ep 212 – OLIA HERCULES on the beauty and diversity of Ukrainian food and cooking

This week digital editor Alex is chatting to storyteller and food writer Olia Hercules about her upbringing in Ukraine. Olia talks about long summer days in her grandparents’ kitchen, foraging in the forests of the north and visiting the sparkling fishing towns of the south. We also learn about the country’s national dish, borscht, as well as how to pickle and preserve vibrant summer veg for the winter months.
