Leo Tolstoy's Family Recipe for Mac and Cheese
Briefly

The Cook Book, published by Stepan Andreyevich Bers in 1874 as a gift to Countess Sophia Andreevna Tolstaya, contains a rich collection of the Tolstoy family's favorite recipes. This historical artifact reflects the culinary traditions of the late czarist Russian aristocracy. Now, 150 years later, Sergei Beltyukov has translated and republished this cookbook, including notable recipes such as Tartar Sauce, Stuffed Dumplings, and a unique Mac 'N' Cheese. The book also offers a translation of period-specific Russian weights and measures, connecting past culinary practices to the present.
