100 traditional yet surprisingly modern recipes from the far northern corners of Russia, featuring ingredients and dishes that young Russians are rediscovering as part of their heritage
Darra Goldstein is the author of Fire + Ice, which was nominated for James Beard, IACP, and The Art of Eating awards. The founding editor of Gastronomica- The Journal of Food and Culture, named Publication of the Year by the James Beard Foundation, Darra also serves as series editor of California Studies in Food and Culture, and has written for Gourmet, Saveur, Bon Appetit, and The New York Times.
“I squealed with joy when I learned that Darra was writing this
book and the results are even more magnificent that I could have
imagined. Beyond the North Wind is at once vividly
passionate and methodically researched—a love letter to Russian
cooking and hospitality.”—Bonnie Morales, author and chef of
Kachka
“This is Darra Goldstein’s masterpiece. Not only is this book full
of invaluable research, it is also brimming with warm words and
love for real Russia—its people and their wonderful food and unique
culture.”—Olia Hercules, author of Mamushka
“In this beautifully written, gorgeously photographed volume, Darra
Goldstein captures both the archaic soul of old
Russia and the hip new global zeitgeist. Her love letter
to the mysterious Russian North brims with revelations, from
recipes I can’t wait to make—dandelion blossom syrup! pumpkin
pancakes!—to intimate portraits of cooks, erudite historical
essays, and evocative travel notes. Part recipe collection, part
cultural anthropology, part poetic evocation of place, this is the
best kind of cookbook: one that evokes an entire culture at the
table.”—Anya von Bremzen, author Mastering the Art of Soviet
Cooking
“Ever since I started to cook from Darra Goldstein’s classic
book, A Taste of Russia, I have wanted her to return and
explore more, to look at what’s happening in Russia now, to see how
it has meshed the old with the new. Beyond the North
Wind—rich, delicious, human—has been well worth the wait. Nobody
knows more about Russian food and culture than Darra. This is my
cookbook highlight of the year.”—Diana Henry, James Beard
Award–winning author
