I wanted to know more about the beguiling Nina, and my
cousin had plenty of stories to share. He told me that her
grandfather was a Russian serf-a farmer who could be
bought and sold by the noble who owned his land. Family
legend has it that this serf, a remarkable and intelligent
man, helped to change the course of the history of sugar.

Europe. As a result, their rivals were desperate to find a
new way to create sugar. They turned to beets.

beet sugar sparkling hues. People from Russia to the
cafés of Vienna could now buy cheap and attractive sugar
produced on European soil.
