Gornyatko
Organizer
Gornyatko - a series of community kitchen events, with a focus on shaping and developing the Ukrainian community in Zurich, bringing it together with the Zurich citizens. These events have a solidarity base, meaning that all the evening profits are donated to charity organisations in Ukraine.
Cooking is a fundamental cultural tradition in Ukraine, which is forwarded from generation to generation, as a non-verbal memory. It is considered to be a sacred intimate practice, which intends care, generosity, and hospitality. Gornyatko will aim to recreate a warm family-like atmosphere, where people could get closer together and feel cared for.
The word “gornyatko” (from Ukrainian) means a specific small clay pot serving as a cooking material for long-term cooked meals, like borsch, porridges, and ragous. Its linguistic root also appears in the verb “prygortaty”, which means to hug or cover someone /something in a caring way.
