Nestled on the Black Sea coast, Odesa's cuisine is a tantalizing fusion of influences from Ukrainian, Russian, Jewish, Greek, Turkish, and Armenian traditions. In Cuisines of Odesa, gourmand and travel writer Maria Kalenska brings this lesser-known culinary tradition to life, allowing you to recreate these diverse cosmopolitan flavors at home.

Learn about Odesa's fascinating food culture, from street food to elegant cuisine, with recipes covering appetizers, main courses, desserts, and more. Discover unique seafood dishes that highlight the region's coastal bounty from the Black Sea. Wake up to Kefir Mini-Pancakes, Sweet Egg Bread Toast, and Rose Petal Jam. Enjoy a lunch of Dumplings with Potato and Cabbage and a Wild Garlic Salad. Finish the day with Chicken Borscht with Beans and Challah Bread. And don't forget dessert with lovely Odesan Chocolate-Glazed Eclairs. This is European comfort food at its finest, offering familiar flavors and textures that the whole family can enjoy.

Along with the recipes and stunning photography, there are engaging narratives that provide cultural insights and stories from chefs across Europe whose success relies on the foodways of Odesa. All of the 100+ recipes are suitable for both experienced cooks and curious beginners, making this the perfect gift for the foodie or travel buff on your list.
