More than anything, I have always loved to cook. At the age of five, I would sit on my Aunt’s counter top and insist that she let me boil lettuce. I spent time baking with my mom and grandma, and watching my dad make spaghetti sauce and soups. In my 20s, I learned to cook Russian food from my husband’s mother and babushka. The recipes in this book, reflect the power that food has to bring people together and is a testament to the importance of carrying on family traditions and creating new ones.
