Ahh, this is like my mum/auntie/granddad used to make it!” people said at the launch of “Cuisines of Odesa”, the new book by at on Mon.
We made the food for the evening and were so happy to see people enjoying the food that takes them back to places and people that they can no longer access....
Cuisines of Odesa is different from many other cookbooks. Maria is very clear - the book not about her but about the Odesans. She is the force of nature behind the project, a mission to tell the world about her city.
The book is not about the war, but about life and a very unique sense of Odesan vitality.
