Some background to my latest cookbooks in preserved foods, just out from @HardieGrant

[FoodPrint @foodprintorg]

We've long used methods like curing and fermenting to stretch a season's bounty. Today, interest in preservation runs high — and the new “Preserved” series shares recipes that have stood the test of time.

@omnivorebooks @SheilaDillon The claying process whitens the sugar. Here's a great article from 1809 describing it in detail: https://t.co/44igtmP0sn

Listen to my latest thoughts on Russian cuisine and conflict on @jillrussia podcast from @kennaninstitute : https://t.co/hG9MAAd2ax

[Darra Goldstein @darra_goldstein]

@ninarenataaron @DearSplenda Glad you’re enjoying it!

[Darra Goldstein @darra_goldstein]

@ailsa_writes I do! Though I think the aspen buds might be even more bitter than the birch. I'd use them sparingly at first. Let me know how it turns out. And I'm so glad you like my book!

Philadelphians! On Sept. 29 I’m giving a talk at Swarthmore on my culinary research in the Russian Arctic. It’s open to the public, in McCabe Library’s LibLab at 4:30. Come if you can! 📸 Stefan Wettainen

[Darra Goldstein @darra_goldstein]

@ninarenataaron @DearSplenda Yes, borscht is the common spelling in the US, transliterated from Yiddish and easier for English speakers than the final Cyrillic letter Щ, which is phonetically rendered as 'shch.' You sometimes see 'borsch' too but I think that's the worst.

[André Simon Awards @AndreSimonAward]

The Kingdom of Rye: A Brief History of Russian Food is an engaging story of Russian cuisine, history and culture. Darra Goldstein details Russians' ingenuity in overcoming hunger, a difficult climate, and a history of political hardship @darra_goldstein

[Darra Goldstein @darra_goldstein]

@cookiesandthe @AdeenaSussman Sababa is a favorite.

[Darra Goldstein @darra_goldstein]
