5.0 out of 5 stars Collector's Item Dec 28 2010
By irute
Format:Hardcover
I have been looking for a book like this for years. The only other mention of a cookbook of Baltic foods was not only out of print, but used copies were going for over $400 US !! I used the book in preparing a Christmas Eve meal for extended family and they were delighted. The food was absolutely delicious ! It also brought back a lot of good memories among the older people there (including myself.)

The book was very informative. I learned that while these lands were part of the former Soviet Union, (to fully conquer and obliterate the culture) these traditional foods and the methods used to prepare them were apparently so strongly forbidden that now the natives of these lands have to ask emigres for "how to"s.

I have to order the book again for myself. I was compelled to give my copy to my sister as a gift. I have to do it soon, the rest of my family will likely be ordering it too, and I predict it too will soon be out of print.

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting but limited Dec 3 2010
By Latvian cook - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an interesting cookbook, but not very extensive or thorough - only 60 recipes in total, representing three unique cultures!
However, I found the recipes from Latvia (my heritage) to be a bit odd. My Latvian family has lots of excellent traditional cooks, and I grew up eating Latvian food all the time, cook Latvian food myself, but I have never even heard of some of these dishes.
Not to say there's anything wrong with the recipes, but I would suggest that they might not exactly be the typical Latvian food one would find on the table in a traditional Latvian household. I would have proably picked very different foods to represent what is traditional Latvian cuisine.

That being said, it makes me wonder about how representative or typical the recipes form the other countries might be, but just the same, nice pictures and an interesting overview of Baltic cuisine.
