“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЖОВТЕНЬ - ЛИСТОПАД 200 8 32 SMACHNOHO FROM THE EDITOR I often get requests from readers who want to see more recipes in the English-language pages of Our Life, a request I try to accommodate as space permits or when I remember that there are people out there who actually like to cook and are good at it. Those of you who may have read my review of the DVD “Christmas Eve: Tr aditional Ukrainian Cooking for Today’s Modern Cook” already know that I cook when I have to and am not at all good at it no matter how hard I try (and I freely confess that I don’t try very hard and generally prefer to eat things cooked by someone else). I was thrilled, therefore, to learn that two UNWLA branches have recently compiled and published cookbooks. News of this came to me from Liz Kuczer of Branch 115 in Detroit and Martha Noukas, president of Branch 118 in Houston, Texas. I was privileged to meet both of these delightful ladies at UNWLA conventions, and both have contributed articles on various topics to Our Life. I hope all cooks and would-be cooks enjoy the write-ups on the newly published cookbooks presented on these two pages. Different in style and content, both books offer a wide array of interesting recipes and information about the branches that created them. SMACHNOHO FROM HOUSTON’S BRANCH 118 Established in 1972, Houston’s UNWLA Branch 118 is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. To commemorate three and a half decades of worthwhile endeavors and to help support new endeavors, branch members have created a bilingual cookbook. Titled Favorite Recipes of Ukrainians in Houston , the book has an interesting history that begins with 16 Ukrainian sailors stranded in Houston back in 1998 when their ship was seized by creditors in the Houston Ship Channel. The sailors found refuge at Pokrova Ukrainian Catholic Church. Learning about the sailors’ plight, Houston’s Branch 118 provided a helping hand, providing the sailors with emergency funds to tide them over until they could find a way to get home. Before leaving Houston, the 16 sailors prepared a fabulous dinner for their benefactors. They also gave branch members recipes for the delicious dishes they had prepared for this event, recipes that the branch members planned to include in a cookbook at some future date. Life seldom goes as planned and the sailors’ recipes were unfortunately misplaced and lost. But the memory of the sailors and their wonderful dinner eventually led to the compilation of the cookbook that the branch has recently published. The spiral bound cookbook has 94 recipes, conveniently subdivided into 7 chapters, including a chapter about traditional Ukrainian Christmas and Easter dishes. At the beginning of each chapter is a full page of “Helpful Hints” and the book also includes a weight and temperature conversion chart. The book, which sells for $15, can be ordered directly from Branch 118 president, Marta Noukas. Order by telephone at 713-973-8848 or by email at mnoukas@aol.com. Proceeds will be used to support the UNWLA Scholarship Program. Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році . A рхів C У A - Ню Йорк , Н . Й . C Ш A.
