This compendium of Ukrainian cookery contains more than just your typical babka and borshch--it features more than 200 authentic Ukranian recipes with the special touch that, until now, only a Ukrainian grandmother could provide. The Best of Ukrainian Cuisine gives away grandmother's trade secrets, enabling cooks to create everything from a simple salad to an entire Ukrainian feast. Living up to its name, this cookbook offers recipes for Ukrainian favorites, such as kasha (buckwheat groats), potato pancakes, and stuffed cabbage, along with popular contemporary dishes like pike sautéed in sour cream and apple babka. The inventive cooking techniques and wide variety of ingredients found in Ukrainian cuisine provide dishes that are rich in flavor and nutrition, as well as easy to prepare. Includes a complete list of menu items in Ukrainian and English.

A Charming and Authentic Book!,
By "globalepicure" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of Ukrainian Cuisine (Hippocrene International Cookbook Series) (Paperback)
An American with family members who make regular trips to Ukraine, I have some knowledge of the hearty and delicious cuisine of that wonderful country. I love this book because it presents the cuisine as it actually is in the towns of Ukraine. You are not presented with bastardized, Americanized recipes, but with the authentic cookery you would experience during a visit to a normal, middle class home. The book starts with a brief foreword on Ukrainian food traditions. In the back there is an 8-page bilingual dictionary of food terms and phrases to use in restaurants. In between, the book is packed with both traditional and contemporary recipes for everything from appetizers to main dishes to sweets and even a substantial section on beverages both alcoholic and not, and recipes for making several different kinds of beer. I highly recomment this book.

Not a REAL Ukrainian Cookbook,

This review is from: The Best of Ukrainian Cuisine (Hippocrene International Cookbook Series) (Paperback)
Being Ukrainian, I got this cookbook with the expectation of seeing some new and interesting recipes I'd never seen before. Instead I found things I've NEVER heard of being called Ukrainian recipes. It was definitely not even worth the shipping cost, let alone the time I spent looking through it. I hope the next Ukrainian cookbook I get is better than this one.

don't waste your time with this one.,

This review is from: The Best of Ukrainian Cuisine (Hippocrene International Cookbook Series) (Paperback)
Excited to find the best of Ukrainian cuisine won't work with this book unless you're still on a farm in some other decade. Or you like cooking with lard, grinding meat, and of course removing organs and bones from pigs - oh, yum! The author's translations in the back of the book from English to Ukrainian for ordering meals are worth a laugh. However, I think he's serious. Pass this book up.
