A Gift to Young Housewives (Russian: Пода́рок молоды́м хозя́йкам, romanized: Podarok molodym khozyaykam) is a Russian cookbook written and compiled by Elena Ivanovna Molokhovets [ru] and usually referred to as "Molokhovets" rather than its long title. It was the most successful book of its kind in the 19th and early 20th-century in Russia.[1] Molokhovets revised the book continually between 1861 and 1917, a period of time falling between the emancipation of the serfs and the Communist Revolution. The book was well known in Russian households during publication and for decades afterwards.[2] It was republished in 2003.[3]
