Breakfast is a traditional meal when served by Ukrainian women. They do not rely on microwaves or drive through windows at a fast food restaurant or approve of people running off to work with a banana in their briefcase. Breakfasts are served at home, with hot rolls, topped by an unsweetened berry sauce. Egg salad made with fresh dill, pickled herring in sour cream and melt in your mouth coleslaw follow. Strong coffee, freshly brewed, is a must.

In the summer, Ukrainians take advantage of all the fresh produce to serve their famous beet soup for guests to lunch. Ukrainian cooks search out the freshest vegetables either at the markets or farmer stands by the road. Possibly because the Ukraine, though just a bit smaller than the state of Texas, is mostly farmland of grains and vegetables, cooks value fresh ingredients. A Ukrainian cook may follow the soup with an Olivier salad made from potatoes, pickles, hard boiled eggs, chopped onions and chicken.

Ukrainians snack on bread with a thin slice of salo. It is a type of salted, unrendered pork fat that is not common in the west, but very much appreciated in the Ukraine, Russia and Poland. Ukrainians also enjoy home made cheeses and fruit tarts and spicy sausages bought fresh from the butcher. Paired with a delicious roll, this makes a great snack.

Dumplings stuffed with potatoes or cheese, sauerkraut, fried fish, roasted meats may also appear in trays on the table. Strong drinks will very likely be served and Ukrainians enjoy making toasts and being toasted, so it might be a good idea to think of one beforehand.

When you begin to think you might explode from food, dessert appears. Pampushky, a fried dough with fillings and tossed in cinnamon sugar, torte, or fried curd fritters are delicacies not to be missed. The hostess will be eager for you to try these sweets.
