Galina Reichert’s third book is not a collection of recipes or a compilation, but a presentation of the author’s concept of the revival of drinking traditions, the possibility of transforming everyday drunkenness into cultural drinking... Despite the “culinary” title, the book is also about alcohol and the problems of alcoholism dependencies. The theory of moderate and civilized drinking deserves not only criticism from teetotalers, but also the right to respond to them. Since sobriety in Russia today is unattainable, any means are good to reduce the consequences of drunkenness. The book will be of interest to those who drink but do not suffer from a pathological attraction to alcohol, to those who have not yet built their relationship with alcohol, to those who have come close to the dangerous line... Useful information, tips and recipes, collected for the first time in one book, will come in handy everyone!
