Cooking from BUDMO! A Ukrainian Summer Lunch with Anna Voloshyna
Six Dutchess in the Kitchen | Live, Hands-On Virtual Class
Taught by Anna Voloshyna and hosted by Six Dutchess Farm.
This class represents the essence of the late summer garden and all there is to love about Ukrainian summer cooking: vibrant colors, fresh and light flavors, the loveliest seasonal ingredients, and the act of gathering together at the table with food and friends.
We'll pick the freshest summer tomatoes, zucchini, alliums, fresh herbs, and fish and cook our way through some of Anna's favorite recipes from her soon-to-be-released cookbook, BUDMO! Recipes from a Ukrainian Kitchen. All dishes are inspired by the rich and diverse traditions of Eastern European cuisine, and our menu will include Anna's Mom's legendary spicy and sour tomatoes! We'll cook a bountiful summer meal together, virtually, while you learn all about Ukrainian and Eastern European food history, hospitality, culinary culture and the meaning behind BUDMO.
Here is our menu for the afternoon:
Mom’s Famous Spicy and Sour Tomatoes
Panfried Zucchini with Light Sour Cream, Herbs, and Crispy Shallots
Lavash-Wrapped Halibut with Summer Alliums & Herbs
Bonus Recipe: Karpatka Cake
This class will be limited to 25 registrants, first-come, first-served.
