This delightful community cookbook from Asbury United Methodist Church offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich culinary traditions of Russian immigrants in the Midwest. Published in the late 20th century, it reflects the cultural exchange that occurred as waves of Russian immigrants settled in cities like Chicago, bringing with them treasured family recipes and adapting them to local ingredients. Compiled by church members, including John Rose, this collection serves as a living archive of beloved dishes passed down through generations. From hearty borscht and pierogi to decadent Russian tea cakes, each recipe tells a story of resilience, adaptation, and the enduring power of food to unite communities. Collectors will appreciate the book’s historical significance and the opportunity to preserve these culinary heirlooms for future generations.
