What's cooking in the Kremlin

'What's Cooking in the Kremlin' is a tale of feast and famine told from the kitchen, the narrative of one of the most complex, troubling and fascinating nations on earth. Travel through Putin's Russia with acclaimed author Witold Szablowski as he learns the story of the chef who was shot alongside the Romonovs, and the Ukrainian woman who survived the Great Famine created by Stalin and still weeps with guilt; the soldiers on the Eastern front who roasted snails and made nettle soup as they fought back Hitler's army; the woman who cooked for Yuri Gagarin and the cosmonauts; and the man who ran the Kremlin kitchen during the years of plenty under Brezhnev.
