This was just a delight. Well-researched, with lots of individual, firsthand stories to bring the history to life. I have Russian Mennonite ancestry through my paternal grandfather and though many of the foods have been part of family celebrations all my life, I didn't know much about the Russian Mennonite history or culture beyond those (incredibly delicious, oh my goodness if you've never had Verenikje and Portzilkje you're missing out) foods.

I loved reading about the Sunday afternoon "visiting" tradition. Whole families would just pop over to people's houses for snacks after lunch on Sundays. No prior notice required - everyone expected company on Sunday afternoons. If someone came to your house and you were off visiting someplace else, they just picked another family to visit. The kind of thing that was possible with tight-knit communities, a well-kept Sabbath, and a spirit of generous hospitality.
