Why read it?
1 author picked Salt & Time as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book takes you to a place that not many people will travel to in their lifetime: Siberia.
While it isn’t strictly a food and travel book–the author was born in Siberia, and this is her take on Russian food–it does involve a journey back to the place of her birth. Other journeys also feature in the narrative, as Alissa’s Jewish ancestors undertook many journeys before settling in Siberia.
Read this book if you like to explore the road less travelled.
From Zuza's list on travelling through food.
