BBC Good Food Rookie & Nice podcast – borsch with Olia Hercules

Join Miriam and Nadiya as they soak up heaps of cooking inspiration from Olia Hercules. They discuss how to cook beetroot and transform it into a warming borsch soup.

Olia was born in Ukraine and now lives and works in the UK as a chef and food writer. She's the author of three cookbooks and her latest, Summer Kitchens: Recipes and Reminiscences from Every Corner of Ukraine, is out now (£26, Bloomsbury).

See the full borsch recipe for more details. Try more of Olia's dishes with her shukhi recipe or her cabbage and sauerkraut-filled pierogis.
