Fabulous recipes to cook over and over again

In 2016, when I was cooking for the Football European Cup (ie. cooking a different traditional dish for every team playing in the evening that day), I had a lot of difficulty finding appropriate Ukrainian recipes. I needed at least 2 (more if Ukraine had gotten through to the knockout stage), and for the second evening, had to resort to Ukrainian Nemiroff Birch Vodka (our rules state that only food and alcohol of the respective countries playing may be consumed). It was made worse by the fact that Russia was also playing, and many of my cookbooks did not differentiate between Russian and Ukrainian food (or that of any other ex-Soviet country). Nowadays, everyone is much more aware of Ukraine as an independent country, and I wanted to know more about its own culture and cuisine. So, when I saw this book advertised, I had to get it.
It is much more than ‘just’ Ukrainian recipes, it is a celebration of food eaten in Ukraine – from all over the ex-Soviet Union – each recipe stating which country the cuisine originates from, if not Ukraine. In the introduction, the author states:
“Despite my strong Ukrainian identity, I have always cherished and taken pride in the cultural diversity that we were so lucky to enjoy in Ukraine. My paternal grandmother is Siberian, my mother has Jewish and Bessarabian (Moldovan) roots, my father was born in Uzbekistan and we have Armenian relatives and Ossetian friends. This book is an ode to all those women (and men) that I was raised by and grew up with, and the food they lovingly prepared. It’s food so familiar to me that I hadn’t realized it was something special until I became a chef, and even more so when the conflict in Ukraine erupted, prompting me into frantically documenting the recipes that I was so scared I might suddenly lose. This is the stuff of my childhood, a life that I want to share with you in order to dispel the myths about my home country and its surrounding areas, and to give the messy geo-political mosaic a human face.”
The diversity of the recipes took me by surprise, and has awakened in me an interest in finding out more about the cuisines of Georgia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Armenia – and all the other Eastern European countries. I really shouldn’t have been surprised, as the Soviet Union was much bigger than Western Europe, and France (or Italy) alone have so many traditional foods specific to tiny regions. Ukraine itself is vast, with quite different climates in the north, south east and west – so rationally you would expect different regional cuisines. However, for people of my age (late 50s), it was too easy to think of all countries behind the Iron Curtain as some sort of amorphous block, all slurping on Borscht and drinking vodka. Now I know much better.
Now to the book and recipes. I have tried 9 of the recipes – all were really easy to follow and to make, and only one (the Stuffed Cage leaves) was not excellent – but I think that was down to me, not the recipe. I would certainly try it again – blanching the cabbage leaves a lot longer, and using a knife (instead of just a spoon and fork) to eat it. Most recipes I tried, I will add to my repertoire, but my favourites were the “Cold Beetroot Soup”, the “Armenian Soup with Lamb and Prune Meatballs”, the “Grilled Vegetable Caviar”, the Georgian Kidney Bean Salad”, “Chilli and Garlic Cucumber”, and the “Azerbaijani Rice and Fruity Lamb”. I also really enjoyed the “Armenian Roasted Vegetables”, “Potato Cakes with Goats Cheese”, and must try the “Cured Mackerel” and pickled (or soured) recipes. Tonight, I am having the second helping of the beautiful “Cold Beetroot Soup” – an amazing rich ruby red colour, which would be perfect to serve to visiting Vegans (or anyone else!), and the left-over “Grilled Vegetable Caviar” (it lasts a long time in the fridge) on bread.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes cooking (or just reading about) good and interesting food.

Nostalgic cooking for me

Beautifully written cooking book. I'll use it in my cooking for sure. Olia's versions of dumplings and soups are so near my Mum's cooking and cucumber/tomato/radish salad is something I remember from my childhood.

Broths, breads, dumplings - and all things fermented from Ukraine and environs

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 22 dicembre 2021

Part memoir, arguably part manifesto (making the case for the ‘mamushka’ approach to life) and of course cookbook too. Recipes galore from Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Moldova and a fair few places further afar, and in between. Sorrel, beetroot, cucumber, chickpeas and so many more ingredients are covered - fermented, roasted, stuffed, steamed and more. Piquant, sweet, sour recipes clearly laid out with the promise of satisfying appetites large and small. That said, mainly large.

Collection of lovely recipes with some review required

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 10 novembre 2019

I really enjoyed this cookbook. The recipes are a solid combination of bright and fresh, as well as home-y and warm, with a good variety of complexities levels as well. One thing I will say is that the entire book seems to have a number of errors, with entire steps just blatantly missing from recipes. For example, the chicken broth and dumplings recipe suggest a whole chicken, sectioned into 8 chunks, is boiled as part of the broth. It does not have a step suggesting you pull out the chicken parts, de-bone and shred, despite the accompanying picture showing just that. I would recommend it in spite of the issues - read your recipe before and consider where you may need to do some googling to fill the gaps in some of the doughes, etc - but subsequent releases need a serious review and edit.

Highly Recommended Book for All Creative Food Lovers

Recensito in Germania 🇩🇪 il 13 febbraio 2020

This book is a fine presentation of the most wonderful and distinctively delicate and flavourful (unfortunately lesser known) cuisine of Ukraine and beyond. Mouthwatering resipes, authentic original flavours with a most creative way of cooking. I love the superb and delicate combination of herbs, spices and a wonderful range of fresh and local ingredients used in the recipes of this book. Also, world famous pickles from Ukraine and its neighbour regions are well presented in this wonderful book. I love the mouthwatering original recipe for a delicious 'borshch', the famous beetroot & beef soup, actually orginating from the Ukraine. It is served with a special fresh Ukrainian garlic bread called 'pampushky' (basted with a garlic-parsley sauce)... I am also overwhelmed by the huge variety of veg, meat&fish dishes, pastry, bread, sweets and deserts... I highly recommend this fabulous book to any food lover, food traveller or cook - absolutely inspiring!
