CCCP Cook Book
Author: Olga Syutkin
Publisher: Fuel Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
This book contains over 60 recipes, each introduced with an insightful historical story or anecdote, and an accompanying image, spanning such delicacies as aspic, borscht, caviar and herring, by way of bird's milk cake and pelmeni. As the Soviet Union struggled along the path to Communism, food supplies were often sporadic and shortages commonplace. Day to day living was hard, both the authorities and their citizens had to apply every ounce of ingenuity to maximize often inadequate resources. The stories and recipes contained here reflect these turbulent times: from basic subsistence meals consumed by the average citizen (okroshka), to extravagant banquets held by the political elite (suckling pig with buckwheat), and a scattering of classics (beef stroganoff) in between. Illustrated using images sourced from original Soviet recipe books collected by the author. Many of these sometimes extraordinary-looking pictures depicted dishes whose recipes used unobtainable ingredients, placing them firmly in the realm of 'aspirational' fantasy for the average Soviet household. In their content and presentation the pictures themselves act as a window into cuisine of the day, in turn revealing the unique political and social attitudes of the era.

Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking
Author: Anya von Bremzen
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307886832
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
A James Beard Award-winning writer captures life under the Red socialist banner in this wildly inventive, tragicomic memoir of feasts, famines, and three generations “Delicious . . . A banquet of anecdote that brings history to life with intimacy, candor, and glorious color.”—NPR’s All Things Considered Born in 1963, in an era of bread shortages, Anya grew up in a communal Moscow apartment where eighteen families shared one kitchen. She sang odes to Lenin, black-marketeered Juicy Fruit gum at school, watched her father brew moonshine, and, like most Soviet citizens, longed for a taste of the mythical West. It was a life by turns absurd, naively joyous, and melancholy—and ultimately intolerable to her anti-Soviet mother, Larisa. When Anya was ten, she and Larisa fled the political repression of Brezhnev-era Russia, arriving in Philadelphia with no winter coats and no right of return. Now Anya occupies two parallel food universes: one where she writes about four-star restaurants, the other where a taste of humble kolbasa transports her back to her scarlet-blazed socialist past. To bring that past to life, Anya and her mother decide to eat and cook their way through every decade of the Soviet experience. Through these meals, and through the tales of three generations of her family, Anya tells the intimate yet epic story of life in the USSR. Wildly inventive and slyly witty, Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking is that rare book that stirs our souls and our senses.

Pages : 128
Book Description
Saul Alinsky was a radical Socialist and political activist; his conflict/response model for revolutionary activism has been used as a tactical compass for every left-leaning political action in America from Abbey Hoffman¿s Chicago trial to the perverse media attacks on Gov. Sarah Palin. President William Jefferson Clinton won two presidential races by cashing in on Alinsky¿s political capital in social activism. More recently, President Barrack Hussein Obama demonstrated in 2008 he understood this model even better than Alinsky¿s star pupil, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Incredibly, Alinsky¿s model can be applied to any political situation, even one in which the target for change is Alinsky¿s own Socialist America.If Americans really want to advance the notion of liberty, we could take a few pointers on strategic activism from the side of the battleground that is successfully shredding the Constitution, ignoring the Bill of Rights, and destroying the system of Capitalism that protects our liberty. Besides¿using Alinsky¿s rules to achieve the defeat of Socialism has a certain sweet irony to it. Where to hit, who to hit, and specifically how to hit below the Socialists belt¿¿How to leverage Alinsky¿s maniacal search for good activists and great strategies¿Using Alinsky¿s 'rules¿ to thwart Obama¿s conspiracy to destroy Capitalism through coercive taxation and inflation¿Making ACORN completely nuts with voter registration; an 800lb leviathan in 2010¿How your library card and home computer can be used to defeat the three stooges of Socialism; Obama, Pelosi and Reed.Finally, a plan emerges¿time to kick some Socialist butt.
