One cannot forget her multi-ethnic specialties, among them Romanian eggplant salad, Colombian Ajiaco potato soup, Bukovinian Schmettentorte (sour cream cake), to name just a small sampling of her culinary repertoire. French gastronome Jean Brillat-Savarin once remarked that 'the discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of the new race than the discovery of a star.' George Bernard Shaw also believed that there was no love more sincere than the love of food. A sampling of the recipes from this book readily confirms both opinions.\" --Vladimir F. Wertsman, author of What's Cooking in Multicultural America (Scarecrow Press, 1996) This is an unpretentious cookbook designed for epicurean tastes. It is also a tribute to the women of various ethnic backgrounds who left us the legacy of fine cuisine, which I hope to pass on to future generations. The majority of these recipes are from Bukovina, once Northern Romania, and other countries which were once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Some of the Bukovinian dishes are almost legendary in their nostalgia. Many have never before been documented and, most probably, have never been featured on restaurant menus. I have wandered across four continents and have experienced life under monarchies, communism, and fascism, all of which I survived. These multiple acculturations were extremely difficult, but had also some positive effects: one of them being the acquisition of a myriad of recipes. I am pleased to share with you some of them in the hope that you will enjoy this adventure as much as I did. --Ruth Glasberg Gold\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50445312295186,"sku":"9781450252386","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_76c246c2-46ad-45ea-ba52-208c43bea2e6.jpg?v=1729700106","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/from-ruths-kitchen-with-love-delicious-bukovinian-other-ethnic-dishes-9781450252386","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
