Summer Kitchens

Recipes and Reminiscences from Every Corner of Ukraine
Book • 2020
In this cookbook, Olia Hercules explores the diversity of Ukraine’s cuisine and heritage through the lens of summer kitchens—small structures alongside the main house where people cook and preserve summer fruits and vegetables for the winter months.

The book includes 100 superb recipes, a gorgeous collection of food and lifestyle images, and evocative personal narratives.

It illustrates how the region’s cuisine varies with the landscapes, climate, and produce, and is a love letter to a traditional way of life that is slowly disappearing.
