Kyiv Cake
The history of this cake began in 1956 at the Kyiv Confectionery Factory (now "Roshen"). According to legend, its creation was the result of a mistake when confectioners accidentally left egg whites for a sponge cake overnight, and they crystallized. Instead of throwing them away, the chefs decided to experiment – and thus, the crispy meringue-nut layers, which became the cake's signature feature, were born.
The classic Kyiv Cake has two main flavors:
- Crispy nutty meringue layers (usually made with cashews or hazelnuts).
- "Charlotte" buttercream, made with condensed milk.
While not the oldest dish in Ukrainian cuisine, it has long become a part of it. Kyiv Cake is a symbol of the city, and for many tourists, it is a must-try gastronomic souvenir.

Ukrainian food is always delicious 🇺🇦
Borsch, varenyky - all of it is incredibly delicious. But for me, deruny occupy a special place 🫶🏻
I don't cook them that often, but if I see them on a menu, the choice is obvious. The most delicious deruny I've ever tasted were in Zakarpattia: crispy, ruddy, with a delicate texture inside - just perfect.
🥔 If you want to make them yourself, here's a simple recipe :
✅ Ingredients:
- 5-6 potatoes
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion
- 2-3 tbsp of flour
- Salt and pepper - to taste
- Oil for frying
🔥 Preparation:
1. Grate potatoes on a fine grater, add grated onion, egg, flour, salt and pepper.
2. Mix well to make the mass homogeneous.
3. Spoon onto a preheated frying pan with vegetable oil, fry on both sides until golden brown.
4. Serve hot with sour cream or your favorite sauce.

Pumpkin is an integral part of Ukrainian cuisine, especially in autumn. It is grown in almost every region, and housewives have been creating hearty and flavorful dishes from it for centuries. In the old days, pumpkin was baked in the oven with honey, added to porridge, soups were cooked on its basis, and even pies were baked.
Popular pumpkin dishes in Ukraine:
🍲 Pumpkin soup is a delicate cream soup with fried mushrooms, smoked meats or sour cream.
🥣 Porridge with pumpkin is a traditional dish made from millet or rice with milk and honey.
🥟 Dumplings with pumpkin - sweet or salty filling, sometimes with poppy seeds or nuts.
🍞 Tykvyanik is an old pastry with pumpkin added to the dough or filling.
Pumpkin is not only tasty, but also healthy – rich in vitamins, strengthens the immune system and gives energy. It is not for nothing that people call it the “golden vegetable”

Halushki is a Ukrainian national dish, especially popular in my region 🥟
They are pieces of dough boiled in boiling water. Halushki are served as a separate dish or soup with halushki is boiled.
It is very tasty, in cafes they are served with meat inside and poured with mushroom sauce. They are hearty and tender to taste.
This is a very old dish, but it is still relevant and popular. It used to be made very often because it consists of simple ingredients: water, flour, baking soda, eggs.
If I could give you the taste I would describe it as : light and fluffy like clouds ☁️
We invite you to Ukraine to taste our delicious and varied food 🇺🇦

Classic Ukrainian "deruny" - potato pancakes.
Deruny are one of the most popular dishes of Ukrainian cuisine. They are prepared quickly, from available products, and are traditionally served with sour cream.
Ingredients:
Potatoes - 5-6 pcs. (medium size)
Onion - 1 pc. (optional, but makes the deruny juicier)
Egg - 1 pc.
Flour - 1-2 tbsp. (depending on the juiciness of the potatoes)
Salt, pepper - to taste
Butter - for frying
Sour cream - for serving
Preparation:
Peel the potatoes and grate on a fine grater. If a lot of juice is released, squeeze it out slightly.
Grate or finely chop the onion (it will give the deruny softness and aroma).
Beat in the egg, add flour, salt and pepper, mix thoroughly.
Heat the frying pan with oil. Spoon the potato mixture into small pancakes.
Fry over medium heat on both sides until golden brown.
Place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Another Ukrainian dish that is cooked in my family is thin pancakes with various fillings😊😋 Pancakes are a traditional dish that is widespread in Ukrainian cuisine. They are thin flatbreads that are made from a liquid dough based on flour, milk, eggs, sugar and butter, and are usually fried in a frying pan. Pancakes can be both sweet and savory, and they are often served with various fillings and sauces.
My secret to making the dough without lumps: I add salt, sugar and flour to the eggs, mix well until smooth and gradually pour in the milk and a little melted butter.
Cooking tips
• Do not overdry the pancakes - it is important that they are soft and do not burn, so you need to fry them at a medium temperature.
• Add a little vegetable oil to the dough - this will help the pancakes not stick to the pan and be more elastic.
• Stir the dough before each new pancake so that it remains smooth.
• Use a non-stick pan to make the pancakes easier to flip.

I must admit that I cook very little in the kitchen, I can fry eggs, make an omelet, cook shrimp for beer😁
I am a fan of grilled food, here I do everything I can think of.
None of this can be attributed to traditional 🇺🇦Ukrainian food, so I do not participate in the Ukrainian Food Week on /travel-ukraine
My secret is that I am always surrounded by beautiful 💐women who cook food tastier than in any restaurant)
In the photo is the breakfast I cooked🤣

Feast your eyes on what I consider the crowning glory of Ukrainian cuisine: syrnyky with sour cream and sweet jam.
Today cheesecakes are one of the most popular dishes, but earlier their ancestor, MANDRIKI, was prepared in Ukraine.
These are simple flatbreads made from cottage cheese, flour and eggs, baked in the oven or fried in a frying pan. The difference between mandriks is that they were often cooked with honey and poppy seeds, which made them especially aromatic.
According to legend, the Zaporozhye Cossacks took them with them on campaigns because they did not go stale for a long time.

Holubtsi were among the dishes my grandmother cooked when I was growing up (I used to eat only home cooked holubtsi that’s why even now I never buy semi finished ones, sometimes the cooking process takes a lot of time but the taste is definitely worth it)
So these cabbage rolls are like a big and pleasant memory!
Holubtsi are traditional Ukrainian cabbage rolls stuffed with rice and meat, usually served in a tomato sauce.
Every family has its own recipe and it may vary but I prefer to make them small and the tomato sauce should be a little bit sweet, that’s why I add some sugar!

Verguny are traditional Ukrainian cookies from Poltava region. Previously, verguny were treated to carolers, at vechernitsy. I remember the taste of verguny from childhood, my grandmother cooked them when we visited her, and it was a special treat. Because of their special shape, in my family we call them bunnies. At one time, they were cooked in almost all families. This simple, but such a hearty dish was loved by all children without exception. There are many different recipes! I prepare the dough with kefir or sour cream and use our family ingredient that makes verguny crispy, it is 1-2 tablespoons of vodka 🫶
Shashlik or Shashlyk is a traditional Ukrainian dish.

For Ukrainians, borscht is not just food, it is a symbol of hospitality, love and care. Each family has its own recipe that is passed down from generation to generation. Borscht is prepared for family dinners, but it is also present on holiday tables, such as Christmas, Easter and other significant events.
In addition, borscht has become an object of cultural pride for Ukraine. In 2022, UNESCO added Ukrainian borscht to the list of intangible cultural heritage. This event emphasized the importance of this dish as a symbol of Ukrainian culture.
Thus, Ukrainian borscht is not only a tasty and nutritious dish, but also a real cultural tradition that symbolizes the richness of Ukrainian cuisine and people.
In my family borscht is the most favorite soup dish. we often cook according to one family recipe, but each woman in our family has a different one 😀
In Krakow, we discovered a Ukrainian restaurant where they cook delicious borscht and serve it with slices of lard, pickles and black bread 🍞

Hey /travel-ukraine! After @kraken8.eth shared this with @rounds, I did some research about food from Ukraine, and now Chicken Kyiv is on my mind! I found a recipe summary: chicken breast, herbed butter, breaded, and fried. Sounds delicious! I would love to try it in Ukraine someday with my friend.

Ukrainian cats🐾
Ukrainians love cats very much) But who doesn't?)
This is the story of my cat 🐈⬛ Tyson.
In the spring of 2022, war began in Ukraine, millions of people left their homes, many fled abroad.
Tragedy for people became a tragedy for pets, saving their lives people often abandoned their pets just letting them out on the street, not everyone could take them when leaving the country.
At my summer home in the suburbs, during the first months of the war, many pet dogs and cats appeared on the streets. People brought them here and let them out hoping someone would take them in. The animals were not ready for such a life, they didn't know how to get their own food, they died very quickly.
Someone's pet cat came to me, she was pregnant and gave birth to these 3 wonderful kittens.
The cat and 2 kittens died after another bombardment of our cottage village.
Only one survived, gray-white, I named him 🐈⬛ Tyson. He is a real fighter and now he is the main member of our family.
