A group of chefs in Kyiv are cooking restaurant quality food for soldiers on the front line: we went to try it for ourselves before they set off on their next trip to Eastern Ukraine.
Sometimes your posts bring tears to the eyes, Felicity. Today's piece about imaginative and industrious chefs making home cooking for the soldiers in the field is an important one. Food is such an essential part of life, and I simply take it for granted -- until the freezer breaks down, as it did this week. Thank you for the love this piece demonstrates about your friends, and how “Ukraine will win because even after a generation, they (the Russians) failed to break our desire to reach for light and love - and not like them, for darkness and hatred” -- “We are for our children and the future, for the light of freedom.” -- "Valerii says he’s looking forward to victory - and to new culinary challenges. As if anything could be more of a challenge than creating thousands of restaurant quality meals for soldiers fighting on the front lines." It's true, "If they can do that - they can surely do anything, anywhere." Слава Україні!
Thank you! They are truly a great group of guys - I just found them ages ago on Instagram and finally went to meet them the other day, which was wonderful. Volunteering is hard and delivering to really dangerous places is even harder - but they keep on going and really care about the defenders they cook for - I have a huge amount of respect for them
Thank you, I’ve spent time with military cooks who take great pride in providing the best food they can - it really can help to raise morale in the most exhausting and stressful times

I truly believe that a delicious meal made with love makes everyone feel lighter even in the most difficult circumstances. Great piece again Felicity.
Thank you so much! Support really means a lot!
Ahhh! A remarkable remedy for NDD “Nurture Deficit Disorder” on the front lines.
This story illustrates the triple healing power of “food from home”, loving kindness, and courage.
My 6 year old grand-monkey Rex said for his birthday he wanted a pizza with Ukrainian Bacon.
