I am about to make some kutya - one of the traditional Ukrainian Xmas Eve dishes - it’s got cooked wheat (or rice) with poppy seeds, raisins, sometimes walnuts and dried apricots and honey to sweeten it. Usually people share a large bowl of it around the table, either as the first or last dish. I think it’s really delicious!

There’s just me in the apartment so I’m using this kit I bought in the Klass supermarket in Kharkiv -which has everything pre-packed including a lovely bowl!
