“Food is its own language. It can carry a culture. A special way to tell history. In Ukraine, we speak through our food.”

 
 
 
 

"When I was small I watched many times as my mother and grandmother cooked food for big weddings. The work was hard but I was inspired. When I grew up, I decided to be a teacher and this made my mother happy. But still I dreamed of cooking for people. When the war started, many people moved to my hometown to be safe. I took the opportunity to live my dream of cooking for others. I volunteered to cook and my food spoke a special language. In Ukraine, we speak through our food. It is the way I cook today – here in Australia – the same way my grandmother taught my mother.⁠”

 
 

  • Oksana’s menu is a language of it’s own, with flavours that speak to her country’s culture and history. There’s her favourite appetizer - a light, refreshing apple green tea paired with a creamy, herbed cheese crouton made from rich, European quark. There’s her mouthwatering Varenyky, the perfect cheese and potato filled dumplings tossed in butter and fried onion to make them even more delicious. There’s her famous Borsch, featuring a chicken stock base, plenty of fresh dill, cabbage, and potatoes, and served with a dollop (or three) of sour cream. While every family has their own recipe, trust us when we say Oksana’s is a real showstopper. And just when you thought her menu couldn’t get any better, there’s Oksana’s homemade apple pie - need we say more!
