Cabbage soup and kvass are about 19th century Russia – and a record-breaking sentence.
Never before have there been so many emails and so many different opinions about a bestseller: some searched through “Stay away from Gretchen” while reading it, others put it away halfway through. Jan and Katharina are also split: Good story, but too much cliché! Guest Clemens Meyer raves about a book in one sentence – which is, however, 480 pages long. And with the (delicious) cabbage soup you can immerse yourself in the work of Dostoyevsky, whose 200th birthday is being celebrated this year (naaaa, who remembers his big hits?) – the typical Russian drink kvass takes some getting used to.

I want to get you rolls right away, but don’t you want cabbage soup instead of the sausage? Very good cabbage soup, from yesterday. I set some aside for you yesterday, but you got home so late. Very good cabbage soup!
