That delightful natural rose wine

from the Loire country stands up
well in the year 1898. Sparkling
Saumur, which is also made in the
Loire valley and is a naturally
sparkling wine produced in the
champagne manner, is too little
known and imported in this country
to be listed according to vintage

"Samovar, a Russian Cook Book"
published by the Dietz Press, Inc,
is what the motion picture people
call "a natural" since it was not
ordered by the publishers, nor writ
ten for the market. The author,
Elizavetta Dmitrovna, was pestered
to death copying her grandmother's
and mothers recipes for her friends,
as a result she had the recipes pri-
vately printed for distribution among
them. Elizavetta Dmitrovna was
born in Moscow, lived in various
parts of China, settled in the Rus
sian colony in Shanghai, met a
Richmond, Va, tobacconist, and
married him. She was caught in
this country during World War II
when she came over to put her
children in college.
The Russian recipes are simple,
everyday dishes, using the cheaper
cuts of meat and leftovers; all in.
gradients can be found in our Amer
ican groceries, the measurements
are in American terms and the in
lstructipns are simple and clear.
The names of some of the dishes
may be little on the difficult side
for you to pronounce such as "Dra-
gomirovsky Vorschmack" but the
recipe sounds like a truly delicious
dish. The book is full of fascinating
recipes for the traditional Easter
buns and breads, the pancakes and
puddings, spicy meats and fish
which she calls "Zakoussky."
