You are invited to hear about food as a nutritional necessity and about food as an item of cultural significance; about seeing everyday things from a different perspective; about how bread accompanies us on our life’s journey and the implications of being labeled the “breadbasket of Europe”; about how many variations of borshch there are and whether the princes of Kyivan Rus really ate it. And finally, what do borshch and bread really have in common? So, come, let’s have a tasty conversation about all this and more!

Marianna Dushar has been researching and restoring ancient Ukrainian recipes for more than ten years. She promotes Galician culinary heritage through culinary workshops for the wider public, consulting for chefs at restaurants, and preparing books on ancient recipes for publication. During her Fulbright Scholarship, she is conducting research on Ukrainian culinary heritage in the diaspora. She was born in L’viv.
