LIZA, UKRAINE
““In Ukraine, we are squeezing lemonade from all the lemons that life gives us”
As a mother to two small children, Liza cherishes her time in the kitchen. “Its my relaxing time,” she says. “It helps me clear my head.” She’s excited to invite her cooking class participants into this special space. Expect to roll up your sleeves, have fun, and try her famous syrnyky (Ukrainian cheese pancakes). Also on the menu, you’ll see plenty of potatoes, herbs – especially parsley and dill – and sour cream. “Sour cream makes everything better,” Liza says.

Liza’s menu is a BBQ twist to what you might expect from Ukrainian cooking. It begins with her Apple & Plum Uzvar, a fragrant spiced fruit kompot, perfect for awakening the appetite. Then comes the Belochka dip: a creamy blend of egg and cream cheese served on rye. Her beetroot & walnut salad is velvety, earthy with just the right amount of tang, while the “Deruny” are golden potato bites served with sour cream and dill. Her BBQ chicken skewers are smoky and citrusy, balanced with a hint of mustard. A juicy watermelon & feta salad cuts through with freshness, and to end on a sweet note, Liza’s Syrniki – warm quark hotcakes with sour cream and strawberry . This menu tastes like summer bottled up.
