Ukrainian Borscht
When I stayed in Kiev (Ukraine) my host had made me some borscht, which is a traditional beetroot soup. Normally I’m not a huge fan of beetroot, but this soup was absolutely delicious!

Australian Meat Pie
One of my favorite types of food that I would get during lunch break in Australia is a meat pie. They are super tasty and come in all shapes and sizes. This version is one that you can make for dinner. It serves about 3-4 people and I recommend serving it with a type of salad.
