Arguably, the second vegetarian- and the first pescatarian cookbook to be published in Russia, it featured an exhaustive array of recipes, including soups, desserts, sauces, baked goods, main dishes, etc. The first-ever, fully-vegetarian cookbook had been published in 1913 by Olga Zelenkova - author and wife of surgeon and chairman of the first vegetarian society in Russia Aleksandr Zelenkov. In contrast, the goal of the authors of the current book had been to introduce recipes "without meat," because of its scarcity and high prices at the time. Thus, they had also chosen to include various fish dishes, as well. Very good .
