I love the recipe index in the pages. What a great idea! Would that be OK with you if I copied this pattern? I am sort of playing around with a food blog myself, just for the last three weeks or a month or so.
It is (I know it’s lame to drop a link like that, but)
http://richfoodleantimes.wordpress.com
I welcome links. I’m glad you like my site. You are welcome to copy whatever you like
Oh I just meant copying the pattern where I would create a “Page” (vs. a post) on my blog which will serve as a recipe index – linking to all of the recipes I have posted, divided by category. Since the pages are at the top, people will be able to click on the “page” named “recipes” and see the links to all the recipes of mine.
I’ve been wondering for the longest time – back in the Old Country people used to make this cake frosting that was a combination of condensed milk and butter – my mom was not a big baker, so she never made it and I never learned how – but I remember it was tasty. It was a buttercream of sorts. I think they probably just beat softened butter with a few T of condensed milk. I could figure this out by trial and error, but if you happen to know how to do it, I would love to learn from you!!
The only recipe I have is this: http://natashaskitchen.com/2009/12/02/russian-cream-cheese-frosting-recipe-3-ingredients/ I will see if my mom has any others with condensed milk.
Hello, Natasha’s Kitchen!
I absolutely love your website. It is full of simple and easy authentic Russian recipes.
Thank you!
Hello Tatiana! Thank you very much. I’m glad you like it
By the way, do you have any good recipes for Borsch???
I do actually have a very good recipe for borsch. My husband keeps bugging me to post it. I just have to make it again because I didn’t take a good picture last time I made it. Thanks for motivating me to post it sooner
natasha
Im digging the index page, its easy to find stuff quickly…we made lettuce wraps today yummm! thanks again for posting the recipe
No problemo. You’re welcome. Thanks for inviting me to eat those. We are having the same thing for dinner!
Please post more cake recipes!! Thanks natasha!!!
Any specific ones you’d like to see?
Do you have a good Tiramisu recipe and a “Pyana Vishnya” or drunken cherry cake recipe?
I do actually have an awesome tiramisu recipe that uses biskvit and cream cheese and whipping cream (no mascarpone) and coffee ofcourse. It’s so easy and sooo good! I’ll make it for the next “cake occassion” and will post it. I just forgot to take pictures when I first made it (last month) because I didn’t know how it would turn out, but it was really good!! Pyana vishnya is pretty much the same as my cherry cake cake that I posted except you soak the cherries in liquor and add liquor to the syrup. I haven’t made it that way, so I can’t really recommend what kind of liquor. I like to use Rum with biskvit, so I immagine a little bit of that would work.
umm just any i really loved your roulette and kiev cake!!!! Just any other russian cake you might have that would be gr8!!!!!;)
Hi Natasha! You are doing a wonderful job here! I love this blog You have. I saved you under my favorites now instead of searching elswhere I will check here with you first
Beautiful pictures love your taste!
Do you happen to have the recipe for “Kucheraviy Malchik” I believe thats what its called… Thanks!
I asked my mom and aunt and both have never heard of it. I did find this cake recipe on google (which I haven’t tried yet) and a recipe for cream stabilizer (which I’ve never worked with either)
Stabilizer works very good,the recipe how to use, is on the back of the package. It’s called Whip it and brand is Dr. Oetker made in Canada, blue package
This blog is such a fantastic resource for recipes..I am so happy I came across it. I was just wondering if you have a tried-and-tested recipe for ‘Tscherepaha’ (Turtle Cake)? Thank you for sharing your recipes and God bless you!
Hi Diana, thank you! I’ve never made that cake, but I will ask my relatives to see if they have a recipe for it that I could try out. I always test my recipes and only post those we really enjoy and make often. Welcome to the site and I hope you find new recipes that you will love!
to Diana, I have a very good recipe of the “turtle cake” I always make it around Thanksgiving and Christmas time. Even my husband, who is not much of a sweets-lover, really enjoys this one when I make it. I can e-mail you the recipe if you contact me: anastasiya_shelest@hotmail.com
Emmm….. would you know by any chance of a chocolate chip cookie recipe? It would be great to make ones that you can keep in a cookie jar longer! Thanks!!!!
Is it strange that I don’t ever make chocolate chip cookies? My sister makes great chocolate chip cookies. I’ll ask her for the recipe.
I have an awesome chocolate chip recipe that I found, and have made several times since, if you’d like I could email it to you if you would like, send me an email at buzhduga_olga@hotmail.com i’ll be happy to pass on the recipe
I absolutely LOVE your site! I think it’s so great how you have compiled all these recipes for us Ukrainians and Russians (and other nationalities). I always have to search and ask for a recipe that I want to make from my mom or aunts and this site just has it all. Plus with the younger generation straying away from Ukrainian foods I think this is a great come back! So basically, thank you! And keep up the great work
I’m so glad you like it. Thank you for the inspiration!
Hi Natasha’s Kitchen! Thank you for open this site. I hope all womens and girls who visit this site will make happy familys with new dishes. God Bless you.:)
Thank you Lyuda!! God bless you too!
Hi, would you be able to post some recipe for authentic ukrainian stuffed cabbage rolls. My husband used to have them with buckweat(kasha), beef/pork when he was a kid, and my mom used to make them just with pork/rice. Either one will work. Would you be able to share a recipe? BTW, love your webside and your collection of recipes.
Hi Lena, I have that recipe posted. Stuffing with buckwheat/kasha sounds really good. Thank you for the idea. Here is the link to stuffed cabbage: http://natashaskitchen.com/2010/07/05/golubtsi-recipe-a-classic-russian-food/. I also have stuffed bell peppers posted. They are similar.
Wow! I really like your website! I’ll be sure to come back and check out the recipes you share. This is my first time visiting your website. I have been looking for plov recipes and eventually came accross your page. I can’t wait to try the recipes you have posted. They look delicious! Just looking at your pictures makes me hungry.
Good luck in the future! 
God bless you! Keep it up girl!
Thanks Julie! Welcome to the site and I hope you do enjoy the recipes
hey natasha,
easter is almost here!!!…and i was wondering if you had any classic recipes of babki (sweet bread with raisins) i would really like to try making it. thanks.
I have a recipe for Paska which sounds similar, but I haven’t tested it yet, so I don’t think I’ll have anything like that in time for Easter.

I live in washington state and im only 1/4 russian but my grandma is 100% and im going to show her this site it will probably bring back memories of recipes and things like that. I just want to say keep up the good work. Its refreshing to come back to this site and see its being updated still. Thanks for giving people like me a place to go for authentic recipes from my heritage

Natasha! I think I used like 4 of your recipes for my mother’s day tea I had for my mom and sisters. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to try out even more recipes!
Hi Kristina – I saw the picture of your cake. It looks awesome! What will you call it? Looks like you threw a nice tea party for mother’s day. I’m so glad you like the recipes

Hi Natasha!
I just found out about your site and love it. It is very helpful you show recipes with pictures and clear explanations I tried couple recipes already and it turned out to be very good.. You inspired me to cook and bake more.. Thank you..
Hi Lena – i’m so glad you like the recipes and pictures
I appreciate pictures with recipes as well (even though sometimes my photos are a little overkill 
Thank you!
Hello Natasha. I love your website. I go here at least once a week for recipes, and ideas. If you had this blog 10 years ago it would’ve saved me hundred phone calls to my mom when I just got merried and was learning how to cook Russian/Ukrainian food
. But seriously, I would love to buy your book if you ever consider it.
Thanks Dina
Hi Natasha,
I just found your blog and the food looks amazing.. i’m looking forward to making some recipes when I get some free time!
Hi Natasha, you have a beautiful and helpful site. I was wondering if you had or knew where I could find a recipe for salat lyeto? They sell it canned in the store, but it doesn’t seem to difficult to make. Thank you so much!
I’ve never heard of it, can u describe it?
Hi Natasha… WOW i am so excited to try out some of there yummy recipes… im so glad that i found this site… and with Thanksgiving coming up I sooo needed some ideas for new foods… Thanks again… and God Bless your family!
Thank you Tanya – I hope you find new favorites
God bless you and your family as well!
Love your website! I lived in Belarus for many years & my husband is Belarussian. Do you have a good black bread recipe? I can’t seem to find one that tastes like what I bought in the store.
Deven, homeschooling mommy of Nicolai, Juliana, Gabriella & Olivia.
Unfortunately I don’t have a good recipe but I’ll let u know if I find one. By the way you have given your children beautiful names!
I love your site! Had a small suggestion, if you’d like to consider it. Could you maybe on your next posts also write the approx. time it takes to make the dish. It would be awesome if you could! Sometimes it’d be nice to try something but you’re limited on time and not sure how long the recipe would take.
thanks.
Hi Natasha,
I accidently got in your site. I just reviewed your recipies. Thanks a lot for sharing them online. I like the recipe for Ukrainian druniki, I think I’ll cook them tonight and also zuccini. My husband is Ukrainian, so he’ll be happy.
The Q. I have is not related to this subject. Do you live in Sacramento? As I understood, you are christian, (reading your comments before recipies, I percieved that). If you are, that’s awesome. May God bless you in what you’re doing.
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful recipies. I tried a few and they are wonderful. I will continue to use your website throughout my cooking. God Bless your family.
Love all your recipes and clear directions! Thank u! looking forward to more…:)))
Hi, I’ve been coming here for recipes for quite some time, and I’d like to say thank you for such a great blog. Your pictures are beautiful and the step by step directions are so easy to follow. Every dish I made was a success. I always mention your site to my family and friends, and they love it too. So thanks again!
Thank you Yelena! That really means alot to me
What an awesome recipe index. I really like how you arranged it and included all the beautiful pictures. You are so organized. You are an inspiration, Natasha. What a wonderful site for great Slavic recipes (and other cuisines too). I tell all my friends about it:) Everything always turns out delicious too. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Olga!! I’m so glad you started a blog as well. I love to see all your new posts!
Thanks for sharing. You have amazing recepies and your blog is easy to follow:)
Ohh I shud put my last comment in Waffle Cake in here hehehe… Btw, any chances to make some menus for kids?
I’ve been thinking about that, but haven’t had time. Maybe once I’m done with school.
Can’t wait for kids menus
Anyway, best wishes for your school! Cheers from Australia 
Hi Natasha, I’m loving your page, I was wondering if you have a recipe for холодец, my huband absolutely loves it
Katerina, I don’t have one posted but it’s on my to-do list. My mom makes a very good one!
I’ll be sure to check back for it
My mom has told me how but her recipe is so russian everything is in grams 
I still don’t have grams down. Probably never will. And that’s ok
I just love you’re website with you’re recipes, its the best website I have ever found. Thank YOU!
Oh my goodness, thank you Viola! You are so sweet
Natasha-
I would like to thank you for inspiring so many with your blog. I’m excited everytime I try a new recipe and it tastes amazing! Many recipes online give the ingrediants and directions, but those tend to be confusing. Your blog is so detailed and easy to follow. Thank you again!! Be blessed and continue blogging more delicious creations!
Krista, thank you so much! Your comment means so much to me
I’m so pleased you like the recipes!
