Praise for Baltic: New and Old Recipes from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania

'Simon Bajada's enticing and inspiring cookbook Baltic is an ode to a region that, though influenced by outsiders, remains all its own. Bajada presents the post-Soviet cuisines of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as diverse and responsive. They draw upon tradition, playing with spices from periods of Byzantine trading and tricks learned under Soviet restrictions, but they also shift and change according to the bounty of the farmer's market and the local environment.' - Foreword Reviews
