Authentic Recipes for the Hearty, Comforting Foods of Ukraine

Bring the warming, fresh and savory flavors of Ukraine and Eastern Europe into your kitchen. This beautiful and personal collection was born from Tatyana Nesteruk's authentic Ukrainian family recipes passed down through generations. From growing up in a close-knit Slavic community that gathered daily to celebrate food, Tatyana learned the art of honoring tradition while also making the recipes accessible for the modern home cook. Her simple instructions and treasure chest of time-honored dishes will have you flawlessly re-creating the food you love―or have yet to discover!

Capturing the classic tastes of Eastern Europe is easy, thanks to Tatyana’s nifty cooking hacks, such as rinsing cottage cheese to quickly transform it into the beloved tvorog (farmer’s cheese). Dive into timeless recipes like Beef and Cheese Piroshki (hand pies), Smoked Salmon and Caviar Blini and Classic Beef Borscht. Whip up epic main dishes like Shashliki (Shish Kebabs), Plov (Beef and Garlic Rice Pilaf) and Potato Latkes with Chicken, and pair them with delicious sides like Mushroom Buckwheat and Olivier Potato Salad for a truly unbeatable spread. With desserts like Sweet Cherry Pierogi and Poppy Seed Roll, you’ll be transported back to the old world with each delicious bite.

Made the stuffed cabbage rolls. Excellent. I’ll try several other recipes. So, for me the book is worth buying. All seems authentic based on my knowledge of my grandmother’s cooking. Eastern European cooking is hardy and, to generalize, uses plentiful vegetables like cabbage, potatoes, and onions.

Oh my god this book is perfect! I bought this as a gift for my gf so she could teach me how to cook some food from her childhood but this has so many recipes that we haven’t even begun to break it in yet. All these recipes are super easy to follow and there’s no ingredients that are impossible to get.

Short, Sweet, and Full of Garlic and Dill

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2021

I grew up in the U.S. since age 4 after my family moved here from Russia, so I've had my share of Russian cooking as an expat. I've had this book for a few months and have cooked or tried numerous recipes from it at this point, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The recipes are delicious, beautifully photographed, and have clear instructions. The book also has nice descriptions of how the author came to know these recipes and what they mean to her.

As a casual home cook (or rather, a co-cook with my fiancee), I like recipes with accessible ingredients which are not too convoluted to make, and this book definitely delivers on that front. Its recipes are generally (although not exclusively) straightforward both in their composition and in their preparation. The book is not incredibly long, so you won't find every famous Slavic recipe in it, but you'll find a good deal of them.

Special shout-outs to the braised cabbage and mushroom piroshki, the sprat and tomato tea sandwiches, the golubtsi (beef and mushroom cabbage rolls, which impressed the hell out of my parents when we served them), and the mind-blowing dill and garlic potatoes.

Good, but...

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2022

This book has a wide variety of recipes from super simple to a little involved.

The most complicated recipe that I have tried is the Salmon Coulbiac. I am not sure it is worth the effort since I made it for myself, but of course the author mentions that so I should have heeded that warning. It was fun to make. One complaint about the recipe is that it says to use frozen puff pastry. Do not do that! I can not emphasize that enough. Puff pastry is flour, butter, salt, and water. Frozen puff pastry in stores are made of a chemical sludge. It is worth the effort to make from scratch.

The borscht recipe is really good. I do wish that she had said why that 't' is at the end of it. There is no 't' in the Russian spelling. I guess it is like English speakers saying Moscow when it is Moskva. A real complaint about this recipe is that it says to eat it with "Rustic bread", with the 'R' capitalized so I assumed that it was a specific thing and a recipe would exist in the book. Nope.

In fact, there are few bread recipes in this, which is good and bad I suppose.

Overall, it is a solid recipe book. Most things are simple and unlike other cuisines around the world, the ingredients are easily available in bog standard grocery stores. Except buckwheat for some odd reason.

Speaking of, the chicken buckwheat soup is amazing. I hateses mushrooms, but the first time I make something new, I follow the recipe exactly. The recipe is so balanced that the nasty taste of mushrooms blends with everything making it taste really good.

Another positive are the metric measurements(it also has "standard" cups and teaspoons and whatnot) for the recipes. Cups, tea and tablespoon measurements vary fairly wildly. A gram is a gram. Recipes with metric measurements are always better. Invest in a good scale and ditch the inconsistent measuring tools in American kitchens.

Passing on traditional food

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021

I’ve already made quite a few recipes from this book and have been very pleasantly surprised! I was expecting the recipes to be a bit more complicated, but instead they are very approachable, and with ingredients that I almost always have on hand. I highly recommend this book and have definitely picked up a few family favorites. Both my husband and I have grown up with this type of food, and it’s hard to be impressed with different renditions of the same thing. Thanks, Tanya, for creating this book. I’m less hesitant to try cooking foods that always appeared to me as too difficult. I am glad to pass on the tradition of Slavic food to my family with your help!

I'm REALLY glad that I bought this book. As a chef in training, I love learning and expanding my knowledge of cooking different recipes. Learning about Eastern European cooking is a lot of fun and helps with cooking something different each week. My family and myself aren't from Europe, but I love these dishes in this book! As a kid, I was always fascinated by Russia, and it's culture. I'm extremely happy that the recipes are authentic and not 'Westernized' as a lot cookbooks tend to do. I made the Chicken Buckwheat Soup last week, and I wish I had made more! :P My family loved it!

Absolutely love this cookbook. I decided to buy it after seeing the author's YouTube videos and deciding to make borsch following her recipe. My Ukrainian friend said it was excellent and reminded her of home. I immediately ordered this cookbook which is filled with classical and crowd pleasing eastern European dishes. I was impressed by the large amount of recipes, beautiful photos and clear instructions. Both imperial and metric units are given in the book, which saved me a lot of conversion troubles. This book will get a prominent spot in my kitchen!
