Slow Food East Bay (SFEB) invites you to come enjoy a meal that is true to Ukrainian foodways today and learn from Chef Anna Voloshyna about the history of Ukrainian food, the ways in which wars throughout history have changed how Ukrainians eat, and how today’s conflict is affecting the food system and culture. Anna will converse with Laura Pauli, a chef and activist who first developed a relationship with Ukraine after volunteering with World Central Kitchen and now dedicates her time and energy to bringing attention to the plight of the Ukrainian people.
SFEB’s nonprofit partner for the evening’s donation is Bake for Ukraine, an organization working to keep the tradition of bread baking alive and flourishing in Ukraine. They raise funds to contribute to local food supplies during the war while also raising awareness about the importance of Ukraine as the “breadbasket of Europe.”
