\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 one of the most famou s 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. Ukrainian cuisine is d eeply rooted in natural\, wholesome ingredients&mdash\;fresh foods that ar e rich in flavor and highly nourishing. \; The cooking 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 an d wrapped inside the crepes\, and finally\, the nalysnyky are either pan-f ried or baked with a little sugar and butter to develop a caramelized flav or.
\nThey are traditionally served with sour cream\, various jams\, or honey. \; This dessert is incredibly delicious\, with the perfect balance of sweetness and a slight tang from the authentic cheese made from fermented milk.
\nMy grandmother was a long lived. She lived in a v illage\, always rose with the sunrise\, worked hard\, and every year she w ould 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 sle ep 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 visited 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\, delic ious food stocked&mdash\;simple dishes that everyone adored. And for this class\, we're making one of those dishes\, packed with the energy of famil y love and care. On top of that\, it&rsquo\;s one of the most famous tradi tional Ukrainian desserts!"

\n"Cooking has been the biggest passion in my life s ince an early age. Having different \;professional \;experiences\, finally I turned it into my profession. I am the author of 5 culinary boo ks and the creator of a cooking Youtube channel with 600\,000 subscribers.
\nMy culinary expertise also extended to the cooking show on radio and local TV show. Additionally\, I've conducted culinary masterclasses at my cooking school\, designed for amateur chefs with a passion for cooking . The proceeds from these classes were donated to charity. \; For two years\, I delved into the world of desserts as a private pastry chef for p rivate clients and local cafes. This experience was followed by a five-yea r commitment to a sugar-free and refined-product-free diet\, which inspire d me to create dietary recipes as well.
\nI firmly believe that cook ing transcends mere sustenance. It's an avenue to savor life\, forge peopl e connections\, and embark on global journeys\, whether from the comfort o f our kitchens or through the ambiance of a restaurant. Food serves as a w indow into diverse cultures\, daily routines\, historical contexts\, and w ays of living. Given our intrinsic need for food daily\, it's imperative t hat what we consume is not just nutritious but also delectably satisfying!
\nMy Youtube channel is \;https://www.youtube.com/@zhiznvkusnaja. \; I've crafte d nearly a thousand step-by-step photo recipes for various websites\, plus an additional 2\,000 for my own platform. Every piece of content &mdash\; text\, photos\, and videos &mdash\; was personally created by me\, ensuri ng a unique and authentic experience for my audience. \; My website no w is closed because of bot attacks on it caused by the war\, but in the fu ture I want to translate it to English\, and make it open again."
