Solidarity Kitchen: Virtual Cooking with Hell’s Kitchen Kharkiv
November 30, 2024 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us on November 30 for a special virtual cooking event that brings the heart of Ukrainian cuisine straight to your kitchen! Volunteers from Pekelna Kuhna/ Hell’s Kitchen, a Ukrainian non-profit organization based in Kharkiv, will guide us through the preparation of traditional and beloved dishes: deruny (hasbrowns) + baked pumpkin + beetroot salad. The recipes are easy to prepare, do not require any prior cooking experience, are low-cost, and will make a great addition to any (home) menu.
Pekelna Kukhnia/ Hell’s Kitchen is a volunteering initiative based in Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine. Since March 2022, Pekelna Kukhnia/Hell’s Kitchen has been providing hundreds of meals for those most in need in the city, which is constantly under the Russian attacks and has been working in the condition of electricity and water shortages. In these dark times globally, we invite you to extend a gesture of solidarity from your own kitchens to Kharkiv by (virtually) coming together and sharing a meal with us. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or new to cooking, everyone is welcome to join this heartfelt gathering, spread the word, bring a friend, bring your grandma, and bring your cat. The cooking will be accompanied by a discussion in which Hell’s Kitchen volunteers (who come from all over the world) will share their experiences of the daily routine of making meals in the city under attack.
