Alissa Timoshkina: Kapusta

This week, as Trump tramples over the future of Eastern Europe –
and indeed the rest of Europe, we’re with Siberian-born food
writer and co-founder of #CookforUkraine, Alissa Timoshkina.


Her latest book, Kapusta: Vegetable-Forward Recipes from Eastern
Europe is a celebration of the humble cabbage (and four other
vegetables) in the everyday kitchens of Eastern Europe. Her
co-founder of CookforUkraine, Olia Hercules calls it ‘A rare
cookbook that engages our thinking and delights our senses’ and
Nigella has already propped it up in her Cookbook
Corner.  


In a world that is in such turmoil at the moment, a book about
the rich history of Eastern European food and its peoples can do
much to remind us all of the taste and flavour of a part of the
world eclipsed by the headlines of war.


Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of Alissa.
