Babushka’s recipes

This book is more than an archive of time-honored family recipes; it is a vibrant intertwining of memories and narratives, resonating with echoes of life and the essence of every individual from past generations.

The generation that weathered the harsh trials of war and repression has left us not only with delectable recipes, but also with living stories. While diaries and vanished letters have faded, the tales persist—these are invaluable moments that have enriched our comprehension of life and our history. Times may change, yet the lessons etched in words and flavors remain eternal.

Typically, young individuals are captivated by the present and less so by the distant past. This interest tends to awaken as maturity sets in, but regrettably, during this phase, there’s often no one left to inquire from…

We extend our sincere gratitude to all those who have shared their family memories and recipes with us, passing down the precious heritage of our grandmothers through generations.

The book is bilingual: Russian and English. Educational Center “Shalom” in Rockville, Maryland – Devoted to Traditions and Explorations.
