Explore Eastern European food culture and identity, through over 80 delicious, entirely achievable recipes.

Food is grounding; it connects us to our past, moves with people across borders, and is ever evolving. Anastasia Zolotarev draws on her Ukrainian and Belarusian heritage and celebrates the food and flavours of Eastern Europe. Through the pages, she finds the balance between preserving tradition and sharing the evolution of her family’s recipes. 

Sour Cherries & Sunflowers celebrates culture and connection, with recipes to preserve and feed the soul. For slow mornings at home, there are Blueberry and Buckwheat Pancakes, whilst Pyrizhky and Varenyky dumpling recipes are shared with tales of family gatherings around the table. You’ll find open rye sandwiches and Blini for celebrations and special gatherings, everyday recipes like babka and borsch, as well as salads, preserves, and even desserts such as Honey, Walnut and Soured Cream Cake and Plum Rogaliki cookies.

Adam ★★★★★

This signed copy arrived in perfect condition, and the inscription feels like a personal touch that makes it special. The chapter on sunflower seeds alone is worth the price, weaving history into every recipe in a way I've never seen in a cookbook before.

Evelyn R. ★★★★★

The recipes actually feel achievable, not like a coffee table book you’ll never cook from—the sour cherry pie alone was worth the price. Having a signed copy makes it feel even more personal, like the author’s story is tucked right into the pages. I’ve already gifted one to my sister who’s navigatin

Samuel ★★★★☆

The 80+ recipes all look doable for a weeknight cook like me, and the personal essays about food and identity give it real depth. I just wish the signed copy came with a protective cover since the dust jacket already shows a little wear.
