КГБ, или как готовили бабушки

Kogda avtory byli sovsem i͡unymi, oni s interesom nabli͡udali, kak babushki svi͡ashchennodeĭstvui͡ut na kukhne… Togda, v sovetskoe vremi͡a, s produktami bylo gorazdo khuzhe, chem seĭchas. No tovarnyĭ defit͡sit ne oznachal defit͡sita kulinarnoĭ fantazii. Skoree naoborot, podkhlëstyval voobrazhenie i budil v li͡udi͡akh tvorcheskoe nachalo. V otsutstvie Interneta vse okhotno obmenivalisʹ drug s drugom idei͡ami, sekretami firmennykh bli͡ud, ret͡septami prazdnichnymi i povsednevnymi. I zapisyvali ikh v osobye tetradki. Kak pravilo, ėtim zanimalisʹ babushki, vedʹ imenno oni i͡avli͡ai͡utsi͡a khranitelʹnit͡sami semeĭnykh tradit͡siĭ, v kotorykh sovmestnai͡a trapeza imeet ogromnoe znachenie.Avtory knigi berezhno sokhranili tetradki svoikh babushek i teperʹ predlagai͡ut vnimanii͡u chitateleĭ nekotorye izbrannye ret͡septy.

When the authors were very young, they watched with interest how grandmothers officiate in the kitchen… Then, in Soviet times, it was much worse with food than it is now. But a commodity shortage did not mean a shortage of culinary imagination. Rather, on the contrary, it whipped up the imagination and awakened creativity in people. In the absence of the Internet, everyone willingly exchanged ideas with each other, secrets of signature dishes, recipes festive and everyday. And they wrote them down in special notebooks. As a rule, grandmothers did this, because they are the keepers of family traditions in which a joint meal is of great importance.The authors of the book have carefully preserved the notebooks of their grandmothers and now offer readers some selected recipes.
