2 6 WWW.UNWLA.ORG “ НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ ”, ТРАВ ЕНЬ 2020 ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ ОКРУГ І ВІДДІЛІВ UNWLA Branch 30 Hosts Culinary Journey in Yonkers, N.Y. by Dr. Arcadia Kocybala On Sunday, March 1, 2020, Marianna Dushar de- lighted an audience assembled in the hall of St. Mi- chael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yonkers, with a historical Ukrainian culinary jour- ney. The speaker was introduced by Dr. Vera Bere- zowsky, p resident of UNWLA Branch 30, which hosted the event. Ms. Dushar, currently a Ful- bright scholar at Columbia University and the Lviv - based author of the popular 'Pani Stefa' blog ( https://panistefa.com/ ) , gave a very infor mative and entertaining presentation on the history of Ukrainian cuisine through a review of cookbooks, written mostly by women, dating back to the sec- ond half of the 19th century. She focused on the first general cookbook with recipes f rom all parts of Uk raine and entitled “1 - sha Ukrains’ka Zahal’nopraktychna Kukhnia,” which was written by Olha Franko and published in 1929. This cook- book served as the springboard for a discussion not only about the life of Olha and her husband, Petro Franko (son of the famous Ukrainian poet and au- thor Ivan Franko), but also of their mutual interest in the importance of nutrition. Through the presentation, the audience learned about the vari- eties of foods that were a part of the Ukrainian kitchen in different regions of the cou ntry as well as unique presentations of some of the more pop- ular Ukrainian dishes. Ms. Dushar highlighted the influences that historical forces, neighboring coun- tries, demographics and geo political ethnic groups had on Ukrainian gastron omy. The speaker al so provided sound evidence that borshch indeed orig- inated in Ukraine. Attendees were able to purchase and/or order copies of the 1929 cookbook, which has been newly reprinted with a foreword and nu- merous interesting commentaries by Ms. D ushar. Refreshments served prior to the presentation were prepared by St. Michael's Sisterhood. Nadia Liteplo, former president of Branch 30; Very Rev. Archpriest Kiril Angelov, p astor of St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church ; Marianna Dushar, p resenter , and Vera Berezowsky, current president of Branch 30 in Yonkers, N.Y.
