[Sca-cooks] Seeking salmon recipe

[Susan Lin]

When I did a Russian feast a few years ago (people referred to it as
"Ottoman Empire") I also did not find a lot of period information.  There is
a great deal from the time of French influence but not much I could find
that was written prior to that.

If you use modern sources you will find a lot of potatoes and other "new
world" items.  One of our brewers made several kinds of kvas.

These are some of the books I used.  I tried to extrapolate what might be
more period - if not the foods themselves then some of the preparations.  I
also pulled from my Jewish upbringing (pickled tongue, gravlax, etc.)

A Taste of Russia (previously published as A la Russe:  A Cookbook of
Russian Hospitality) by Darra Goldstein, 1999, ISBN 1-880100-42-8
Please to the Table -- The Russian Cookbook by Anya von Bremzen and John
Welchman, 1990, ISBN 0-89480-753-6 (pbk.)
Culinaria Russia (Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan), editor Marion
Trutter, 2007, ISBN 978-3-8331-4669-5

Good Luck,
Shoshanah
