For the first time, all the «culinary journeys» of Alexander Genis are collected under one cover. Genis is convinced that «only culinary arts can gather all the features of the national culture at one — dinner — table in order to tell outsiders their intimate story.»
For the first time, all the «culinary journeys» of Alexander Genis are collected under one cover. Genis is convinced that «only culinary arts can gather all the features of the national culture at one — dinner — table in order to tell outsiders their intimate story.» The high harmony of Italian cuisine, Scottish asceticism, Japanese minimalism – the sharp eye of the author masterfully picks out its main feature in each gastronomic tradition, turning the seemingly lightweight notes of a gourmet traveler into a deep and accurate study of one of the most interesting cultural phenomena.
