After nearly a month of travelling in this fascinating, multifaceted, rich in soil and people’s stories, land, I would like to invite you to sample the delights of my exploration.
And it is not all about salo, if you wondered.
Ukrainian feasting.
When: Sunday 18 September 2011, noon.
Where: secret location in Wood Green.
Who: 12 places max
What’s on the menu?
I’ll be galloping, no strolling, through different Ukrainian regions, just my current thoughts:
Trans-Carpathian Banush
(luscious polenta-like stew of corn, home-made sourcream and shkvarki)
Banush, from the border with Moldova.
Aubergine and tomatoes stacks from Nikolaev
(my mum’s family’s recipe)
Lviv oladushki
(plump little pancakes, made with a secret ingredient)
Kievan okroshka
(exquisite cold soup made with kefir)
Syrnik
(best dessert I’ve had in Ukraine, made with home-made farmer’s cheese)
Syrnik from the Carpathian mountains.
and, of course,
the (now!) world famous salo.
Salo - the king of all foods.
£25 per person, which will include a couple of alcoholic drinks and at least 6 courses. Plus, my stories, Ukrainian music and some very authentic tableware…
Email me at RussianBrunchClub {at} hotmail.co.uk to book a place.
Count me in!! Well done! I am looking forward to your cooking and stories!!!
Hi Katrina,
Thanks for entertaining us all yesterday. I had a fantastic time as I’m sure everyone else did. You really did put a lot of effort into the food – and it showed!
It was fun ‘learning as we ate’. In fact I learned a lot, as I ate a lot
As I’ve just mentioned in my blog post, I would highly recommend it to anyone, whether they are a foodie, or just want a fun meal out.
Hope to see you again soon!!!
Paul
