Hello everyone! 

I’m Tetyana Filevska, Creative Director at the Ukrainian Institute. I’m excited to share insights about our project and Book, Ukraine. Food & History, which explores the role of Ukrainian cuisine in shaping our cultural identity and advancing culinary diplomacy. 

At the Ukrainian Institute, we believe that food is more than just sustenance—it’s a vibrant reflection of history, tradition, and innovation. Through this initiative, we’re diving into the stories behind iconic dishes, regional specialties, and how our culinary heritage has evolved over time. 

I look forward to discussing

Food and cultural diplomacy: How cuisine bridges communities globally

Regional culinary identities and local ingredients

Preserving and promoting Ukraine’s food culture on the world stage

The Ukrainian Institute: The valuable work we do strengthening Ukraine internationally and domestically

Whether you’re curious about borshch, varenyky, festive holiday meals, or the broader cultural significance of Ukrainian food, I’m here to answer your questions. Ask me anything!
