Ukrainian Russian Taste Of Workshop Spring

Larisa’s warm and welcoming personality will greet you from the moment you arrive at her home. Filled with photos, books, and artisan crafts, Larisa’s home is an ode to the vibrant and storied life she’s lived, and your time together will be filled with laughter and smiles as she brings these stories to life. Your workshop will start with a delicious homemade welcome snack, including homemade bread paired with a collection of homemade spreads, a variety of home-pickled vegetables, as well as Larisa’s favorite sparkling water and apple cider. Having grown up first in Odessa, Ukraine and then in Moscow, Russia, Larisa brings together the rich culinary traditions of these cultures with her collection of mouth-watering family recipes. During your time together, you’ll be blown away by Larisa’s passion and skill for cooking the foods of her culture, her generous spirit and love for hosting, and her many stories of growing up in the Soviet Union and fleeing to the United States with her daughter as refugees. An afternoon with Larisa is an experience you won’t soon forget, and she looks forward to welcoming you into her home in Jackson Heights!
