Wanda Frolov

One of the Modern Library Food Series which has re-published some great food writing, under the editorship of Ruth Reichl, of the late, lamented Gourmet magazine (I know there's online stuff, but it's just not the same). As well as a delightful narrative, this book has very detailed recipes provided by the title cook, who emigrated from Russia to Los Angeles in the 1920s. The book originally appeared as a series of articles in Gourmet magazine in the 1940s.
