To begin with, you will prepare the dough for the varenyky, similar to ravioli and pierogi, but unique in their own way. Then, you will chop the ingredients for the borsch such as cabbage, potato, carrot, onion and beetroot, which gives the soup the instant red color. While the soup boils, you will engage in mastering the simple technique of perfectly shaping the varenyky and filling them with popular stuffing. During the cooking, the hostess will guide you and reveal the secrets of the techniques. She will also share with you interesting facts about traditional Ukrainian cuisine. By that time, your mouthwatering culinary masterpieces will be ready for you to enjoy together with a friendly company of locals.
