JUST ARRIVED!

THE NEW UKRAINIAN COOKBOOK!
Annette Ogrodnik Corona

The new Ukrainian Cookbook introduces readers to the fresh foods, exquisite tastes, hospitality, and generous spirit of the Ukrainian table. Ukraine's cuisine reflects a surprising range of historical, geographical, and religious influences, making it one of the most varied and appealing rustic cuisines of the world.

From classics like regional varieties of Ukrainian Borshch (red beet soup), Chicken Kyiv, and Holubtsi (stuffed cabbage rolls), to lesser-known specialties like Crispy-Fried Quail with Orange Rind and Honey, Crimean Fish Cakes, and Warm Mulled Plum Brandy, there is something for every palate.

Available now at Oseredok Boutique!

Christmas at Oseredok started with a flourish of snowflakes, stars, and lights on Friday December 7th and Saturday, December 8th - our annual Christmas Fair!

Hundreds came through our doors during the Fair...to shop, browse, and to have a little refreshment.
Many found themselves meeting up with old friends, which gave the Fair a truly party-like atmosphere!
And most importantly, all left with that perfect gift, a special ornament, or a bag full of varenyky and vushka!

OF PASTA, PLAST, AND CHRISTMAS FAIR!

ANOTHER FABULOUS SUCCESS!
And this time we brought the camera!

Oseredok is on a roll! With the successes of the Kupalo fundraiser this past July, and the opening of the highly-praised Plast centenary exhibition last month, Oseredok scored a grand slam with a sold-out Dinner at DeLuca's fundraising event on Friday, November 2nd!

In a cheerful and friendly atmosphere guests enjoyed a delicious three-course Italian dinner with fine wine, and the music of accordionist Myron Kurjewicz. And all took their chances at four terrific raffle prizes!

It was the perfect evening to share with old and new friends, a lovely way to start a weekend, and a great way to support Oseredok!
