Blini, caviar, and borscht are familiar enough to many people, but what surprises might await us when we try ukha, khinkali, khachapuri, lahmadjo, or plov? Russia, Ukraine, and Caucasus offer a wealth of culinary delicacies that are hardly known to us, a myriad of foods and flavors fed by the most diverse influences and cultures at the intersection of Orient and Occident. The spectrum extends from traditional fish and meat specialties of the nomadic peoples in northern Russia to sweets with a touch of oriental flavor favored in Azerbaijan. This book explores the extraordinary breadth of this fascinating, multicultural cuisine in informative texts written by selected experts with deep understanding of the countries, paired with impressive photography. In addition to providing background information about the various lands and the foods that are typical of each of them, readers will find a generous selection of authentic recipes that invite them to explore this new culinary terrain up close and personal, through cooking, eating, and enjoying.

Kuchyně každého národa je její příroda v hrnci," řekl katalánský spisovatel Josep Pla. S Culinarií Španělsko, navazující na knihu Culinaria Francie, budete tedy poznávat rozmanitosti španělské země, přírody i kultury a odstíny neznámých chutí její kuchyně. Už samotná odlišnost klimatických podmínek dává tušit, že zde nemůže existovat jednotná národní kuchyně. Na chladném a vlhkém severu najdeme jiné plodiny než v mírném klimatu u Středozemního moře nebo na chudé náhorní plošině středního Španělska. Recepty v knize reprezentují jednotlivé regionální kuchyně, které zůstávají věrné svým tradicím - máte možnost vyzkoušet například katalánský rybí kotlík, česnekovou polévku z kraje La Manche, valencijskou paellu či mandlové bochánky z Andalusie. Kniha je pozvánkou na kulinární cestu po Španělsku - cesta k srdci vede prostě žaludkem.
