As we cover the heart-wrenching Russian invasion of Ukraine, it’s vital to remember and reflect on the Ukrainian people behind the news headlines.
It’s a thought echoing the words of London-based Ukrainian chef Olia Hercules, whose parents, brother and wider family, remain in the besieged country.
Despite admitting that she’s been unable to eat or sleep since the invasion, constantly checking her phone for updates and messaging her family, her fundraising initiative, in collaboration with Unicef, Cook For Ukraine has raised over £200,000 of emergency funds for the people of Ukraine
More than 200 restaurants have signed up across the UK, with people at home being encouraged to experiment with Ukrainian meals at home and organise supper clubs.
