The Belarusian Cookbook by Aliaksandr Biely
Summer 2025

The Belarusian Cookbook by Ales Biely

The Belarusian Cookbook is a culinary history told in over 200 recipes and 70 photographs.

This book is a cultural and historical journey through the kitchens of Belarus, a land shaped by shifting borders, layered identities, and  centuries of cultural exchange. 

Here you’ll find the simple meals of peasants and the refined dishes of the gentry. Recipes preserved in oral tradition sit beside those drawn from rare cookbooks, including the remarkable 19th-century Kuharka Litewska. Jewish, Tatar, Lithuanian, Polish, and Russian influences run through the pages, woven into a cuisine that is local, resilient, and quietly inventive.

Many of these dishes appear in English for the first time.

  3. Support Us Directly:
    Consider purchasing our books for yourself or to give as gifts (contact us for a special publisher discount on direct orders).
