Lenten

Olena Vasylchuk Updated 04.11.2026

Lenten dishes with no meat, fish, dairy or eggs: borscht, varenyky, mushroom cabbage rolls, kutia, a lenten honey cake and desserts for fasting days.

Strawberry Sorbet

Vivid strawberry sorbet with just berries, sugar, water and lemon — smooth, dairy-free and balanced so it scoops cleanly instead of turning into ice.
