Pierogi with Poppy

Dumplings is a perfect dish for Christmas time. The whole family get together around the festive table and leisurely enjoy a meal while discussing the latest news.

There is a belief that it’s necessary to sit down to a table with the first star twinkle in the sky, while the number of dishes on the Christmas table predicts what a well-fed and rich year will it be.

Pierogi are not just Ukrainian national dish. Pierogi are like a star of international scale in the constellation of traditional recipes.
