Welcome aboard! The more the merrier. Are you still in Ukraine? If not, where are you based?
Welcome to Hungry Onion.
Do you cook Ukrainian food often? If you do, what are some of the typical dishes?
I like eastern European cuisines. Beetroots, (sour) cream, cabbage, roe, potatoes, gherkins, dumplings etc I love these ingredients.
Am also a fan of Japan and everything in it.
Look forward to reading about your food and experiences.

Welcome to HO!
- I currently reside in Santa Monica, but I left my heart in San Francisco where I was born & raised.
- I’m passionate about sourdough discard - not an expert, but I’ve made over half a dozen different things so far. Might create a thread.
- In 2019 I dined at Tour D’Argent Tokyo and had duck three ways including pressed duck and table side flambeed crepes for dessert - I’ve heard Beige Alain Ducasse in Tokyo is even better. Due to my work, it’s easier to get to Tokyo (once the pandemic travel ban is lifted), but Tour D’Argent in Paris is on my bucket list.
- I go gaga when there are edible flowers on a dish be it sweet or savory.

Welcome @foodshutterbug !! Hope you find this forum useful and enjoy your stay here.
I would like to know definitely! I’ve been starting to make my starter about a month ago, I’ve still trying to improve. There is a thread on this topic.
LOL! I live in the surburb of Paris, and I haven’t made it to Tour d’Argent yet. Problem here there are many new and fabulous restaurants and the established places have to wait. Since a few years Tour d’Argent has been changing head chefs quite often, the most recent one is Yannick Franques since 2019. By the way, Ducasse is French not Beige. In Paris, his restaurant in Plaza Athénée cooks mainly vegetables and fish as well, no birds. One needs to try Meurice, but I don’t see duck on the menu.
Right now, with COVID, there is no date when restaurants will be opened in France. If everything goes well, restaurants will open in mid January. It’s a disastrous year for restorations with the 2 lock down and a curfew and missing all the festivals. I wonder how many will survive.

I love talking about cooking delicious meals (I did offer cooking classes before), and about running a successful business and providing unmatched satisfaction to the customers. It’s more fun and fulfilling to cook when you see how happy and satisfied the customers are with your creations!

I’d never forget the first gnocchi I tasted, that experience provided me with the right inspiration and idea to start my very own restaurant business! 25 years later, my restaurant, a tavola, is still running profitably and successfully!

I’m on the west coast of Canada.

My current pet topic related to food is kitchen equipment that does its job right and that is well made.

My great food experiences are not “great” in the usual sense. I like lazy comfort food. If I suddenly won the lottery one Friday, I would not go to a fancy restaurant, I would just get really good pizza and really good beer.
My proudest cooking moments are not complex dishes, just feeling like I got a little closer to doing a simple dish right, closer to understanding how it’s done. -
I don’t like the taste of honey.

Welcome! May I ask how did you find this forum?
I can’t remember for certain, but I believe I was searching for a cookware discussion and it involved a person who was a member both here and at The Other Place. 
He was pretty enthusiastic about Hungry Onion so I stuck around.

I agree with you. These days the dish that gives me wow effect are “simple” dishes that made by people cooking the same dishes all their life and that “perfection” is that part make the difference.
