Since this blog is going to focus on food in the lives of
Jewish Russian-Americans, I decided to ask Ukrainian mother and daughter duo Evelyn
and Irene just what Jewish food, Russian food, and American food were. Before
getting to the heart of the questions though, Evelyn gave us a thorough cooking
lesson. We made chicken soup, kasha, salad and compote. In the end we couldn’t
decide if it was Jewish or Russian, but it was most certainly delicious. Evelyn’s
mother and a few friends joined us for dinner and the company, conversation and
laughter made the Russian – Jewish experience even more authentic.
