Imagine the task of feeding 40 hungry people three meals ...
Ludmilla and Vika are doing a wonderful job keeping us all fed in this modest kitchen. Popular recently has been asheeka sauce made of tomatoes, garlic and something that tastes like horseradish with spices. Its great on everything.

Imagine the task of feeding 40 hungry people three meals a day for months and its 370 km (230 miles) to the nearest grocery store. Ludmilla and Vika from Pevek do an outstanding job serving hot meals with as much variety as you can get given the remoteness of the camp and infrequent resupply. Rice, pasta and kasha (gelishka) are staples topped with meat (beef, pork chicken or fish), delicious sauces, and sometimes a cabbage/onion salad. Milk porridge is an alternative offered for breakfast and commonly they make buns topped with a sugar icing. A variety of soups are also offered daily. Best of all, fresh bread is out on the tables at every meal. They produce all of these things in this modest kitchen with three stoves and one small sink.
