The Taste of Freedom

For readers aged 16+

Varya dreams of becoming a chef, creating, and reaching new heights. Her mother tells her that she could simply get married — to a boy from their town. But Varya is so tired of trying to prove herself to people who don't understand her that she decides it's time to find her own taste of freedom. She sets off for Lviv with the intention of conquering the peaks of restaurant cuisine. However, achieving her goals turns out to be not so easy: failures and challenges await her at every turn. But when Varya unexpectedly finds a book by the legendary Ukrainian culinary expert of the last century, Olha-Mariia Franko, her dreams get a chance to come true...

! A highlight of the publication is a collection of recipes for original dishes by Olha-Mariia Franko herself, presented at the end of the book.
