The Veselka CookbookThe Veselka Cookbook
Tom Birchard
Veselka began life as a newstand selling soups and sandwiches more than 50 years ago in New York's East Village. Without ever changing location it has become a 24 hour eatery, still serving the best in Ukranian comfort food; borscht, pierogi, goulash, and famous pancakes are all staples. Recipes here include traditional Ukranian dishes such as stuffed cabbage, as well as more traditionally American, like mac and cheese. There are also some New York favourites, like Black and White cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies alongside Ukrainian poppy seed cake and apple crumb cake. Great for a comfort food fix. Some colour photos. Hardcover, 257 pp. $35.99.


The Best of Croation CookingCanadianThe Best of Croation Cooking, Expanded Edition
Liliana Pavicic & Gordana Pirker-Mosher
This is the book on authentic Croatian cuisine, which is a lot more varied and interesting than many would suspect. Plenty of fish reflect its coastal location, and game dishes are familiar in the more wooded regions. The best recipes though are those for the many strudels, both sweet and savory. Desserts often reflect an Austrian influence in other ways too. There is also a guide to Croation regions, traditions, and a new section on the country's wine. 10% of all proceeds go to War Child Canada to support children in the former Yugoslavia. Sosftcover, 311 pp. $18.50.
