Exploring Ukrainian Cuisine
Learning Objective
I can describe the key ingredients and dishes of Ukrainian cuisine.
Key Concepts
Streecha is a Ukrainian kitchen located in the basement of a chiropractor's office that serves dishes like varenyky, borscht, and stuffed cabbage.
The Ukrainian dumplings, also known as varenyky or pierogi, are made with a dough filled with potato, onion, cheese, butter, salt, and black pepper.
Dmytro, the head of the kitchen at Streecha, came to New York from Eastern Ukraine to escape the conflict and found a second home by cooking traditional dishes and creating a space for community.
