MEET THE CHEFS

In the heart of Ukraine, amidst the turmoil of the Russian invasion, the Lviv Vegan Kitchen (LVK), founded by sisters Marta Ostrovska and Oksana Khomiak, stands as a symbol of hope and resilience. With the conflict beginning in February 2022, LVK swiftly became a cornerstone of compassion, providing essential vegan food aid across Ukraine. Prior to the war, the country was witnessing a surge in veganism, with a notable percentage of the population embracing plant-based diets. However, the outbreak of hostilities propelled Ostrovska and Khomiak to pivot from their entrepreneurial endeavors in handmade jewelry and home decor to fully commit to the cause of LVK.
