Summer Kitchens

Ukrainian chef Olia Hercules invites us into her kitchen to learn two recipes inspired by the cooking traditions of Ukraine's summer kitchens. First, she makes Chicken Roasted with Garlic-Herb Creme Fraiche, coating the bird inside and out with herb-packed creme fraiche that adds flavor and helps brown the skin. Then, she bakes Ricotta-Semolina Cake with Caramelized Apples, a cake-cheesecake hybrid topped with a layer of silky, buttery, golden-hued apple.
