An Interview with Olia Hercules - A Truly Amazing Woman and Chef!
Olia Hercules - Ukrainian chef, writer and food stylist has been actively working to promote and safeguard Ukrainian cuisine for years. Her cookbooks are amazing and I think should be a stalwart aid of every Ukrainian kitchen.
We talked about the history of cuisine, of women's running the household, of our favorite places in Ukraine, of the curious case of "church borshch" and her local favorite foods and restaurants in Ukraine. We also cried over the lost memories, foods and places all because of the Russian invasion. This was an absolute delight and I'm fortunate to get Olia on this podcast!
