{"product_id":"9781450252409","title":"FROM RUTH'S KITCHEN WITH LOVE: DELICIOUS BUKOVINIAN \u0026 OTHER ETHNIC DISHES","description":"\u003cp\u003e “As a multi-faceted author, gracious hostess and cook, Ruth has long been admired by her many friends who have been invited to her dinners. 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.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e —Vladimir F. Wertsman, author of What’s Cooking in Multicultural America (Scarecrow Press, 1996) \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e —\u003ci\u003eRuth Glasberg Gold\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155596099824,"sku":"9781450252409","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781450252409_p0.jpg?v=1763837354","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450252409","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
