This book is great for all aspects of Estonian cooking. I am an Estonian-American 1st generation living in Australia. I have tried for years to do the 'Kringel", festive raisin bread, and all have been sorry attempts. This is the only book that has taken me through it step by step, and this Easter it was terrific. Exactly as my mother used to do. The same with the other receipes, although there are various American additives used which are not available overseas, ie 'Knorr aromatic seasoning'. , 'Old Bay seasoning'. I either do not use it, or use something else. So far it has not proven to be a great obstacle, only a slight irritant.
