Description
Celebrated Portland chef Bonnie Frumkin Morales brings Russian cuisine into your home kitchen with Kachka. This debut cookbook modernizes traditional dishes while holding to their spirit, using vibrant, locally sourced ingredients. From bright pickles to pillowy dumplings, and from vodka infusions to homestyle dishes, the book covers a vivid world of Russian cuisine. More than 100 recipes show how easy it is to eat in Soviet-inspired style, with dishes like Caucasus-inspired meatballs, Porcini Barley Soup, and Cauliflower Schnitzel. The recipes also give new twists to current food trends like pickling, fermentation, and bone broths. Kachka's recipes are rooted in Russia's tradition of smoked fish, cultured dairy, and a shot of vodka, but with a celebratory and elegant edge. The book's clear and inviting food is rooted in the past yet not afraid to play around with new ideas. With its unique blend of traditional and modern flavors, Kachka is perfect for anyone looking to explore Russian cuisine at home.
