Owners of Eastern European pop-up Dacha 46 launch initiative to help Ukraine
CBSN
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February, it came as no surprise to New York pastry chef Jessica Quinn.
"I want to say that it was shock and horror, but it wasn't," she told CBS News. "Growing up with parents who grew up in the U.S.S.R., within Soviet Russia, it almost just felt like history repeating itself… It's obviously a horror to see Russia invading Ukraine, but it's almost like a re-lived horror. We've done this before. We've seen it before."
In a nod to her Jewish Latvian-Ukrainian lineage, Jessica and her wife, chef Trina Quinn, co-founded Dacha 46 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their traveling pop-up is inspired by Eastern European cuisine and culture.
