Title

  • Multigenerational Ukrainian Foodways with Roman Kovbasniuk

Summary

  • Central and Northern New Jersey are home to some of the first Ukrainian communities established in the U.S., and generations of Ukrainian families have continued carrying on Ukraine's wide variety of traditional arts, including embroidery, pysanky and foodways. This film features, Roman Kovbasniuk, a "1.5 generation" Ukrainian-American cook who adds his own layer of meaning to his family recipe. After enjoying the traditional foods all his life, he recently learned how to make several of the dishes from his mother and his grandmother. He demonstrates his own twist on Holubtsi, or cabbage rolls. His is a perfect foodways example of "innovation with the tradition." The American Folklife Center's Homegrown Foodways in Central New Jersey film series is a collaboration with folklorist Sally Van de Water and colleagues at the Arts Institute of Middlesex County where Van de Water is folklife programs manager. The series highlights in three films the many ways that foodways are essential to create, reinforce and reinvent community.
