Salt and Time
Recipes from a Russian Kitchen
Featured as a new trend for 2021, Salt & Time will transform perceptions of the food of the former Soviet Union with 100 inviting recipes adapted for modern tastes and Western kitchens, and evocative storytelling to explain and entice.
“Look beyond blinis and borscht with food writer and supper club host Alissa Timoshkina, who grew up in Siberia. Her book Salt & Time is packed with beautifully photographed modern interpretations of traditional recipes: think Soviet-Korean ceviche (a nod to the migrant population in the far east of the country), stuffed savoury buns and a deliciously moreish carrot and caraway cake.” - Waitrose Magazine Trends of 2021
“Some cookbooks take you on a journey that is as poetic as it is geographical and culinary, and Salt & Time (from the very title on) is just such a one”

Praise FOR SALT AND TIME
“Alissa Timoshkina’s book on Siberia is more than just filled with recipes, it’s an exploration of a place and its people told through food.”
“If anyone had to write a Russian cookbook now, it would have to be her, and her book will end up being a classic”
“Quality debut cookbook in which the author channels the flavours and memories of her native country into an inviting and intriguing set of contemporary recipes.”
“The book is visually stunning, from the austerely beautiful cover to creative photography by Lizzie Mayson and the modish styling and design (admirers of Kinfolk magazine take note).”
“Timoshkina has lovingly curated Salt & Time, drawing on research, experience in hosting pop-ups and supper clubs, her own food memories and her family’s culinary traditions, resulting in a book that celebrates the Russian kitchen while also providing a fresh perspective that infects even a cynical reader with enthusiasm.”
