520    Russia and the newly independent states of Central Asia 
       are struggling to reassert or create national identities 
       and are receiving fresh attention from the West. After 
       decades of oblivion, the vast Eurasian continent is once 
       again divulging its intense cultural heritage and foodways
       to the international community. The diversity of food 
       cultures within the former Soviet Union, with more than 
       100 distinct nationalities, is overwhelming, but this book
       brilliantly distills the main elements of contemporary 
       cuisine and food-related customs for students and foodies.
       Vibrant descriptions of the legacy of the Silk Road; the 
       classic foods such as kasha, pirogi, non (flatbread), 
       pickles, and shashlyk (shish kebab); the over-the-top 
       Moscow theme restaurants; and meals at the dacha and tea 
       time are just some of the highlights. This is the first 
       book on the food cultures of Eurasia in a post-Soviet and 
       geographic, social, and aesthetic context.
