  Alyona Chyzhevska, right, her husband, Oleg Chyzhevski, right, and their son, Vlad, centre, run Duke Fine Foods together. In addition to selling fine European food, they are creating community at their neighbourhood store in Bells Corners.

• Shelves are stocked with pickles and other preserves imported from Ukraine. The fish counter at Duke Fine Foods stocks smoked mackerel, seen here, and salted herring — both European treats.

• Alyona Chyzhevska, top, cuts some of the deli meats to make sandwiches — more than five kinds of ham and 25 different kinds of salami — on offer at Duke Fine Foods.
