I will be sharing these recipes with my daughters and teaching them how to cook! A lovely book with something for everyone. You feel like Baba is turning the pages with you!"~Mattie Romanyshyn, Belfield, South Dakota "I found many recipes that I had been searching for since my time in the Carpathians in 2010. The one I looked for the most was a mushroom soup that to my pleasant surprise was here. I have cooked for friends and family since I received the book and 4 people have loved it so much they have ordered copies of their own. The humor is Ukrainian and part of what made me fall in love with Ukraine."~Roberto Marquez, New Mexico
