In the latest episode of Life in Food with Laura Price, I talk about Food and War with Alissa Timoshkina, who co-founded the Cook for Ukraine fundraising initiative with her friend Olia Hercules. In the episode, we talk about her campaign to fight conflict and violence with food and love, what she has learned from Russia's war on Ukraine, and how her Jewish-Ukrainian grandmother taught her that the human spirit cannot be extinguished through war.
