[Sca-cooks] [Fwd: Russian cooking stuff]

[Elaine Koogler]

Friends,
I forwarded Aislinn's message about zakuskas to one of my apprentices, 
and she turned it over to her husband, Lord Mikhail.  He is a Russian 
translator for the Army, and is currently working on a translation 
(newer and hopefully better) of the Domestroi.  I am forwarding his 
response to Aislinn...hopefully you'll all find his responses 
interesting.  He has given me permission to do so and said that if 
anyone wants to talk with him privately about this, I can supply them 
with his email addy.

By the bye...my student is an incredibly fine cook, and Lord Mikhail is 
a very fine brewer.
