  • About

Listed here are ingredients that appear in Molokhovets’ recipes. The ingredients are given in alphabetical order without reference to the frequency with which they were used. Most were used daily, some only for guests, others very rarely, and a few—like Limburger cheese and pigeons’ eggs—were mentioned without being used. Although I have tried to make these lists as complete as possible, a few items may have escaped my notice.
