Yet since olden times was considered the honoured employment to teach, treat and feed. In France in the last century an artisan could not become a nobleman, but for cooks an exception was done, because labour of them was equated with an art. Labour of talented cook is near to work of painter and sculptor, requires artistic taste, sense of light and form. It is necessary to remember the Russian cooks working in half-dark basements of inns a kind word, restaurants, these obscure workers leaving to us in an inheritance culinary art. Without this inheritance, there would not be our modern cookery, there would not be those dishes that and now are PRIDE of RUSSIAN KITCHEN.
