Reader Reviews:
Fascinating insight into the food and culture of Ukraine. (15/15 people found this helpful)
I couldn't wait to get cooking! Vereneky's, Borsch - my favourites - they tasted every bit as good as my Ukrainian Father used to cook for me.
The section on Christmas Eve told of the same traditions and recipes that I remember from Christmases past.
Name days, Easter, feasts and celebrations throughout the year are all covered with traditional recipes and accounts of the traditions that occur at these times.
A great variety of recipes to keep trying including pastas, breads, cheesecakes,tortes, meat and fish dishes. Be prepared to spend time preparing the foods and you will be rewarded. There are some delicious recipes to try (such as "Short White Torte") as well as some that the English palate will not find so enjoyable. Pesonally, I think I might give the "Veal Tongue with Garlic Mayonnaise" a miss!
I wanted a book that would tell me more about the culture of Ukrainian festivals as well as the food cooked at these times. This book delivers both - the most original birthday present I've ever received.
