The Very Tzimus: Tastes and Aromas of Belarusian-Jewish Cuisine Here is a new, unusual book. About Jewish and Belarusian cuisine at the same time. And even more: about the kitchen of three historical characters who lived on the same land for a while: a peasant, a gentleman, a local craftsman and a merchant. How is this possible? After all, the gentleman, the Jew, and the peasant – having different consciousness and different traditions – ate the same krupnik, although they cooked them a little differently and ate them for different occasions. This book is about iconic communal dishes of three cultures. 15 essays and several dozen original recipes from the great connoisseur of historical cuisine Ales Bely.
