[Sca-cooks] Russian Sources

[Johnna Holloway]

This PhD might be of interest--
Cabbage and cuisine :
food in Russia before the great reforms by
Alison Karen Smith. 2000
   University of Chicago. 2 volumes

I own the following and thought the bibliography was interesting--
Bread and salt : a social and economic history of food and drink in 
Russia by  R E F Smith;  David Christian
1984  Cambridge University Press

You can get always look at the actual 19th century Russian recipes
in translation from their most famous cookbook--
Classic Russian Cooking: Elena Molokhovets' a Gift to Young Housewives
translated by Joyce Toomre. It's the Russian Mrs. Beeton.
