    Olena's recipes and the way she presents it is refreshing and "original". I originally found her recipes on a pop up while searching for recipes on an internet search engine before finding and watching her on RUclips. Reading her recipes and the way she presents them are wonderfully organized with alternative ways to cook, and full of information yet easy to read. It made me want to read more. The recipes are delicious and actually work and come out as expected. I will definitely be placing Olena's recipes to the top of my "Go To List".

    That looks very good and I will try it. My favorite summer Salad is cucumber, white onion, sour cream and dill. It's simply got to have dill. Yummmmm

      @@ifoodreal The ingredients are the same every where, the difference maybe that one uses a different oil or vinigar or mint instead of dill, but it is due to the personal taste no to the Country

    • @ifoodreal

      It is due to the availability of ingredients and the culture of a certain country. In Ukraine, we would not add mint to this or any other salad. Only unrefined sunflower seed oil was available then. Dill or onion is up to personal taste.

    You forgot to fly onions with sunflower oil and use the oil with your salad but leave the fried onions aside

      Unfortunately it doesn't taste nearly the same as fresh. It might ruin your salad. Just omit it all together.:)
