Ukrainian cuisine shares a common heritage with other regional cookeries, yet maintains its own unique character, with its unforgettable taste, aroma, succulence and inventiveness. This cuisine appeals to such a wide range of tastes and gourmet expections that everybody is certain to find a favorite dish.
