Nikko: Oh my god this book is perfect! I bought this as a gift for my gf so she could teach me how to cook some food from her childhood but this has so many recipes that we haven’t even begun to break it in yet. All these recipes are super easy to follow and there’s no ingredients that are impossible to get.

Yoeri L: Absolutely love this cookbook. I decided to buy it after seeing the author's YouTube videos and deciding to make borsch following her recipe. My Ukrainian friend said it was excellent and reminded her of home. I immediately ordered this cookbook which is filled with classical and crowd pleasing eastern European dishes. I was impressed by the large amount of recipes, beautiful photos and clear instructions. Both imperial and metric units are given in the book, which saved me a lot of conversion troubles. This book will get a prominent spot in my kitchen!

Rusty Shackleford: This book has a wide variety of recipes from super simple to a little involved.
The most complicated recipe that I have tried is the Salmon Coulbiac. I am not sure it is worth the effort since I made it for myself, but of course the author mentions that so I should have heeded that warning. It was fun to make. One complaint about the recipe is that it says to use frozen puff pastry. Do not do that! I can not emphasize that enough. Puff pastry is flour, butter, salt, and water. Frozen puff pastry in stores are made of a chemical sludge. It is worth the effort to make from scratch.
The borscht recipe is really good. I do wish that she had said why that 't' is at the end of it. There is no 't' in the Russian spelling. I guess it is like English speakers saying Moscow when it is Moskva. A real complaint about this recipe is that it says to eat it with "Rustic bread", with the 'R' capitalized so I assumed that it was a specific thing and a recipe would exist in the book. Nope.
In fact, there are few bread recipes in this, which is good and bad I suppose.
Overall, it is a solid recipe book. Most things are simple and unlike other cuisines around the world,...

EmperorEnperry: I'm REALLY glad that I bought this book. As a chef in training, I love learning and expanding my knowledge of cooking different recipes. Learning about Eastern European cooking is a lot of fun and helps with cooking something different each week. My family and myself aren't from Europe, but I love these dishes in this book! As a kid, I was always fascinated by Russia, and it's culture. I'm extremely happy that the recipes are authentic and not 'Westernized' as a lot cookbooks tend to do. I made the Chicken Buckwheat Soup last week, and I wish I had made more! :P My family loved it!

Ilya Scheidwasser: I grew up in the U.S. since age 4 after my family moved here from Russia, so I've had my share of Russian cooking as an expat. I've had this book for a few months and have cooked or tried numerous recipes from it at this point, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The recipes are delicious, beautifully photographed, and have clear instructions. The book also has nice descriptions of how the author came to know these recipes and what they mean to her.
As a casual home cook (or rather, a co-cook with my fiancee), I like recipes with accessible ingredients which are not too convoluted to make, and this book definitely delivers on that front. Its recipes are generally (although not exclusively) straightforward both in their composition and in their preparation. The book is not incredibly long, so you won't find every famous Slavic recipe in it, but you'll find a good deal of them.
Special shout-outs to the braised cabbage and mushroom piroshki, the sprat and tomato tea sandwiches, the golubtsi (beef and mushroom cabbage rolls, which impressed the hell out of my parents when we served them), and the mind-blowing dill and garlic potatoes.
