Some people have already written to me asking for the book.

I wasn’t planning to rush this part.
But perhaps it’s time.

“Where the Macaroni Grows” is now available.

I send it personally — slowly, carefully — the way it should be.

If you feel this is your kind of book, just write to me.
I’ll tell you how to get it.

Sometimes people ask me:

Is this really a children’s story?

I never know how to answer.

Because children read it differently.
Adults read it differently.
And sometimes — the same person reads it differently every year.

So I usually say:

It’s a story about food.
And about what people become when they don’t have enough of it.

If you want — I can send you a few pages.

A page from the book.

We know this too: even unbelievable things someday can and do happen.

There was a cat — Virgil — who had lived through things no cat should ever have to endure.

And there was a rat — George — who claimed he was from London.

He was born in a dumpster outside a restaurant.
Later, he ended up inside a box of macaroni.
The box was loaded onto a steamer.
And the steamer went to sea.

Strange journeys often begin without permission.

And somehow — they still arrive where they must.

If you want, I can send you a few more pages.

This book began as a joke.

A question no one was supposed to take seriously:

Where do macaroni grow?

And yet — here we are.

A story about children, hunger, imagination,
and the strange way food becomes something much bigger than itself.

Not quite a fairy tale.
Not quite a cookbook.
Something in between.

“Where the Macaroni Grows”

If you’re curious — I’ll show you what’s inside.

A small fragment.

No context.
No explanations.

Just something from the book.

---

He fed them — exhausted poets, wanderers, people who had lost something they could not name — at dawn in a Moscow kitchen.

There was almost nothing in the fridge.
But somehow there was always enough.

---

If you’ve ever understood how that works — you already know what this book is about.

There is a book.

It took years to write, and even longer to understand why it had to exist.

It is not a cookbook — although there are recipes.
It is not a memoir — although everything in it is lived.

It is about food.
And about everything that hides behind it.

Soon, I will show you a few pages.

Welcome.

This is a small independent printing house.

We publish books slowly — sometimes stubbornly — about food, memory, and the quiet absurdity of everyday life.

There will be recipes here.
There will be stories.
Sometimes they will be the same thing.

If you are looking for polished marketing — you may be disappointed.
If you are looking for something that smells like real kitchens and real lives — you are in the right place.
