If there’s some­thing that Sovi­et cui­sine and the lit­er­a­ture sur­round­ing it has taught the world, it’s how to cel­e­brate in grand style in times of bleak­ness and uncer­tain­ty. Join food jour­nal­ist Gabriel­la Ger­shen­son in con­ver­sa­tion with cook­book author Bon­nie Morales, chef-own­er of the restau­rant Kach­ka in Port­land, Ore­gon, and Boris Fish­man, author of the lav­ish­ly food-focused mem­oir Sav­age Feast, for a dis­cus­sion of vod­ka, salty snacks, and the Sovi­et Jew­ish appetite as a writer’s muse.

Find an inter­view with Bon­nie and Boris in the forth­com­ing issue of Paper Brigade.
