My friend Marina, an Ukrainian native now living in Champaign, will be the chef du jour for this special event. We will cook up a four-course home-style Ukrainian dinner just for you. Marina will introduce you to Ukrainian culture and talk about the similarities and differences between Ukrainians and Russians. She will also share her childhood memories while living under Soviet rule.

 

Here's what to expect on this special evening:

• Champagne toast, charcuterie board
• Caviar with potato chips, sour cream, vodka shots
• Ukrainian Borscht
• Chicken Kiev
• Marina's cabbage salad
• Kasha with mushrooms

• Wine, beer, cocktails, digestifs

 

Maximize your experience (optional): Watch the 2019 historical drama 'Mr. Jones' (currently streaming on Hulu, Prime Video, and Kanopy*), then join us for stimulating conversation about the movie and its themes during dinner.

 

• Prepare for a stimulating evening of good food, open bar, and engaging discussions
• Dine with hosts who are passionate about ethnic food and international travel
• Enjoy a wonderful introduction to Ukrainian food, history and culture
• Have a great time at Marina's unique mid-century modern house with like-minded foodies

 

*Kanopy is a free streaming service available in Champaign-Urbana via our local public libraries as well as the University of Illinois library.
