{"product_id":"9781837837274","title":"Lozhka : Eastern European Soups, Stews \u0026 Other Things We Eat with a Spoon - Alissa Timoshkina","description":"I couldn't love this book more. -- Diana HenryJust as you would tuck into a bowl of Alissa's quince borscht or linger over her boozy, chocolate and smetana-layered trifle, I promise you will want to do the same with this deeply felt gem of a book. -- Polina ChesnakovaIn Lozhka, award-winning writer and co-founder of #CookforUkraine, Alissa Timoshkina celebrates Eastern Europe through one of its most humble and powerful symbols: the spoon. Blending soulful recipes with rich storytelling, she brings together history, memory and cookery in a portrait of the region that is both deeply comforting and strikingly contemporary. From herb-scented soups and hearty grain stews to pillowy dumplings and custard-soaked desserts, each dish carries a sense of meaning, memory and belonging. Drawing on a wide range of traditions, including Ukrainian, Jewish, Tatar, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak and Roma, amongst others, Lozhka reveals a borderless cuisine shaped by resilience and generosity. Vibrant, vegetable-led and full of smoky, tangy and creamy flavours, these recipes are made for today's kitchens while honouring centuries of tradition. More than a cookbook, Lozhka is a journey through kitchens, cultures and shared histories - an invitation to slow down, gather round and savour the stories carried in every spoonful.","brand":"Alissa Timoshkina","offers":[{"title":"224 pages, Full-colour photography throughout \/ 15\/10\/2026 \/ General cookery \u0026 recipes","offer_id":57459211927927,"sku":"9781837837274","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781837837274.jpg?v=1789549510","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781837837274","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
