Growing up, she recalls singing odes to Lenin, black‑marketing Juicy Fruit gum at school, and yearning for the food of the West. The book chronicles how these formative experiences, marked by absurdity, melancholy, and resilience, inspired her to pursue a career in food writing and to celebrate Russian culinary traditions in a new cultural context.
