Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story of Ukrainian resilience and love for their country and culture! The description of the food made me so hungry! Kharkiv is such a special place ❤️❤️🩹
Oh wow, I have three days in Kharkiv coming up and now I'm going to have to try to sneak in a visit here between delivering humanitarian aid and picking up body armour... such is Kharkiv.
So overnight trains don’t sell food, only cups of tea and coffee. I had a cereal bar in my bag - and at around midnight the train stopped at a tiny station for long enough for passengers to get off and buy snacks or warm pyrizhky pies from people who cycle up and down the platform - I did buy a pie but then fell asleep before I managed to get around to it.
I hope you are collecting all these recipes on your travels Felicity - how about a book for a fund raiser? Then we can share the flavours of Ukraine from far away. 💙
I am finishing writing a book which will be published next year, although it is stories rather than recipes. If it makes any profits all of it will go to Ukraine!

It really is. I wish more than anything that they will have a peaceful life again soon.
Also, I have been following Olia Fedorova on Instagram for several years. She is incredibly talented and her artwork is very powerful!
She is such a talent! We first met in Kharkiv 2 years ago. Frustratingly I have yet to see her work, I keep missing the chance but it will happen
Best restaurant in Kharkiv ❤️
100%!
Me too!
So beautiful, I’m a bit jealous of these adventures and want to eat all the food. 💙💛
Ukraine really does have amazing food!
Kharkiv! a new one for me, thank you for sharing!
My pleasure, it is a wonderful place
What a delicious and truthful description of Ukrainian food&spirit, thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! The place is very dear to me!

Hope you’re managing ok in Zapo… and best of luck with the aid delivery!! One of these days we will meet up - maybe even in Snidanishna!
How much food did you eat on the train? That's what I want to know. About your upcoming book, distribution is king.

I never liked them cold which you would have after you woke up.
I’m happy to hear that Felicity and I will be sure to buy it!
Thank you!!
