Publisher's Synopsis
Ukrainian cuisine is a characteristic style of cooking, practice, and traditions associated with Ukrainian culture, and culinary art in Ukraine. A lot of food products are subjected to a complex heat processing - at first, they are fried or boiled, and then stewed or baked. This is the most distinctive feature of Ukrainian cuisine.
This complex heat processing allows to preserve the aroma of the dishes and gives them juiciness. Especially tasty and healthy are the dishes of meat and vegetables - cabbage rolls with meat, Volynian krucheniki, beef larded with beets, etc. Ukrainian dishes are known for their variety and high taste qualities. Ukrainian cuisine includes hundreds of recipes: borscht and pampushki, flat cakes and dumplings, mushroom sauce, banosh, vareniki and sausages, drinks from fruits and honey, etc. Some dishes have a centuries-old history, for example, Ukrainian borscht.
