       Fruits and vegetables, grown under the hot sun in rich Ukrainian soil have natural taste of real natural products. Since old times our national cooking has been famous for great variety of tasty and useful dishes.  For example, the most popular dish called borsch, has up to 20 components.  A big plate of good borsch gives a person enough energy for a half of working day.

         Bread is a big part of our cuisine. Potatoes, cabbage, fish, mushrooms, pork, beef, chicken and sausage are very common.  Ukrainian cuisine includes a lot of salads made from fresh, boiled or pickled vegetables with some meat  and with the addition of mayonnaise or vegetable oil.    Favourite dishes made of flour are dumplings (“varenyky) with various types of filling: cheese, cabbage, meat, berries.
