I don't pray for anything, I simply wonder how long it will take Russians to realise that Putin has made us hate Russia as a country, once they finally realise that raping and murdering their closest neighbours really does nothing to endear them to us in any way

Hello Anna I have a very skilled carpenter who is Polish, and because his English is getting better and better I told him that after Ukraine Win this Criminal Invasion against Russia. That we should both travel together and help rebuild Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇺🇦 ❤🙏⭐️🎄🤶 I worked construction most of my life and have the licenses to prove it. My specialty’s is restoring old Historical Homes and Buildings Slava Ukraine and All The People Who Are Committed To Supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦 🖌️⭐️🙏✈️🎄❤️👍💖🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦✈️🖌️
What a cool job! I love historic homes. I love the idea of going to Ukraine with your friend to help rebuild and I am glad you are here with me, watching Anna, and supporting Ukraine. She made me hungry today. Bohaterom chwała. 🇵🇱❤🇺🇦
It's so good to see you step away from what has been your daily vlog for almost two years and be the person we don't get to see much of. Your humor brings a sparkle to your eyes! Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦🇨🇦🌻
I did not know anything about Ukraine until the war started and now I believe it is the most important country in Europe and for Europes future. Glory to Ukraine for its courage and sacrifice. Victory will come.
Anna great video! I am third generation Canadian with Ukrainian heritage. My ancestors came from bukovina arriving in Canada in 1905. We grew up with borscht. Usually made in the fall when the vegetables were fresh. Beets, potatoes, carrots, celery, tomato, dill, onion. Salt pepper vinegar. Serving at the table always added sour cream and a splash of vinegar. The tradition has made it way through the years and immigration and a new country. Slava Ukrainian. Victory to Ukraine!!!
Really wholesome video. Borscht has such a great taste and it looks so beautiful with the red colors, I made a new batch of borscht again after watching this video. Im from Denmark so I tried adding one of our specialties the Christmas Pork Sausage (with the weird Danish name "Jule Medisterpølse") which I cut into smaller pieces and cooked the whole thing for several hours to get that rich broth. And it just turned out to be such a good match. Incidentally the red color of the borscht and the white color of the sour cream matches my countrys flag colors too. And to think that the Ukrainian borscht version with the beets is what gives it that beautiful red color I find so awesome. It must certainly be fate! That tells me that we must NEVER give up support for Ukraine and never stop defending whats good against those dark forces that wants to rob free people of their freedom. Slava Ukraini!
Anna, I'm Iranian. My father was born near Baku. When the Soviets wanted to force them to become citizens, many of them, including my grandparents, moved to Iran. My dad's favorite dish was Borschat but us kids didn't like the smell of cabbage. Now that I live in California and watched you cook Ukrainian Borschat I promise you to find a Ukrainian restaurant and try it. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Anna, congratulations for 100.000! I have only eaten borsch in Poland when I was there and I loved it. I promise I will learn the Ukrainian way and I will cook it when this barbarian evil country is defeated. Slava Ukraine from Hungary. Glory to the heroes of Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Never bow to sick dictators.
Anna you must have a Ukrainian cooking show . My Czech🇨🇿 grandparents cooked 🇨🇿foods alot of stewed prunes and beet root yummy 😋 💙💛 Slava Ukraine 💪🇺🇦 🇺🇸
As a Ukrainian, I would like to thank your President Petr Pavel 🇨🇿 for his initiative in finding shells for the defense of Ukraine 💙💛 May the Lord grant good health and longevity to him and to all caring people with good hearts who stand up for justice and freedom 🙏🏻🕊️
Thank You Anna. I can't wait to try my hand at this. My grandmother cooked all sorts of Ukrainian food and it was food for my soul because I felt her love in her food as well as everything she did. She had 9 kids and they were all such good people and I didn't realize it was partly because it's a genetic thing in most Ukrainians. I will visit and likely stay in Ukraine after the war. I was a pacifist but Putin has changed that. I'm 68 and disabled or I'd be there but I am starting a business I will bring with me. I'm fluent is Russian but learning Ukrainian. I don't want to speak the language of barbarians. Again Thank You SLAVA UKRAINI GEROYAM SLAVA
Hello Anna! Let's celebrate all things you want. And here is to Pesce. I love the sound of Ukrainian cooking, and would love to try it. But unless it is Ukrainian, it is not the real thing. Diced putin, mmm! You cook it, add the topping you like, then throw it in the bin! No russian allowed Thanks you Anna!
@@CAPSLOCKPUNDIT I see what you did there! 😂🙃 But beets always tasted like dirt to me. Maybe it's one of those genetic things, or maybe because the only bets I ever came across were in a can. I had a problem with Lima beans until I had some fresh from the garden.
Anna , I look forward to getting served my free bowl of borsht at a local Ukrainian restaurant to celebrate the occasion that you alluded to . SLAVA UKRAINI🇺🇦🇺🇸
My dear Beautiful Wonderful Anna ❤❤❤❤in Germany my Grandmother made "Rote Beetesuppe," which means literally translated "Red Beetroot Soup." " Ukrainian Borscht" is a true "UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE DISH." As everyone knows it is extremely healthy and keeps you warm, especially in these very harsh temperatures now and in those Ice Cold Winds. Garlic is very healthy. We love Ukraine and it's nature and cuisine. Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤.
I had some Borscht today during a get together with some amazing Ukrainian friends and it tasted superb. After that we had some Dutch apple pie that I baked, with the necessary drinks of course. Anna stay safe and stay strong Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧
I would like Thank Anna again, Anna is the True Superwoman of Ukraine 🇺🇦 Who continues to all of us around the World the Truth !!! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🙏❤️⭐️🥕👩🍳👩🍳🎄🙏🇺🇦⭐️✈️💚🧡⭐️
Us Ukrainians are strong and our will to survive and thrive is what gives me hope. I pray for us all in this resilient community and for Anna our beautiful beloved hero! Things are getting ugly here in the USA where I live, and I’m so disappointed and disgusted with our politicians and our president who just keeps pissing around and not taking this war seriously. I’m someone who tends to vote more conservative, but not a hardcore party person by any means. With that said I cannot believe how Russian propaganda had literally become Republican talking points and positions in some cases and I don’t say that lightly. People like Tucker Carlson have literally said they want Russia to win and it makes my blood boil like this borscht! Anyways i have always loved borscht and my friend tells me he can tell I’m Ukrainian by how much I crave vinegar and sour crème😂 God bless you all and I know things seem kind of dark and difficult now, but we gotta have faith will will come through this fire like gold purified and shining victoriously!
David, I agree 💯% with you. Our current president is weak and inept. On Ukraine the USA could be much stronger. I'm also a conservative, but right now if Republicans can't get their act together in supporting Ukraine I will vote against every one of them, Trump included. There are many of us at work too who are disgusted with Republicans who half-heartedly support of Ukraine.
David, totally on point. I am very disappointed in many (not all) of my fellow conservatives here in the US who refuse to educate themselves and simply listen to talking heads (Tucker Carlson, knowledgeable on many subjects, is naively ignorant regarding foreign nations for the most part, and has never to my knowledge talked to an actual Ukrainian). The US is not only obligated to defend Ukraine because of the immorality of the Russian invasion, we are obligated because we signed the Budapest Memorandum (part of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty) in 1994 PROMISING to defend Ukraine if the nation surrendered what was at the time the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal to Russia. Do people like Carlson and Vivek Ramaswamy consider that we effectively disarmed Ukraine, "guaranteeing" their security, then simply virtue-signalled military aid (we've sent less than 3% of our military arsenal to Ukraine, most of it old, near-end-of-service life weapons like Stingers, Javelins, M113 APCs, Bradley IFVs, even ATACMS)? Clearly they don't. For all Biden's tough talk, the ONLY modern weapons from our arsenal we have sent are three Patriot PAC-3 batteries and a few NASAMS units. Even the few dozen HIMARS/GMLRS, M777 howitzers and Excalibur shells, the cluster artillery munitions, and the few Abrams tanks (a whopping 39 from our arsenal of 5,500) we have supplied are over two decades old. We have sent NO operable aircraft/helicopters, NO ships, no THAAD, C-RAM, David's Sling (Israeli co-developed) or other modern air defense systems. We sent a bunch of trucks, HMMWVs, and the like, but most of these were due for replacement anyway (as are ATACMS and Bradleys).
Dear Anna. I had borscht for the first time in 2018 when I was in Kyiv. It was absolutely wonderful. I would gladly trade places with Sasha for a bowl of your borscht. Much love to all Ukrainians. Slava Ukraine. From Canada.🇺🇦🇨🇦
I have cooked borscht for 40 years and it is my Valentine’s Day treat with a white heart in each bowl made from sour cream. I use potatoes, carrots, beets, cabbage, chopped tomato and lots of dill. The original recipe is Ukrainian and I learned from an older Ukrainian coworker in Canada
Thank you for hundreds of videos spreading humanity and honest information in this situation you and your country is in. Thank you for teaching us about Ukrainian everyday, politics and traditions of wich we would else not have much clue about. Thank you for the laughs and tears. Stay safe please. Ukraine need you very much. We need you to. I have followed a channel named Luba from Ukraine, she makes the most delicious Ukrainian food. She and her husband have another channel and they are pure sweethearts. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the fantastic heroes of Ukraine.
Oh, I love this video!!! #MadeMeSmile #MadeMeGiggle You two are so cute-funny when you get together 😂😂This vid was homely and welcoming.. so I'm guess that's the magic of Ukrainian 🪄 Borscht ✨with a sprinkling of Anna-Sasha mystical warmth ❇ Sasha, you have the best job ever there 👩🍳📹👀 and you make eating so much fun! 🍲🍞 #DreamJob 👫 This was *very* informative, cosy, and *so* beautiful to hear about family traditions that have stood the test of time through the generations. This is the best family treasure anyone could hope to inherit - no one can take them away #FondMemories Mushrooms would be my substitute for meat because they have texture and are a nice hearty ingredient. I really liked the way they are grown and dried in your region... and it's all so natural too. Sister, we have a love of potatoes in common, they're quite filling and versatile. My fondest childhood memory of potatoes is when Autumn came around, when Dad was home, he would wrap potatoes up well, in tin-foil, and bake them in the hot embers of the garden bonfires; down by our fruit and veg plot. He never made Borscht, though he always liked to go out and get a whole salami sausage and bread, so I'm thinking those reminded him of the nearest thing to what you have there to accompany your marvellous Borscht! I *love-love-love* your apron, Anna 🌸🌼🌻🌺🌹🏵✴ I hope the temporary tourism trade hasn't affected the retail sales in such items... it would be lovely if we had some of these traditional things in our shops or at least easier to purchase directly from Ukraine. I honestly cannot recall ever having seen anything Ukrainian and made in/exported from Ukraine in our UK shops and stores... it would likely give a much-needed boost to Ukraine's economy until the tourist industry in Ukraine can get back to normal...
Hi Anna my Ukrainian wife cooks 🇺🇦 Borscht on Sundays now to our traditional 🇬🇧 Sunday dinner. In which i used to cook for the family. But my wife doesn't add meat to the dish. Because our 5 years old daughter doesn't like Borscht with meat 😱 We 🙏 to the brave Ukraine people , and soldiers or Ukraine. Including my brother in law🪖🙏 Slava Ukraini 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌻🙏

Last year for Christmas, I cooked borscht. Just for me, I'm afraid...breaking the tradition of cooking it for someone important. 🫣 I will try your mother's recipe for sure, even if it is only for me. 🤫 Thank you for sharing this recipe with us, Anna. 💙💛🌻🇺🇦🇳🇱
Borscht with smetana is the ultimate comfort food in winter. It's easy to appreciate how much it means to the soldiers on the frontline to have a tasty meal that reminds them of their home and why they are fighting.

Thank you Anna for this detailed introduction to the glory that is borscht. I live in Australia, my father was Polish and my sister-in-law is Ukrainian. I often make the dishes my father talked about but borscht is the one I make in winter when we need a warm hug. I loved your secret additions, especially the dried sour cherries - I must try that one. Ukrainian dishes deserve to be more widely known and appreciated. Please make more videos like this. We become so much closer when we break bread together. Slava Ukraine ❤️
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 I now look forward to your victory picnic more than ever! Bring the Borscht! 😊 Be safe until then, God willing! I lost my 92 year old father Monday. I now understand the pain you felt losing your mother.
There is a special Horticultural trick that can be done with a Beetroot:- If you take a Daffodil bulb and place it in the centre of a Beetroot, before putting it in the soil, when it starts to grow and flowers, it will be a Pink Daffodil, Depending on which colour variation it originally is, (usually white with yellow/orange trumpet in the centre or yellow with a yellow/orange trumpet in the centre, for example), It would be either a light pastel pink Daffodil with a pink/dark pink trumpet in the centre, or a pink Daffodil with a pink/dark pink trumpet in the centre, This is because the daffodil first takes in all the red nutrients from the beetroot, as the beetroot decays and the roots of the daffodil starts to take in natural nutrients from the soil around where the beetroot is, it will slowly start to return back to its original colours, This trick can also be done with freshly cut Daffodils, when placed in a vase with diluted Beetroot juice, It is usually done around Easter & Mothers Day, 🇬🇧😎👍🏼
When my wife’s mother (born and raised in the Chernivtsi region) was declining from dementia in a Canadian nursing home, she started to reject all the food they served and would only eat the borshch my wife made. For at least two years, 2-3 times a week there was a big pot of borshch being made on the stove and the house smelled of beets and vinegar. My wife used her mom’s “insta-borshch” recipe, which cheats a bit by using ketchup. So borshch really is the food of life.
We are honoured and privileged to have you as our friend too, Anna. 😊 I loved when you got our your knife in this video. I often have a similar feeling, as I’m sure do many of the friends. 🤗 Thanks for this educational video about Ukrainian cuisine and sharing the secret infredients! I am here now feeling hungry, and supporting Ukraine. ❤🇺🇦
@@stevep6018Glad to see you, friend. 🤗 Yes about the diet, but it sounds delicious. I have some tomatoes soup to warm up and I might make a grilled cheese sammich to go with it. I wish I had Anna’s cooking instead, but it will have to do.
Dear Anna and Sasha, This is the dish of resilience, victory, and freedom! Thank you for the beautiful video, I will definitely cook it. Yes, please more videos on Ukrainian food! Слава України! 🇺🇦🇩🇪🇪🇺🌻🌻🌻
That knife in your hand while you think of putler...🤔 ooh the possibilities 😂😂😂 Thank you Anna for today's cooking lesson. Maybe one day in the not too distant future, your vlog could be about planning a Crimean beach party 😀 I would definitely look forward to that! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 P.s. Your borscht looks delicious
The best Anna yet! Not so serious, all personality and giggles, having light fun. I never appreciated borscht was so complex. Smoked cherries! Thank you, Slava Ukraini from Australia
@@sergeipetrov_rzn Ukrainian victory comes when Ukraine forces Russia off of their territory, and that doesn’t require Ukraine to march to Moscow. Ukraine doesn’t want any part of Russia, they just want Russia to stop attacking them.
@@sergeipetrov_rzn look, I know you’re Russian, as you said so yourself. I would ask what your desired outcome is for this war? And I’ll tell you mine: nothing would make me happier than for Russia to go home today, and to restructure their country to be a successful democracy. And of course to leave Ukraine alone from here on out. This war is unnecessary, and when it’s over there will have been a lot of lives destroyed unnecessarily on both sides. The best outcome for the Russian people would be to stop this war and focus their efforts on restructuring their country in a constructive way, instead of destroying and taking over other countries.
@@sergeipetrov_rzn I’m sorry, but you’re listening too much to the propaganda being played in your country. Ukraine does not have a Nazi problem- propaganda has taken a small number of cases and made it seem like there is a widespread problem when there isn’t. It’s just one justification of many to make people feel ok about fighting an otherwise peaceful country that wanted to live free and independent. And as far as NATO is concerned? NATO only exists because Russia does the very things that they’re currently doing in Ukraine! Look, I’m not Ukrainian, but I lived in Eastern Europe for a couple of years, and I know the sentiments that remain from having been ruled over by communist governments, which were set up and controlled by Russia. And yes, Russia, because as both you and I know, Russia was the central power that controlled everything during the years of the Soviet Union. If Russia didn’t do these things, countries wouldn’t feel the need to join an alliance like NATO. And Ukraine wasn’t actually very interested in joining NATO prior to the annexation of Crimea and the start of the war in eastern Ukraine in 2014. So that justification is simply hollow to me. Plus, Ukraine has the right to determine its future, its friends and alliances. They are a sovereign nation, and Russia needs to get used to that. They posed no threat to Russia, and honestly only do now because Russia decided to attack them. Look, I’m not Ukrainian, and I also don’t hate you for being Russian. But I do think you need to step outside of the propaganda and try to look at things from a more western perspective. Honestly, as a westerner, I am not interested in Russia being destroyed. I’m interested in Russia stopping their attacks on other sovereign countries and actually becoming democratic (which I hope you don’t believe Russia is, considering you’ve had the same leader for 23 years and counting.)
Thank you so much! My Mother made a wonderful Borsch also and of course we added Smetana on top!! I will make it when putin is arrested!!💕🇺🇦🥰🙏 Slava Ukraina!❤
Oh Anna I forgot to tell you about other things my mom always had in the fridge. She always had jars 🫙 of pickled beets, it’s delicious and healthy. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🧅🥔🍠⭐️🥘
I am an American who has never had borscht, but it sounds very good. My wife, who is a very pick eater, isn't interested. I love your channel, and love hearing about your beloved Ukraine apart from the atrocities that are being done to it by Russia. Slava Ukraine!
Hi Anna and Sasha 👋 Merry Christmas and many blessings for 2024. Everyone is jealous watching Sasha eating home cooking from Anna 😊. I like green olives stuffed with garlic. You barely notice the garlic.
I'm from Sicily but I love borscht, so I cook It regularly. Since we have not proper Salo, I use sicilian pork lard or Guanciale. I think that you can fry them with no oil in their own fat, along with onion on a low flame, add some milk and let all it melt to have a nice oil-less "soffritto", so the dish is more light. And, being italian, I add 1-2 spoons of tomato sauce (Sorry!😅)
Ukrainian here! Family borscht recipie passed down through generations and we all use slightly different ingredients. It's still a staple in our households when it's beet season! 🌝
Thanks so much Anna and Sasha! дуже дякую! You two are a great team. Congratulations on 100K! Borscht is a perfect way to celebrate. I also consider you a friend and am honored to have you in my life. Разом ми сильніші. Разом до перемоги!
Anna, just loved this video. Thank you for sharing your Borscht recipe. Would love to learn more Ukrainian recipes. Love from the U.S. Slava Ukraine! 💙💛
I love Ukraine and have been there several times. I was there in 2014 when the war started. What you are doing for your people is incredible and heroic. Education about a culture under attack is the best way to end the attack. I am also a professional cook and my ancestors come from Poland, so I believe in the power of food. Bless you Anna and all that you do.
Hi Anna, Sasha really enjoyed this video. I did not know that borscht could be that tasty. I thought it was just cabbage and beetroot. Keep up the good work guys. Slava Ukraine.
04:50 As Anna draws the knife she murmurs "You know I'm not thinking about borsch when I'm looking at this knife 🔪😮 I'm more thinking about Putin, but CZcams is too sensitive😅...so let's concentrate on more positive things" 😜😂🤣😂 Really love your Ukrainian humor Anna!!! I don't usually watch cooking videos but yours is awesome!!! 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️💙💛🇺🇦
This is such a lovely, fun video, Anna and Sasha! 💙💛 I can't wait to try making this myself! I've been wearing a bright red "Borschtcraft" shirt from your shop, but now I have your recipe too! 🎉 Вітання і молодець! 🌟 Слава Україні! 💪🇺🇦
When you draw the knife white that expressive look, I know what you was about to say... Nice video and I love to see more like it. Lover your vlog Stay safe Slava Ukranie 💙🇺🇦💛
What a beautiful video ❤ helping us to fall in love with Ukraine ❤ you don’t have a problem, your talking is spreading awareness and making a big difference 🥰 thank you for being you Anna ❤ Namaste 🙏
I feel let down by carrots too, still wearing glasses to read. 😢 . We in new zealand mostly have beetroot cold in salads but do roast it too . But now, I can impress my friends with this wonderful new recipe.you lucky man Sasha! Btw, I was thinking the same thing with the knife . Slava Ukraini I 🇺🇦❤🇳🇿
Fantastic! I love💗Borscht! I did also make it myself once too, Anna, and really enjoyed it! It came naturally to me, because beetroot is one of my top favourite vegetables! Diakuyu for this wonderful Ukrainian cooking vlog, Anna, and stay safe. Peremoha y!🇺🇦🔱Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦🔱
My favorite video of yours yet! I’m going to try my hand at cooking borscht, but I look forward to someday traveling to Ukraine where I will enjoy all things Ukrainian.
Just Beautiful Anna ! Thank U very much ! U R good cook . I have never in my 72 years ever tasted Borsch ,But I am Australian !

Borscht looks tasty and nutritious,Sacha has two jobs Anna's food taster and videographer,thing is which does he enjoy the most.. enjoyed your celebratory episode, here's to your next 100k,thankyou and congratulations on your phenomenal YT achievement 🥳
Anna cooks Borscht! ANNA COOKS BORSCHT!!! My day is made! 😍😍😍👏👏👏 Honestly, thank you so much for this video! I'm totally in love with Borscht. And I'm equally in love with your vlog! It all started almost 10 years ago when my mum married a Ukrainian from Odesa. When he came to our Tatar/Crimean Tatar family and to Sweden, he brought his way of making Borscht to us, which was passed on to him from his own family. It's a vegetarian version, with lots of beans in it (mostly fava beans, kidney beans and black beans). It's a Borscht that also contains chopped celery and grated apple (which is fried together with the grated beets and some unskippable vinegar). Once he introduced his Borscht to us, I became in love with it, addicted to it. When I'm making this Borscht, I also add smoked Tempeh (it tastes like smoked meat but is completely vegan, and I always pre-fry it before adding it). The stock I make for this Borscht is made of various veggie scraps (stems and peel from onion, celery, carrot, and even potato peel), garlic, seaweed (usually dried kelp), bay leaves, black and white peppercorns, herbal salt, cumin, lovage, parsley, dill, juniper berries, spruce shoots and even a few dried chili peppers. And in this Borscht, the veggies I add are potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, celery, cabbage (both white and purple), garlic, parsley and dill. Most of it from the small garden outside my flat where I grow all of it during summertime. I cook it all together with the stock and some tomato paste. I eat my Borscht with some Smetana and shredded scallions. And of course, I bake my own Pampushky with extra garlic and parsley on top. I don't eat Salo though, since I'm both vegetarian and Muslim (we don't eat pork). But as you can see, I add a bouquet of flavours to my Borscht. Sweet, sour, salty, smoky, umami etc. Borscht and Pampushky was coincidentally my dinner today, actually. I ate it and then I saw you uploading a new video on CZcams. It was such a pleasant surprise, I was and am so happy. I think you absolutely should make more videos about Ukrainian cooking. Holuptsy, Varenyky, Solyanka, Kapustnyak etc... The Ukrainian cuisine has so much deliciousness to offer, but honestly, nothing beets Borscht. Слава Украïнi! 🇺🇦🍲
Sounds very interesting, thanks for sharing! And I agree, Ukrainian food has a lot of wonderful dishes and flavors. I second holubtsi, varenyky and borshch, and would add chicken Kyiv and banosh for non-vegetarians. Plus there’s a Carpathian mushroom soup that I really enjoy. I haven’t had much Crimean Tatar food, but I have had chebureky, for the record. I’m a huge fan! They are very tasty. 😋
@SpencerG89 Yes, the Crimean Tatar cuisine is very delicious, I am very fortunate to have grown up with that cuisine since my grandmother was skilled at cooking and never forgot the dishes from her childhood and culture. Chebureki is the superstar and the national dish of the Crimean Tatar cuisine. It's something I personally make each time Ramadan ends, and Bayram begins, for example, or when friends and I are on a fancy picnic somewhere. There are, of course, many more delicious dishes than just Chebureki. There are Mercimek Şorbası (lentil soup), Baqla Aş (a green bean- and pea soup), Dolma, different kinds of Kebab, Pilaf (Plov in Ukrainian), Turşu Salatası ("sour salad") etc. And of course, you don't want to miss out on the Crimean Tatar coffee, Kahve. It's a whole ritual! Mostly, Crimean Tatars drink Çay (tea), Ayran, Şerbet (the Turkic/Ottoman version of Kompot/Uzvar) and juice. But Kahve has a special precious place as well. 😊
From Oregon, USA, I love Borsch!! I don't like onions, so in my recipe I use a moderately hot pepper and season with oregano. The combo works out great!
I feel for you all, and the more I see of Ukrainian Culture the more I feel like I need it in my life! Going to try the recipe next week! Here's to much more Borscht in the future!
Anna the more I learn about Ukrainians the more I like them. I pray the horror stops soon 💙🇺🇦💛❤️🇺🇲👍✌️🌹
Me too. ❤
Salt of the earth.
Stop Putins genocide NOW
I don't pray for anything, I simply wonder how long it will take Russians to realise that Putin has made us hate Russia as a country, once they finally realise that raping and murdering their closest neighbours really does nothing to endear them to us in any way

Anna great video! I am third generation Canadian with Ukrainian heritage. My ancestors came from bukovina arriving in Canada in 1905. We grew up with borscht. Usually made in the fall when the vegetables were fresh. Beets, potatoes, carrots, celery, tomato, dill, onion. Salt pepper vinegar. Serving at the table always added sour cream and a splash of vinegar. The tradition has made it way through the years and immigration and a new country. Slava Ukrainian. Victory to Ukraine!!!
Really wholesome video. Borscht has such a great taste and it looks so beautiful with the red colors, I made a new batch of borscht again after watching this video. Im from Denmark so I tried adding one of our specialties the Christmas Pork Sausage (with the weird Danish name "Jule Medisterpølse") which I cut into smaller pieces and cooked the whole thing for several hours to get that rich broth. And it just turned out to be such a good match. Incidentally the red color of the borscht and the white color of the sour cream matches my countrys flag colors too. And to think that the Ukrainian borscht version with the beets is what gives it that beautiful red color I find so awesome. It must certainly be fate! That tells me that we must NEVER give up support for Ukraine and never stop defending whats good against those dark forces that wants to rob free people of their freedom. Slava Ukraini!
Glory to heroes!

Yes! More food! My wife is from Lviv. I’d like to cook something to surprise her! Slava Ukraini!
Anna, I'm Iranian. My father was born near Baku. When the Soviets wanted to force them to become citizens, many of them, including my grandparents, moved to Iran. My dad's favorite dish was Borschat but us kids didn't like the smell of cabbage.
Now that I live in California and watched you cook Ukrainian Borschat I promise you to find a Ukrainian restaurant and try it.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
If you’re close to San Francisco, there’s a restaurant called “Leleka” that has pretty good borshch.
Anna, congratulations for 100.000!
I have only eaten borsch in Poland when I was there and I loved it. I promise I will learn the Ukrainian way and I will cook it when this barbarian evil country is defeated.
Slava Ukraine from Hungary. Glory to the heroes of Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Never bow to sick dictators.
I will do the same in Australia. Love the recipie! I do something similar but more Italian.
Why wait? I started 18 months ago 😄

Thank You Anna. I can't wait to try my hand at this. My grandmother cooked all sorts of Ukrainian food and it was food for my soul because I felt her love in her food as well as everything she did. She had 9 kids and they were all such good people and I didn't realize it was partly because it's a genetic thing in most Ukrainians. I will visit and likely stay in Ukraine after the war. I was a pacifist but Putin has changed that. I'm 68 and disabled or I'd be there but I am starting a business I will bring with me. I'm fluent is Russian but learning Ukrainian. I don't want to speak the language of barbarians. Again Thank You

Hello Anna! Let's celebrate all things you want. And here is to Pesce. I love the sound of Ukrainian cooking, and would love to try it. But unless it is Ukrainian, it is not the real thing. Diced putin, mmm! You cook it, add the topping you like, then throw it in the bin! No russian allowed
Thanks you Anna!
You should give borsch a try. I think you'll agree that it cannot be beet!
@@CAPSLOCKPUNDIT I see what you did there! 😂🙃
But beets always tasted like dirt to me. Maybe it's one of those genetic things, or maybe because the only bets I ever came across were in a can.
I had a problem with Lima beans until I had some fresh from the garden.

Borscht is a firm favourite in our household. My grandfather showed me how to make Ukrainian foods. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧❤️
What a refreshing video (more cooking please) and a tribute and reminder to all the brave Ukrainians that continue to fight!. Slava Ukraine!
My dear Beautiful Wonderful Anna ❤❤❤❤in Germany my Grandmother made "Rote Beetesuppe," which means literally translated "Red Beetroot Soup." " Ukrainian Borscht" is a true "UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE DISH." As everyone knows it is extremely healthy and keeps you warm, especially in these very harsh temperatures now and in those Ice Cold Winds. Garlic is very healthy. We love Ukraine and it's nature and cuisine. Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤.
Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava!
I had some Borscht today during a get together with some amazing Ukrainian friends and it tasted superb. After that we had some Dutch apple pie that I baked, with the necessary drinks of course.
Anna stay safe and stay strong

It’s nice to see Sasha in front of the camera, also to hear that he’s English has improved since the live stream,
🇺🇦SLAVA 🔱KRAYINI🇺🇦
Us Ukrainians are strong and our will to survive and thrive is what gives me hope. I pray for us all in this resilient community and for Anna our beautiful beloved hero! Things are getting ugly here in the USA where I live, and I’m so disappointed and disgusted with our politicians and our president who just keeps pissing around and not taking this war seriously. I’m someone who tends to vote more conservative, but not a hardcore party person by any means. With that said I cannot believe how Russian propaganda had literally become Republican talking points and positions in some cases and I don’t say that lightly. People like Tucker Carlson have literally said they want Russia to win and it makes my blood boil like this borscht! Anyways i have always loved borscht and my friend tells me he can tell I’m Ukrainian by how much I crave vinegar and sour crème😂 God bless you all and I know things seem kind of dark and difficult now, but we gotta have faith will will come through this fire like gold purified and shining victoriously!
The current president would send a lot more if it was just up to him. Just have to be careful with the propaganda talking points.
David, I agree 💯% with you. Our current president is weak and inept. On Ukraine the USA could be much stronger. I'm also a conservative, but right now if Republicans can't get their act together in supporting Ukraine I will vote against every one of them, Trump included. There are many of us at work too who are disgusted with Republicans who half-heartedly support of Ukraine.
David, totally on point. I am very disappointed in many (not all) of my fellow conservatives here in the US who refuse to educate themselves and simply listen to talking heads (Tucker Carlson, knowledgeable on many subjects, is naively ignorant regarding foreign nations for the most part, and has never to my knowledge talked to an actual Ukrainian).
The US is not only obligated to defend Ukraine because of the immorality of the Russian invasion, we are obligated because we signed the Budapest Memorandum (part of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty) in 1994 PROMISING to defend Ukraine if the nation surrendered what was at the time the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal to Russia. Do people like Carlson and Vivek Ramaswamy consider that we effectively disarmed Ukraine, "guaranteeing" their security, then simply virtue-signalled military aid (we've sent less than 3% of our military arsenal to Ukraine, most of it old, near-end-of-service life weapons like Stingers, Javelins, M113 APCs, Bradley IFVs, even ATACMS)? Clearly they don't.
For all Biden's tough talk, the ONLY modern weapons from our arsenal we have sent are three Patriot PAC-3 batteries and a few NASAMS units. Even the few dozen HIMARS/GMLRS, M777 howitzers and Excalibur shells, the cluster artillery munitions, and the few Abrams tanks (a whopping 39 from our arsenal of 5,500) we have supplied are over two decades old. We have sent NO operable aircraft/helicopters, NO ships, no THAAD, C-RAM, David's Sling (Israeli co-developed) or other modern air defense systems. We sent a bunch of trucks, HMMWVs, and the like, but most of these were due for replacement anyway (as are ATACMS and Bradleys).
Dear Anna. I had borscht for the first time in 2018 when I was in Kyiv. It was absolutely wonderful. I would gladly trade places with Sasha for a bowl of your borscht. Much love to all Ukrainians. Slava Ukraine. From Canada.🇺🇦🇨🇦
Great video Chef Anna ... Your Borscht looks lovely and it didn't take Sasha long to get from behind the camera to taste 😂 ... Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇬🇧
I have cooked borscht for 40 years and it is my Valentine’s Day treat with a white heart in each bowl made from sour cream. I use potatoes, carrots, beets, cabbage, chopped tomato and lots of dill. The original recipe is Ukrainian and I learned from an older Ukrainian coworker in Canada
Thanks Anna and all our friends around the world. May God Bless us all who stand against evil. Slava Ukraini

Oh, I love this video!!! #MadeMeSmile #MadeMeGiggle You two are so cute-funny when you get together 😂😂This vid was homely and welcoming.. so I'm guess that's the magic of Ukrainian 🪄 Borscht ✨with a sprinkling of Anna-Sasha mystical warmth ❇
Sasha, you have the best job ever there 👩🍳📹👀 and you make eating so much fun!
🍲🍞 #DreamJob 👫 This was *very* informative, cosy, and *so* beautiful to hear about family traditions that have stood the test of time through the generations. This is the best family treasure anyone could hope to inherit - no one can take them away #FondMemories
Mushrooms would be my substitute for meat because they have texture and are a nice hearty ingredient. I really liked the way they are grown and dried in your region... and it's all so natural too.
Sister, we have a love of potatoes in common, they're quite filling and versatile.
My fondest childhood memory of potatoes is when Autumn came around, when Dad was home, he would wrap potatoes up well, in tin-foil, and bake them in the hot embers of the garden bonfires; down by our fruit and veg plot. He never made Borscht, though he always liked to go out and get a whole salami sausage and bread, so I'm thinking those reminded him of the nearest thing to what you have there to accompany your marvellous Borscht!
I *love-love-love* your apron, Anna 🌸🌼🌻🌺🌹🏵✴ I hope the temporary tourism trade hasn't affected the retail sales in such items... it would be lovely if we had some of these traditional things in our shops or at least easier to purchase directly from Ukraine.
I honestly cannot recall ever having seen anything Ukrainian and made in/exported from Ukraine in our UK shops and stores... it would likely give a much-needed boost to Ukraine's economy until the tourist industry in Ukraine can get back to normal...
Thank you so much for the recipe, Sister. Love you!

Thank you Anna for this detailed introduction to the glory that is borscht. I live in Australia, my father was Polish and my sister-in-law is Ukrainian. I often make the dishes my father talked about but borscht is the one I make in winter when we need a warm hug. I loved your secret additions, especially the dried sour cherries - I must try that one. Ukrainian dishes deserve to be more widely known and appreciated. Please make more videos like this. We become so much closer when we break bread together. Slava Ukraine ❤️
Hi Anna, Looking forward to a trip to a free Ukraine to enjoy some Bortsch. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 ♥

Be safe until then, God willing!
I lost my 92 year old father Monday. I now understand the pain you felt losing your mother.
There is a special Horticultural trick that can be done with a Beetroot:-
If you take a Daffodil bulb and place it in the centre of a Beetroot, before putting it in the soil, when it starts to grow and flowers, it will be a Pink Daffodil,
Depending on which colour variation it originally is,
(usually white with yellow/orange trumpet in the centre or yellow with a yellow/orange trumpet in the centre, for example),
It would be either a light pastel pink Daffodil with a pink/dark pink trumpet in the centre, or a pink Daffodil with a pink/dark pink trumpet in the centre,
This is because the daffodil first takes in all the red nutrients from the beetroot, as the beetroot decays and the roots of the daffodil starts to take in natural nutrients from the soil around where the beetroot is, it will slowly start to return back to its original colours,
This trick can also be done with freshly cut Daffodils, when placed in a vase with diluted Beetroot juice,
It is usually done around Easter & Mothers Day,
🇬🇧😎👍🏼
When my wife’s mother (born and raised in the Chernivtsi region) was declining from dementia in a Canadian nursing home, she started to reject all the food they served and would only eat the borshch my wife made. For at least two years, 2-3 times a week there was a big pot of borshch being made on the stove and the house smelled of beets and vinegar. My wife used her mom’s “insta-borshch” recipe, which cheats a bit by using ketchup. So borshch really is the food of life.
We are honoured and privileged to have you as our friend too, Anna. 😊 I loved when you got our your knife in this video.

This is what I've been waiting for! (Besides of course, Ukraine's victory!)
@@sergeipetrov_rznit will come. But it certainly will take longer and with more difficulty than cooking borshch.
@@sergeipetrov_rzn Ukrainian victory comes when Ukraine forces Russia off of their territory, and that doesn’t require Ukraine to march to Moscow. Ukraine doesn’t want any part of Russia, they just want Russia to stop attacking them.
@@sergeipetrov_rzn look, I know you’re Russian, as you said so yourself. I would ask what your desired outcome is for this war? And I’ll tell you mine: nothing would make me happier than for Russia to go home today, and to restructure their country to be a successful democracy. And of course to leave Ukraine alone from here on out. This war is unnecessary, and when it’s over there will have been a lot of lives destroyed unnecessarily on both sides. The best outcome for the Russian people would be to stop this war and focus their efforts on restructuring their country in a constructive way, instead of destroying and taking over other countries.
@@sergeipetrov_rzn I’m sorry, but you’re listening too much to the propaganda being played in your country. Ukraine does not have a Nazi problem- propaganda has taken a small number of cases and made it seem like there is a widespread problem when there isn’t. It’s just one justification of many to make people feel ok about fighting an otherwise peaceful country that wanted to live free and independent. And as far as NATO is concerned? NATO only exists because Russia does the very things that they’re currently doing in Ukraine! Look, I’m not Ukrainian, but I lived in Eastern Europe for a couple of years, and I know the sentiments that remain from having been ruled over by communist governments, which were set up and controlled by Russia. And yes, Russia, because as both you and I know, Russia was the central power that controlled everything during the years of the Soviet Union. If Russia didn’t do these things, countries wouldn’t feel the need to join an alliance like NATO. And Ukraine wasn’t actually very interested in joining NATO prior to the annexation of Crimea and the start of the war in eastern Ukraine in 2014. So that justification is simply hollow to me.
Plus, Ukraine has the right to determine its future, its friends and alliances. They are a sovereign nation, and Russia needs to get used to that. They posed no threat to Russia, and honestly only do now because Russia decided to attack them.
Look, I’m not Ukrainian, and I also don’t hate you for being Russian. But I do think you need to step outside of the propaganda and try to look at things from a more western perspective. Honestly, as a westerner, I am not interested in Russia being destroyed. I’m interested in Russia stopping their attacks on other sovereign countries and actually becoming democratic (which I hope you don’t believe Russia is, considering you’ve had the same leader for 23 years and counting.)
Thank you, Anna I have a friend coming from Kyiv! and I will cook Borscht for her. Slava Ukraini.💙💛

Hi Anna and Sasha 👋 Merry Christmas and many blessings for 2024. Everyone is jealous watching Sasha eating home cooking from Anna 😊. I like green olives stuffed with garlic. You barely notice the garlic.
I'm from Sicily but I love borscht, so I cook It regularly. Since we have not proper Salo, I use sicilian pork lard or Guanciale. I think that you can fry them with no oil in their own fat, along with onion on a low flame, add some milk and let all it melt to have a nice oil-less "soffritto", so the dish is more light. And, being italian, I add 1-2 spoons of tomato sauce (Sorry!😅)
Ukrainian here! Family borscht recipie passed down through generations and we all use slightly different ingredients. It's still a staple in our households when it's beet season! 🌝
Resilience 🎉

Honestly, thank you so much for this video! I'm totally in love with Borscht. And I'm equally in love with your vlog!
It all started almost 10 years ago when my mum married a Ukrainian from Odesa. When he came to our Tatar/Crimean Tatar family and to Sweden, he brought his way of making Borscht to us, which was passed on to him from his own family. It's a vegetarian version, with lots of beans in it (mostly fava beans, kidney beans and black beans). It's a Borscht that also contains chopped celery and grated apple (which is fried together with the grated beets and some unskippable vinegar). Once he introduced his Borscht to us, I became in love with it, addicted to it. When I'm making this Borscht, I also add smoked Tempeh (it tastes like smoked meat but is completely vegan, and I always pre-fry it before adding it). The stock I make for this Borscht is made of various veggie scraps (stems and peel from onion, celery, carrot, and even potato peel), garlic, seaweed (usually dried kelp), bay leaves, black and white peppercorns, herbal salt, cumin, lovage, parsley, dill, juniper berries, spruce shoots and even a few dried chili peppers. And in this Borscht, the veggies I add are potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, celery, cabbage (both white and purple), garlic, parsley and dill. Most of it from the small garden outside my flat where I grow all of it during summertime. I cook it all together with the stock and some tomato paste. I eat my Borscht with some Smetana and shredded scallions. And of course, I bake my own Pampushky with extra garlic and parsley on top. I don't eat Salo though, since I'm both vegetarian and Muslim (we don't eat pork). But as you can see, I add a bouquet of flavours to my Borscht. Sweet, sour, salty, smoky, umami etc.
Borscht and Pampushky was coincidentally my dinner today, actually. I ate it and then I saw you uploading a new video on CZcams. It was such a pleasant surprise, I was and am so happy. I think you absolutely should make more videos about Ukrainian cooking. Holuptsy, Varenyky, Solyanka, Kapustnyak etc...
The Ukrainian cuisine has so much deliciousness to offer, but honestly, nothing beets Borscht. Слава Украïнi! 🇺🇦🍲
Sounds very interesting, thanks for sharing! And I agree, Ukrainian food has a lot of wonderful dishes and flavors. I second holubtsi, varenyky and borshch, and would add chicken Kyiv and banosh for non-vegetarians. Plus there’s a Carpathian mushroom soup that I really enjoy.
I haven’t had much Crimean Tatar food, but I have had chebureky, for the record. I’m a huge fan! They are very tasty. 😋
Can we Scousers come round to your place...??.. ❤❤😊😊
@SpencerG89 Yes, the Crimean Tatar cuisine is very delicious, I am very fortunate to have grown up with that cuisine since my grandmother was skilled at cooking and never forgot the dishes from her childhood and culture. Chebureki is the superstar and the national dish of the Crimean Tatar cuisine. It's something I personally make each time Ramadan ends, and Bayram begins, for example, or when friends and I are on a fancy picnic somewhere. There are, of course, many more delicious dishes than just Chebureki. There are Mercimek Şorbası (lentil soup), Baqla Aş (a green bean- and pea soup), Dolma, different kinds of Kebab, Pilaf (Plov in Ukrainian), Turşu Salatası ("sour salad") etc. And of course, you don't want to miss out on the Crimean Tatar coffee, Kahve. It's a whole ritual! Mostly, Crimean Tatars drink Çay (tea), Ayran, Şerbet (the Turkic/Ottoman version of Kompot/Uzvar) and juice. But Kahve has a special precious place as well. 😊
@@eamonnclabby7067 Welcome to my household in the very west of Sweden! 😇❤️❤️
From Oregon, USA, I love Borsch!! I don't like onions, so in my recipe I use a moderately hot pepper and season with oregano. The combo works out great!
Love to you Anna and to Sasha from me in Sweden 👋❤👍🇸🇪!
Love to you in Sweden from Central Europe. We are still here, learning delicious recipes and supporting Ukraine. ❤🇺🇦🤗
@@SomethingBlonde Slava Ukraine 👋🇸🇪♥️🇺🇦👍! Borscht is a very tasty soup and I have eaten it too with smetana!
Glory to Anna’s victorious borscht 💙💛
I feel for you all, and the more I see of Ukrainian Culture the more I feel like I need it in my life! Going to try the recipe next week!
Here's to much more Borscht in the future!
