Leftover Salami and Sour Cream, that’s what I wanted to use up today. I instantly thought of cooking ‘Hungarian Salami, Boiled Eggs & Potato Sour Cream Bake’, but I decided to use Pumpkin. I didn’t want to bother making Boiled Eggs. So, what I did was very simple as you can read below. The result …

This salad is known as ‘Dniester’ Salad in Ukraine. Is that true? Smoked Sausage is used for this salad, but it is impossible for me to find Ukrainian Smoked Sausage. I heard that Polish ‘Kielbasa’ is similar to Ukrainian Smoked Sausage. If you can find ‘Kielbasa’, you may wish to try it. For most Australians, …
Because I have been cooking Ukrainian dishes lately, I always have Sour Cream and Dill in my fridge. I just mixed leftover Azuki Beans and steamed Sweet Potato with Sour Cream. I also added Dill.

When I was looking for Ukrainian foods on the internet and came across ‘Walnuts Stuffed Prunes’, I was not very interested. I was not a big fan of Dried Prunes, though I was fully aware of the health benefit of Prunes. ‘Walnuts Stuffed Prunes’ should be super easy to make, so I made a few. …
According to the ‘Cherry Varenyky’ recipes I found, I should use fresh Cherries. Cherry season in Melbourne is December. It’s March now.

Lviv is a beautiful cultural city in western Ukraine, near the border with Poland. It is known as a centre of art, literature, music and theatre.

There are many restaurants in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital city, but many Japanese tourists recommend a restaurant called ‘Puzata Hata’. They say ‘Puzata Hata’ offers many Ukrainian dishes at very reasonable prices, and it is easy to choose the dishes as you don’t need to worry about language difficulties at all. That sounds really good to …
I was looking at many beautiful places in Ukraine on the internet, and found a place called ‘Yaremche’. I was dreaming of visiting this beautiful place and I checked some restaurants and cafes in the city as I have strong interests in those places.
