I can't wait to have this book in my hands! The photos are enticing, and the stories of where the food comes from and how the dishes link to lived experiences will be so fun and engaging.

Thank you so much, Sarah! there are no specific recipes from Lithuania but i think there are some recipes you'll find familiar like cold beet soup, marinated/pickled tomatoes, smoked mackerel, stuffed cabbage rolls, stuffed buns, etc. :)
