The Taste of Ukraine

We welcome you to the Culinary Literacy Center stolovaya—a cafeteria-style buffet—featuring classic dishes prepared the Ukrainian way. We celebrate the country’s culture and food with the opportunity to taste items you’d find at a traditional Ukrainian table: potato pierogies (varenyky), borscht with pampushky (Ukrainian garlic bread), crepes (blini) with sweet cottage cheese and berries, and beet kvass. In addition to sampling these dishes, participants will receive recipes, discuss how these preparations are unique, and learn about their significance in Ukrainian culture.

All dishes served are vegetarian; please notify us of any food restrictions in advance by emailing [email protected].

This free program is presented in collaboration with the Free Library of Philadelphia’s Art and Literature Departments, and part of a series on Ukrainian culture, funded by a grant for the Civic Engagement of Pennsylvanians. Other interdepartmental workshops and lectures can be found on the Free Library of Philadelphia calendar of events.
