Evgen Klopotenko has released the book "The Authentic Ukrainian Kitchen" in English.

The book gathers recipes from Ukrainian cuisine, ranging from breads and appetizers to desserts and beverages from all regions of the country. Readers will discover several variations of borscht, how to make dumplings and light garlic rolls, as well as boiled dumplings, fried potato pancakes, sweet and savory breakfasts, salads and sauces, nut cake, and more.

Additionally, Klopotenko shares his own perspective on using vegetables, discusses new approaches to fermentation and pickling, and more.

"These recipes are the result of many years of research into regional Ukrainian culinary traditions. Without layers of propaganda, collectivization, and other harmful Soviet influences that altered the trajectory of our tradition," says Klopotenko.

Previously available in the USA and UK only on pre-order.

 

 

"Klopotenko celebrates Ukrainian cuisine both as ancient and traditional with certain product limitations, and as modern and innovative, where borscht and rye bread take on new forms and flavors," describes the publication by the American Library Association's Booklist.

"If you are far from home right now but have a longing to feel it — taste it. And share this taste with foreign friends. Because through food, you can become an ambassador of Ukraine," comments Evgen Klopotenko. "For example, after the release of the book 'The Authentic Ukrainian Kitchen: Recipes from a Native Chef' in the USA and UK, worldwide searches for 'national Ukrainian cuisine' increased by 2000%. These people will now know a little more about our identity without the Soviet-era residue. Isn't that wonderful?"
