Tatiana Zalozh and her sister, Natasha Kozhukharenko, both of Sedalia, usually only cook lavish Russian meals for special occasions and weddings, but recently they prepared several dishes for guests.
The women come from a family of 13, including their parents Mikhail and Nadia Zalozh, who came to the United States 19 years ago from Izmail, Ukraine. The family moved to the Sedalia area 12 years ago.
