Ukraine holds borscht ‘marathon’ to promote UNESCO bid Published on Share
Ukrainian cooks gathered Friday in Kiev to cook borscht ahead of the ex-Soviet country’s bid to cement the dish as part of its cultural heritage, an initiative that irritates Russia.
Ukraine’s culture ministry is due this month to submit an application to the United Nations cultural body UNESCO to list borscht the traditional beetroot and cabbage dish as an intangible part of the country’s cultural heritage.
The drive has been led by Ukrainian chef Ievgen Klopotenko, who along with the culture ministry gathered 25 Ukrainians from around the country to cook their region’s authentic recipes during a two-hour live broadcast he billed as a “marathon”.
