Russian Cookbook: Traditional Russian Recipes Made Easy

You've got a thing for food. And not just good food. You seek the experience that comes from trying something new...and the surprise of something so sublimely delicious, you instinctively close your eyes to heighten the taste and fully appreciate the moment.

You also like learning about the dish's back story. Was it some up-and-coming hotshot chef this year, or is the recipe hundreds of years old, figured out in a time of war, when food was scarce?

This passion started out a few years ago, when you checked out the latest restaurants. Then, you got smart and let the world's traditions find their way into your kitchen.

Discovering a love of cooking, you sought out tasty and challenging recipes to build your skills and take your dining, and dinner parties, to the next level.

As with most new cooks, you started with a good cross-section of American cuisine, then made your way across the border and overseas. Italian, Thai, Mexican, French, Vietnamese, Indian, Greek, and Chinese.

What should you try next?
