Meet Nina, a recent arrival from Russia, for whom colorful vegetables represent her own fresh hopes and dreams . . . Luda and Milena, who battle over a widower in their English class with competing recipes for cheese puffs, spinach pies, and meatballs . . . and Sergey, who finds more comfort in the borscht made by a paid female companion than in her sexual ministrations. They all crave the taste and smell of home, wherever--and with whomever--that may turn out to be. A roundup of recipes are the final taste of this delicious collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anchor Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45082693075095,"sku":"9780307279880","price":1251.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780307279880.webp?v=1767263356","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/broccoli-and-other-tales-of-food-and-love-9780307279880","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
