What To Expect
One of the best ways to know better the local traditions of the country is to try the national cuisine. On a cheerful cooking class in a local kitchen, you will not only eat but also learn to cook traditional Ukrainian dishes – borsch and varenyky. You’ll be welcome at a local apartment, where private class takes place. A friendly host will tell you interesting facts about eating traditions of Ukrainians, and you will get a bunch of positive emotions and new skills. You don’t have to be a professional chef to cook the most famous Ukrainian dishes – borsch and varenyky. Your guide will give you step-by-step instructions on cooking these tasty dishes. Firstly, you’ll chop all the ingredients for the borsch – cabbage, potato, carrot, beetroot, onion etc. While the borsch boils, you’ll master the technique of making perfectly shaped varenyky under the guidance of the host. The best part of the tour is when you enjoy a traditional Ukrainian dinner, prepared by yourself in a friendly company. Overall, this workshop is a great possibility to improve your cooking skills and learn new recipes that will make your relatives and friends understand your new obsession with Ukrainian cuisine.

5.00Truly worthwhile three hour home cooking course, including the transportation and a complete meal. Tasty and healthy Ukrainian home cuisine, certainly to be replicated when I get home. Also was a good experience to visit the residential area!

5.00This was so much fun! Everything was very well organized, Olga picked my up by car near where I was staying and then we went to her mother’s place where we cooked Borsch and Varenyky. Olga and her mother were very kind and welcoming, and the food we cooked was delicious. It was really interesting to learn about the different recipes and ingredients you can use to make these traditional meals. I highly recommend this experience.

5.00Snezhana and her mother provided a wonderful, local experience with a very personal touch. Green Tour is a family owned and operated business, making it a very personal experience. From the beginning, Snezhana was engaging and energetic, making me and my boyfriend feel very much welcomed and excited to visit her house and learn to cook. Her mother forgot the name! did so much more than teach us how to cook. She shared stories, engaged us in conversations about Ukrainian culture and food, and made us feel at home every moment of the three hours. The lesson was clear and we walked away feeling like we could cook Ukrainian food on our own. Overall a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone.
