Ukrainian cookbook writer Olia Hercules reflects on why it's important to mark this festive season, and the traditional dishes she鈥檒l be serving at the Christmas table in London this year.
Ruth Alexander speaks to Olia and her Russian born friend and fellow food writer, Alissa Timoshkina, to discuss how these food traditions have developed and how relatives and friends will be marking Christmas in the war-torn country, ten months on from Russia鈥檚 invasion.
Ruth also sits down with a Ukrainian family of refugees and their British hosts in Blackburn in the North of England to find out what will be on their Christmas table this year, and what it鈥檚 like to be separated from loved ones at this time. For Mariya Dmytrenko and her children, Krystina and Artem, and their hosts Brian and Julie Lamb, food has provided opportunities to bond and learn about each other鈥檚 cultures as they share a home.
