For those advance planners, here’s a suggestion for holiday gift-giving. Everyone loves a good cookbook, and this one has turned out to be quite popular. In August of last year, I wrapped up a project started almost 20 years ago—a collection of the recipes of Sylvia Molnar, who presented over 200 of them in the series Ukrainian Food Flair. Sylvia passed away in 2015, but last year her sister Leone and I finally were able to publish her recipes, as a tribute to her memory. Ukrainian Food Flair: Authentic Recipes from Canada’s West Coast is available at Amazon) and other online booksellers. If you’re in the local area, there are signed copies at Sandy’s Ukrainian Kitchen in Nanaimo North mall, CHLY radio station, Westwood Park RV Resort or MGM Restaurant. You’ll find a link to a dedicated page on the website here. Tune in to Nash Holos Ukrainian Roots Radio weekly for Ukrainian Food Flair audio flashbacks on both editions of the show. Vancouver: Saturdays at 6pm PST on AM1320 CHMB or livestream at am1320.com Nanaimo: Wednesdays at 11am PST on CHLY101.7fm or livestream at chly.ca
