Amber & Rye: A Baltic food journey Estonia Latvia Lithuania

4.42 (33 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Zuza Zak

In the Baltics, two worlds meet: the Baltic Sea joins Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, bringing culinary influences and cultural exchange. Food is author Zuza Zak's doorway to a deeper understanding of this region, its rich history, its culture and what makes it tick.

Her recipes explore new culinary horizons, are grounded in Baltic tradition and inspired by contemporary trends, making them modern, unique and easy to recreate at home. In addition to recipes and travel stories, there are snippets of poetry, literature, songs and proverbs, adding a rich layer that makes Amber & Rye a cultural reference point for travellers as well as a showcase for the vibrant new cuisine of the Baltic States.

Amber & Rye explores Baltic capitals, Vilnius, Tallinn and Riga, all three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, steeped in history and culture, guiding you around the cities, sharing stories and discovering a dynamic, new style of cooking.

Perfect for fans of Olia Hercules (Mamushka, Kaukasis), Regula Ysewijn (Pride and Pudding, Oats in the North) and Durkhanai Ayubi's Parwana.

It is such a joy to finally see a cookbook on beautiful Baltic cuisine, done with so much sensitivity and respect by Zuza Zak, one of my favourite authors. It is making me pine to travel to the region more than ever. Before I can do that, I will enjoy reading and cooking from this wonderful book. Olia Hercules See more

About Zuza Zak

Zuza Zak describes herself as a 'storyteller cook'. Her interest lies in the culture and history of food and she uses storytelling as a medium for delving into another cuisine and through its food and recipes into another culture. Her debut cookbook Polska: New Polish Cooking achieved much success - published in six countries it sold out after being chosen as one of the best cookbooks of 2016 on BBC Radio 4's The Food Programme. The Independent newspaper described Polska as capturing the spirit of a nation. Zuza was born in Communist Poland in 1979 and came to the UK when she was 18. She worked in TV in the UK for 8 years and has started a supper club A Slavic Tale.Since publishing her book Zuza has had regular appearances on Polish TV and radio and in the UK and the rest of Europe you can see her on Food Network Finds: Poland. She is also currently in talks with a UK production company about a food and culture related TV show as well as running her regular supper clubs and events in the UK and Poland.In October 2019 Zuza is starting a food-focussed PhD at the prestigious School of Slavonic and East European Studies UCL where she will continue exploring East European food from a socio-cultural perspective through the lens of a cultural anthropologist.
