This is Yana who helps take care of shelters here in Kyiv with @WCKitchen! From here we can hear the explosions…During the day if it is quiet, people will go to their apartments above to take a quick shower. Sleeping and eating etc. happens in the basement… #ChefsForUkraine 🇺🇦

"Through food, you can tell a lot about not only a person or a family but also a community. You can trace history through foods. Food can be a great instrument, and that is how I try to use it."
