Description
The Belarusian Cookbook is a culinary history told in over 200 recipes and 50 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 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 Kucharka 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. All have been carefully adapted for the modern kitchen, with attention to context, clarity, and accessibility.
This book offers a way to explore Belarus through its food — one recipe, one story, one meal at a time.
