Archived Articles | 06 Dec 2005 | EL (Estonian Life)EWR

Are you looking for the perfect rosolje recipe? or perhaps the ultimate mulgikapsad? and have you ever wondered why a traditional Estonian family always put a whole fish on the table on New Year's Eve? If so, "Estonian Tastes and Traditions" is for you.

This new English-language hardcover cookbook is 315 pages with 200+ recipes.

These recipes include traditional foods like verivorstid (Christmas blood sausage), marineeritud räimed (marinated smelts), hapukapsasupp (sauerkraut soup), ühepajatoit (lamb with root vegetables), hakklihakaste (ground beef gravy), and aleksandrikook (Alexander's cake) as well as more modern Estonian foods like õlles hautatud liha (beef braised in beer), soolatud lõhe (gravlax), krabitarretis (crab mold), singipirukad ananassiga(ham and pineapple pierogies), banaanimagustoit "Vana Tallinn" (bananas topped with Vana Tallinn liqueur), and kräsupea kook (curly-top cake). Many of the recipes were submitted by Estonians around the world, kitchen-tested, and in some cases updated.

There are also chapters on Estonian history, Estonians in Estonia and abroad, and holiday traditions, as well as a comprehensive Estonian-English and English-Estonian food term glossary.

The publication date is December 10 and will be available for Christmas! The cover price is $24.95.
