Two chefs from Ukraine and Russia have teamed up to help raise vital funds for UNICEF’s Ukraine appeal.
Alissa Timoshkina, who is originally from Siberia but moved to the UK in 1999, has launched Cook for Ukraine with Olia Hercules in a bid to help families affected by the Russian invasion.
Olia was born in Kakhovka, Ukraine, but now lives in London. So far, the pair have raised more than £300,000 by putting together a feast of Ukrainian and Russian recipes and inspiring others to organise supper clubs, fundraisers and bake sales to support the appeal.
