**A culinary journey through Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania
**
In the Baltics, two worlds meet: the Baltic Sea connects Eastern Europe
and Scandinavia, bringing with it cultural exchange and culinary
influences. All three Baltic capitals, Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius, are
UNESCO World Heritage Sites, steeped in history and culture.
Amber & Rye explores this exciting part of Eastern Europe, guiding you
around the capitals, sharing stories from the locals, and discovering a
dynamic, new style of cooking. Contextualized within the Baltics' rich
history and culture, this food journey is a doorway to a deeper
understanding of what makes the region so exciting.
The recipes in this book explore new culinary horizons--grounded in
Baltic traditions yet inspired by contemporary trends--making them
modern, unique, and easy to recreate at home. In addition to the food
and stories of travel, there are snippets of poetry, literature, songs,
and proverbs, adding a rich layer of context that makes Amber & Rye a
cultural reference point for travelers as well as a showcase for the
vibrant new cuisine of the Baltic States.
