Borshch is tasty and healthy.

Varenyky are tasty, but can be fat and unhealthy.

Uzvar is tasty, healthy and sweet.

Holubtsi are healthy, but not tasty - I don't like the taste of a cabbage.

Chicken Kyiv is tasty, but unhealthy because of the oil.

Nalysnyky are my favourite, they are tasty and can be both healthy and unlealthy, depending on the filling.
