About Chef Oleg Shcherbakov:

Oleg grew up in the Western Ukrainian city of Uzhgorod, close to Hungary and Slovakia. His first experience with cooking was as a young boy while his mother was at work. This developed into a life-long passion. Oleg’s creative cooking, combined with his love for travel and all authentic cuisines are what drive him to share the beauty of creating good food, both from his own traditions and from others he has gathered along the way. After visiting the Hudson Valley and Berkshires, he fell in love with this region, its own culinary traditions and local ingredients.

Oleg understands that food is what connects us – it nurtures and helps us to understand and embrace others. While some dishes he makes come from his own family recipes passed down to him, others came from the region he grew up in with its unique history and regional flavor. Each dish he makes shares that history, but mostly it shares his passion and love of good food. Passion and love are main ingredients of Authentic Eats by Oleg – https://www.authentic-eats.com/ . His goal is to create unforgettable, truly authentic experiences, not only from his traditions but from others he has studied along the way.
