Їzhak

їzhak is an independent publishing house which specialises in gastronomy.

The publishing house exists as part of їzhakultura, an academic information project, which was created by Artem Braichenko and Olena Braichenko with aim to popularising important academic developments in the field of gastronomy and supporting and promoting Ukrainian academics who work in the field of food studies.
