Книга посвящена истокам мирочувствования русского народа, сложившимся в языческую эпоху. Одним из наиболее ярких его проявлений является "Голубиная книга" - священное сказание наших далеких предков, в котором они выразили свое представление о происхождении Вселенной и человека. Ядро этого древнейшего произведения русской духовной культуры сложилось как минимум 5000 лет назад.

Leave it to America's Test Kitchen to help you get a perfectly scaled dinner for two on the table--no guesswork required. Because small households, newlyweds, empty nesters, college students, and other two-person families shouldn't have to rely on recipes meant to serve four or six, we've reengineered our favorite dinner recipes from the ground up. We used equipment in unexpected ways, such as ramekins to make individual Chicken Pot Pies, and also found clever techniques for scaling recipes with ease, such as swapping in smaller blade steaks for a large chuck roast to make a streamlined Yankee Pot Roast for just two.
