Eclecticism is supposed to be the most precise term for cuisine! But all this abundance of tastes is united by a system of check and balances - the laws of kashrut. It manages all the culinary process both in Africa and Saint-Petersburg. Igor Vukolov learns how to prepare stuffed carp and famous vorschmack* according to all the rules of kashrut. *In Jewish cuisine, vorschmack is made of chopped herring, without meat, sometimes adding chopped hard-boiled egg and grated fresh apple.
