Description:
Modern Library Food series editor Ruth Reichl was poking around in the cookbook stacks of an appealingly dusty used bookstore when she happened on a familiar name: Katish. At Gourmet Magazine, where Ruth is editor in chief, Katish's name is attached to one of their all-time popular recipes, a cheesecake of supernatural lightness.
Expand description
She plunged in to read "Katish", Our Russian Cook, a novel-with-recipes, and found that all of them first appeared on the pages of Gourmet, decades ago. The recipes do not date - will there ever be a time when blini with caviar do not appeal? -- and Katish herself is a marvelous creation: a Russian emigre who finds her second home in the Los Angeles of the 1920s. Not content with crafting her homely miracles in the kitchen, she is soon bankrolling her needy friends, serving as matchmaker (good food being the most powerful aphrodisiac), and generally running the household. Think of Like Water For Chocolate, but with piroshky and babka.
