s1e22: Food is sacral for Ukrainians. Any rituals around growing, cooking, sharing, and eating foods are synonymous with persisting, surviving, thriving, and connecting with fellow Ukrainians — against all odds. That's why one of the nicest things you can do to show appreciation for a Ukrainian is to learn how to cook Ukrainian dishes. This episode is about nurturing all of us back to life — and decolonizing some stuff about Ukrainian cuisine and culture along the way. Our featured Ukrainian is a celebrity chef and storyteller-food-writer Olia Hercules.
