58 dishes, kept by one cook who puts their own weeknights on the shelf.
The Russia shelf
What Russia cooks when it is cooking for itself.
One catalog, seen from one kitchen. The shelf opens on what households here cooked this week and closes on what gets made in twenty minutes, because that is what a weeknight actually looks like.
