4.5 stars, rounded up.

In cookbooks, I need pictures of the dishes. This cookbook has no pictures but makes up for this lack by being so informative and having so many fantastic recipes I cannot wait to try.

PS Slava Ukraini.

The recipes are great and the book includes small snippets of Ukrainian history that explains influences on the dishes creation.

Really excellent cookbook! Gives very clear, simple instructions as well as history on a wide variety of Ukrainian cuisine (the amount of different borscht recipes alone was incredible). I also really liked Corona encouraged substitutions and experimentation. That's not something you see often in cookbooks and I really liked that attitude of "here's the recipe, but if you want to try it these other ways go ahead!"

Probably my only quibble is I would have liked a couple more recipes. I remember reading through and there being a few omissions of dishes I thought of as really integral parts of Ukrainian cooking. But overall highly recommended and frequently used!

I don't like cookbooks without at least a few pictures. I need pictures in a cookbook, especially one involving foreign food.
