Community Dinner: Ukrainian Borscht (First Seating)

Borscht is a dish that could be easily called a Ukrainian national treasure. This intensely red, flavorful soup is a frequent guest at every Ukrainian table. The recipe changes from family to family, but the essential ingredients are always the same: lots of cabbage, tomatoes, white beans, and of course tons of beets! A few of you met Anna at her first class at 18 Reasons in November 2019 on Georgian food and khachapuris. She returns to our kitchen to feed you all her version of borscht, with chicken. She likes its delicate meat, but it can be made almost any meat you can imagine. The deeply satisfying flavor of borscht will make you fall in love with it from the first slurp. Anna will be serving it piping hot with a dollop of sour cream and freshly baked garlic buns. It's a wonderfully comforting meal from Anna's childhood which she's eager to share with you!

Besides Anna's soup and rolls, we'll have a number of Eastern European wines available for sale by the glass!
