Desserts, Baking, Pastry and more.

      We genuinely hope that your cooking with Home Cooking from Russia will be easy and enjoyable and we are sure it will be as well successful. So, here it is - from our table to yours!¹

      Sincerely,

      Ekaterina Bylinka
