Baba Sophie's Ukrainian Cookbook is a magical adventure in cooking. Marion Mutala's mom, Sophie, would say to her children, "Yeesteh, yeesteh, yeesteh!" (Eat, eat, eat!) and the next time would say, "Don't eat too much or you will get too fat."
Tak (yes), the paradox of being a great cook. Sophie did not like to eat out as she could make it better at home. She especially loved to make your favourite foods, whether they were fluffy buttermilk pancakes, homemade bread, doughnuts, chocolate cake with caramel icing, cabbage rolls, or the number one favourite food in Canada, perogies, pyrohy, or varenyky. In the 6th book of the Baba's Babushka series, it is only fitting we celebrate recipes from Sophie (née Dubyk) Mutala's original cookbook. Sophie loved to cook, Marion loves to eat, and who doesn't love to eat great, nutritious, homemade food?
