Do you think you would buy a Russian cookbook (in English)?

I enjoy cooking and creating new dishes. I truly do. And I like sharing my recipes. By now I have a huge collection of very good Russian and generally Eastern European recipes: appetizers, salads, soups, meat, fish, side dishes, pies, cakes, etc. * Would you be interested in such a book? * Would you like to have it in your home collection? * What exactly would you like to see in it? Thank you very much for answering. I truly appreciate your ideas and time!

How do you make sure that Russian Caramels have a grainy texture, rather than a smooth texture?

I already have a recipe for Russian Caramels, but I get the impression from the recipe that it's supposed to be smooth in texture, but that's not the way I remember them. Is it just reducing the cooking time that ensures the grainy texture? (Traditional) Russian caramels don't contain corn syrup - just butter, condensed milk, brown sugar - so your chemistry answer, while good, isn't really appropriate.

Fish seasoned in refrigerator uncoocked with salt and sugar, edible ?

I saw a recipe, it is like : two fresh salmon steaks mixed with two tea spoons of salt and one tea spoon of sugar. Place it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator (not in the freezing compartment). Leave it maximum up to two days. Eat it un-cooked with mashed potatoes. I am not confident trying this Russian recipe as the fish is still raw and not cooked. Anyone know about this style ?

Question about making russian caramels. (getting chalky consistancy)?

I have a standard recipe. You know it only has like a couple ingredients. Butter, golden syrup, sugar, condensed milk. My recipe says to stir while cooking for 15 minutes after boiling point. I like my caramels to have the chalky consistency rather than the chewy one. How do I make go like that. Is it the cooking time? if so how long do I do it for? THANKS :)

To Russian friends please: Have you any favourite things to eat? Especially snacks and appetisers?

Or easy things to make that would pair with a salad and some bread and butter and make a light supper? Also, do you have any favourite summer recipes .... with berries, say ... or quick meat dishes? Or a baked savoury custard .. anything like that, please?? In addition: what sort of things are considered "zakouska"? I had a Russian acquaintance who spoke of it, but that was before I started to cook. It really is no fun reading cookbooks.... I like to know what real people eat! Peace & Love to you p.s. If you would like a recipe or information or ideas in exchange, perhaps I could find something for you ... please say.

breastmilk recipes?

OK... this is mostly for the experienced breastfeeding moms out there. Have you ever used any of the breastmilk recipes online? Like the ones for use in regular kitchen cooking, for the whole family, not just to mix baby's oatmeal with. I saw one for alfredo sauce, one to make your own cottage cheese, one funny one was for a cocktail - a white Russian!!! Then there are the soaps and stuff too. please .... all the immature and breastfeeding ignorant people, keep your comments to yourself... I'm asking a serious question here! I don't care if you think it's gross or wierd or whatever. If you have used breastmilk for something other than feeding your baby/toddler/preschooler or the usual ear infection, pink eye, diaper rash cure - please share your experience. my daughter has weaned long ago at 18 months... but I was poking around when a friend was talking about making soap for her older child w/ a bad rash they can't figure out. unfortunately, my husband would have a fit... he's a normal man despite his hardcore breastfeeding activist wife. my daughter is almost 5 and says "eww, milky boob milk is for babies" when I joke about putting some of the frozen stuff I have for the boy I babysit in a sippy for her. I was more curious to see if any of the food items really come out that way... if an alfredo sauce really came out creamy and didn't taste too sweet, or if the cottage cheese did come out really resembling cottage cheese. I'd seen these recipes before, but even while I was lactating, I didn't feel like pumping more than I needed for my regular freezer stash just to experiment w/ a recipe that only I would eat! - plus, I just don't like the texture of cottage cheese anyway - I think it's gross from any mammal!!! dolfin426...... I never found one for ice cream in a tiny batch either... but I did use just a little fresh milk and some fruit, pureed it and put it in the freezer and kept checking on it, scraping the ice up - was sort of a sorbet... I also used frozen milk in the blender w/ fresh fruit and a little YoBaby and made smoothies in the summer time (that was when she was just over a year, and I still had my freezer stash - was looking to get rid of it before it spoiled!!! she loved those smoothies!) um... why did yahoo put some * where i tried to write the word "b,a,t,c,h"... as in a tiny b@+ch of ice cream... did they think I meant the word for female dog? stupid. hey look at that... I guess someone read my update... changed the asterisks back to the real word BATCH... lol

Russian Bread Recipe Needed?

I have an ordeal coming up, where i need to bake some Russian bread. I have no recipes, actually, i have never cooked breads (other than bananna, pecan, etc). so does anyone have a recipe that they would mind sharing? Even if it is not Russian, i can act like it is. Just something tasty.

What are some good Russian potato recipes?

My mom's of Russian descent, but since my family's been in America for over 100 years, I don't have a lot of recipes. I like potatoes and I know they are a staple in Russia. If anyone has any good Russian potato recipes please post them here. I like cooking new things.
