    Conheci seu site e amei. Meu nome é Ilda Mara e sou brasileira. Tenho 66 anos e meu avò era Ucraniano. Veio para o Brasil quando tinha 14 anos e nos deixou aos 87 anos. Portanto fui criada com a comida nacional da Ucrânia. A mãe dele veio também e trouxe com ela a receita verdadera do Borsch. Gostaria de saber se você aceita que eu lhe envie a mesma, pois é realmente deliciosa. Por favor, me responda no e-mail.
    Lhe enviarei com o maior prazer.
    atenciosamente,
    ILda
