Product Description

Product Description

This compendium of Ukrainian cookery contains more than just your typical babka and borshch--it features more than 200 authentic Ukranian recipes with the special touch that, until now, only a Ukrainian grandmother could provide. The Best of Ukrainian Cuisine gives away grandmother's trade secrets, enabling cooks to create everything from a simple salad to an entire Ukrainian feast.

Living up to its name, this cookbook offers recipes for Ukrainian favorites, such as kasha (buckwheat groats), potato pancakes, and stuffed cabbage, along with popular contemporary dishes like pike sautéed in sour cream and apple babka. The inventive cooking techniques and wide variety of ingredients found in Ukrainian cuisine provide dishes that are rich in flavor and nutrition, as well as easy to prepare. Includes a complete list of menu items in Ukrainian and English.

Format:Paperback
This is a great resource for any Ukrainian home. It goes far beyond the typical courses associated with Ukrainian cuisine and even provides regional variation recipes of national dishes (ex., borscht), each with their own distinct style/flavours/ingredients/techniques. I do recommend doing a 'pilot test' of the recipes in advance of your special evening. These recipes were taken/translated from Ukraine and some ingredients, such as flour, milk, etcetera are slightly different in north america and can affect your outcome. However, there are many recipes that will not be affected, but where the techniques and your personal taste/seasoning preferences will be more important. It is an extremely valuable resource and many friends like to borrow it! I would highly recommend it - there aren't very many available like this AND in English! Thank you, Bohdan, for this lovely resource! Slava Ukraina!

A Charming and Authentic Book! 8 Sep 2003
By "globalepicure" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
An American with family members who make regular trips to Ukraine, I have some knowledge of the hearty and delicious cuisine of that wonderful country. I love this book because it presents the cuisine as it actually is in the towns of Ukraine. You are not presented with bastardized, Americanized recipes, but with the authentic cookery you would experience during a visit to a normal, middle class home.

The book starts with a brief foreword on Ukrainian food traditions. In the back there is an 8-page bilingual dictionary of food terms and phrases to use in restaurants. In between, the book is packed with both traditional and contemporary recipes for everything from appetizers to main dishes to sweets and even a substantial section on beverages both alcoholic and not, and recipes for making several different kinds of beer.

I highly recomment this book.

Not a REAL Ukrainian Cookbook 22 April 2010
By Lisa Oprysk - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being Ukrainian, I got this cookbook with the expectation of seeing some new and interesting recipes I'd never seen before. Instead I found things I've NEVER heard of being called Ukrainian recipes. It was definitely not even worth the shipping cost, let alone the time I spent looking through it. I hope the next Ukrainian cookbook I get is better than this one.

don't waste your time with this one. 21 Aug 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Excited to find the best of Ukrainian cuisine won't work with this book unless you're still on a farm in some other decade. Or you like cooking with lard, grinding meat, and of course removing organs and bones from pigs - oh, yum! The author's translations in the back of the book from English to Ukrainian for ordering meals are worth a laugh. However, I think he's serious. Pass this book up.
