Kozak, in Ukrainian, means warrior. Historically, they were the Ukrainian samurai and medieval knight. Brave. Fierce. And, apparently, serious foodies.
“If you know the history of the Cossacks, you won’t be surprised to find that Ukrainians, who seem quiet and humble at first sight, can … become courageous warriors,” says an article titled ‘Why Are Cossacks Key to Understanding the Ukrainian Nation?’ in ukraineworld.org.
After witnessing the bravery of Ukrainians in recent weeks, it’s obvious why Irina Karpenko named her three restaurant/bakeries Kozak Eatery and Bakery.
