I don’t trust cookbooks by thin people.
You’d better trust slim people, they know how to eat healthier, and healthy food can be tasty.
Is it Russian cuisine? The culture of Tchaikovsky and Pushkin isn’t exactly noted for its culinary concoctions. Get me a cookbook by a Vietnamese or Singaporean opera star and we’ll talk.
She is an ethnic Tatar, their cuisine is quite eclectic and interesting, influenced by bordering nations and local resources. As far as Russian cuisine goes, you should try some of the more upscale restaurants. It is not all borcht, meat and potatoes.
I’m with you, Ms. Melody.
I’d be all into tasting (and attempting to cook at home) Tatar food, and if Aida’s cookbook were translated into English, I’d get a copy.
Out of Garifullina’s post, courtesy of Google Translate:
“For a whole year we all worked on this book with the whole team to convey in it all my love for cooking, the most favorite recipes collected from all over the world, which I, as a souvenir, brought home from different countries every time…”
judging from her slender body this book must be a kind of healthy diet recipes collection … One should expect something like low-cholesterol caviar with fresh peaches or non-carb pelmenys + alcohol free vodka 😉
Can you possibly think of any more stereotypes?
All stereotypes are based mainly on differences. I cannot say I am strongly opposite to those I mentioned above ( caviar, peaches etc), so they are not stereotypes for me.
All the same if you like to think they are stereotypes – a bit more to sweeten your thoughts on me – vegetarian foie gras ( to save those poor ducks)+ still champagne 😉 or cottage cheese burger with chinese green tea 😉 Enjoy your meals 😉
