\nLearn to make nalysnyky\, a delicate paper-thin crepe filled with a soft\, creamy\, homemade cheese filling. \; \ ;Nalysnyky translates literally to "as-thin-as-a-leaf". This is o ne of the most famous traditional Ukrainian desserts and dear to Ukrainian cookbook author and Youtuber\, Halyna Artemenko's heart. \; \;
\n"As tradition dictates\, I made the cheese entirely from scratch. Uk rainian cuisine is deeply rooted in natural\, wholesome ingredients&mdash\ ;fresh foods that are rich in flavor and highly nourishing. \; The coo king process is step-by-step\, just like much of Ukrainian cuisine! First\ , the cheese is made\, then the crepes are prepared separately. Next\, the filling is mixed and wrapped inside the crepes\, and finally\, the nalysn yky are either pan-fried or baked with a little sugar and butter to develo p a caramelized flavor.
\nThey are traditionally served with sour cr eam\, various jams\, or honey. \; This dessert is incredibly delicious \, with the perfect balance of sweetness and a slight tang from the authen tic cheese made from fermented milk.
\nMy grandmother was a long liv ed. She lived in a village\, always rose with the sunrise\, worked hard\, and every year she would get chickens\, saying\, 'I&rsquo\;m already old\, I don&rsquo\;t need to wake up early\, take care of the household - I can allow myself to sleep as much as I want! But I keep waking up early every morning to care for my \;chicks\, so I can stay active for as long as possible.'
\nEvery time one of her children or grandchildren visite d unannounced&mdash\;surprise!&mdash\;she was always ready because she was always waiting and always loving her family. In her freezer\, she always had homemade\, delicious food stocked&mdash\;simple dishes that everyone a dored. And for this class\, we're making one of those dishes\, packed with the energy of family love and care. On top of that\, it&rsquo\;s one of t he most famous traditional Ukrainian desserts!"

\n"Cooking has been the biggest passion in my lif e since an early age. Having different \;professional \;experience s\, finally I turned it into my profession. I am the author of 5 culinary books and the creator of a cooking Youtube channel with 600\,000 subscribe rs.
\nMy culinary expertise also extended to the cooking show on rad io and local TV show. Additionally\, I've conducted culinary masterclasses at my cooking school\, designed for amateur chefs with a passion for cook ing. The proceeds from these classes were donated to charity. \; For t wo years\, I delved into the world of desserts as a private pastry chef fo r private clients and local cafes. This experience was followed by a five- year commitment to a sugar-free and refined-product-free diet\, which insp ired me to create dietary recipes as well.
\nI firmly believe that c ooking transcends mere sustenance. It's an avenue to savor life\, forge pe ople connections\, and embark on global journeys\, whether from the comfor t of our kitchens or through the ambiance of a restaurant. Food serves as a window into diverse cultures\, daily routines\, historical contexts\, an d ways of living. Given our intrinsic need for food daily\, it's imperativ e that what we consume is not just nutritious but also delectably satisfyi ng!
\nMy Youtube channel is https://www.youtube.com/@zhiznvkusnaja. \; I've crafted n early a thousand step-by-step photo recipes for various websites\, plus an additional 2\,000 for my own platform. Every piece of content &mdash\; te xt\, photos\, and videos &mdash\; was personally created by me\, ensuring a unique and authentic experience for my audience. \; My website now i s closed because of bot attacks on it caused by the war\, but in the futur e I want to translate it to English\, and make it open again."
