Ok, here’s a few of my faves
Borshch is a vegetable soup made out of beets, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, dill. There are about 30 varieties of Ukrainian borscht. It may include meat or fish. Usually served with sour cream or as we call it smetana
Vinigret: salad with cooked and shredded beets, sauerkraut, cooked and chopped potatoes, onions, and carrots, sometimes pickles mixed with some sunflower oil and salt.
Kalach: ring-shaped bread typically served at Christmas and funerals. The dough is braided, often with three strands representing the Holy Trinity. The braid is then shaped into a circle (circle = kolo in Ukrainian) representing the circle of life and family.
Paska:
traditional rich Easter bread. It is shaped in a short round form. The
top of the paska is decorated with typical Easter symbols, such as roses
or crosses.
Varenyky (also called pyrohy in some regions of Western Ukraine): dumplings made with fillings, such as mashed potatoes and fried onions, boiled ground meat and fried onions, liver and fried onions, fried cabbage with fried onions, quark, cherries, and strawberries. Served with sour cream and butter or sugar, when filled with fruits.
Holubtsi:
cabbage leaves (fresh or sour) rolled with rice filling and may contain
meat (minced beef or bacon), baked in oil and caramelized onions and
may contain as a baking sauce tomato soup, cream or sour cream, bacon
drippings or roasted with bacon strips on top.
Kutia: traditional Christmas dish, made of poppy seeds, wheat, nuts, honey, and delicacies.
And those are my favorites. Ukrainian cuisine has so much more to offer ^^
