What You’ll Experience

One of the best ways to know better the local traditions of the country is to try the national cuisine. On a cheerful cooking class in a local kitchen, you will not only eat but also learn to cook traditional Ukrainian dishes – borsch and varenyky. You’ll be welcome at a local apartment, where private class takes place. A friendly host will tell you interesting facts about eating traditions of Ukrainians, and you will get a bunch of positive emotions and new skills. You don’t have to be a professional chef to cook the most famous Ukrainian dishes – borsch and varenyky. Your guide will give you step-by-step instructions on cooking these tasty dishes. Firstly, you’ll chop all the ingredients for the borsch – cabbage, potato, carrot, beetroot, onion etc. While the borsch boils, you’ll master the technique of making perfectly shaped varenyky under the guidance of the host. The best part of the tour is when you enjoy a traditional Ukrainian dinner, prepared by yourself in a friendly company. Overall, this workshop is a great possibility to improve your cooking skills and learn new recipes that will make your relatives and friends understand your new obsession with Ukrainian cuisine.

Great experience, and great to support locals

My parents visited me in August 2019 while I was living in Ukraine. This experience was a highlight for them, and they still tell their friends stories, especially because of the “at home” feel!
