Cooking in Sorrow: A Manual for Interacting with Ukrainians and Food - Євгенія Кузнєцова

This book is your chance to understand Ukraine and Ukrainians — and to enjoy the journey.

Ukraine is going through tough times and has been through tough times before. Sorrow has accumulated. But so has Ukrainians’ ability to make fun of almost any situation, to laugh through the greatest hardships, and to produce delicious, abundant food from whatever is available. A lighthearted and probably inaccurate guide to Ukrainian culture through the prism of its cuisine, illustrated by 30 Ukrainian artists. This book does not contain recipes but aims to make you wish it did.
