A Note of Solidarity
Today, Ukraine faces an unprovoked and brutal invasion by Russia, with the Ukrainian people enduring an incredibly harsh war. As we celebrate and preserve Ukrainian culinary heritage through recipes like this, it is important to acknowledge the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people during these difficult times. My heart stands with all Ukrainians. I wish Ukraine and its people victory and the swiftest possible peace.
