The first-generation American daughter of Belarusian immigrants, chef Bonnie Morales grew up in Chicago in a large family that brought with them the distinctive culture of food and drink of the former Soviet Union. She trained at the Culinary Institute of America, and top kitchens in New York and Chicago. Kachka opened in Portland in 2014, inspired by the food of the former Soviet republics. Kachka’s received myriad accolades, including Eater’s Best Restaurants in America from 2015-2018. Morales was named Rising Star Chef by StarChefs, and was a finalist for the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northwest. Morales’ first cookbook, "Kachka: A Return to Russian Cooking", was released in 2017.
