Book Presentation by Veronika Chekaliuk at the Union Club

   A private book presentation by Veronika Chekaliuk took place at the prestigious Union Club in New York, showcasing her books "Food as Communication" and "Tasty Communication". These works are available in both Ukrainian and English on Amazon and in bookstores. The event brought together an engaged audience who discussed the author's ideas and shared their own experiences. The thoughts of Veronika Chekaliuk, as presented in her books, intertwine art, science, and personal stories, leaving readers inspired.

   Chekaliuk’s books serve as gastronomic guides, personal notebooks adorned with her illustrations, and filled with profound reflections on food as a powerful means of communication. The author delves into culinary traditions, contemporary food trends, the psychology of food, and the impact of gastronomic culture on both physical and emotional well-being.

  The central theme of the book is food as a language of communication. From family dinners to business negotiations, shared meals create a unique atmosphere that strengthens connections, helps avoid conflicts, and fosters mutual understanding. Veronika emphasizes that food is more than just ingredients and dishes; it is a way to express creativity, hospitality, and talent.

  The books highlight the importance of creating the right atmosphere during meals. The author offers formulas for successful breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, where communication, creating a harmonious mood, and settling important matters are just as important as the food itself.

  Guests at the Union Club appreciated Veronika Chekaliuk’s innovative approach to culinary topics and her understanding of their role in communication. Her ideas are especially timely ahead of the holidays when shared meals become vital for strengthening family and friendship bonds.

   For Veronika Chekaliuk, presenting her book in New York is a great honor. Her years of experience as a communication researcher, a certified graduate of Stanford University’s "Introduction to Food and Health" course on Coursera, and the University of California, Davis, in sensory wine analysis, are reflected in every page of the book.

   "Food as Communication" is not just about cooking; it’s about creating connections, filling shared moments with meaning and inspiration. As Oscar Wilde once said, “After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relatives.” Veronika Chekaliuk’s work proves that food is not just a dish on a plate. It is the foundation for building relationships, mutual understanding, and harmony. The book makes a great gift! Read it and enrich your communication — tastefully!
