Ciao Natasha,
I love your recipes.
My name is Simona I was born in Romania and I live in Sydney Australia.
I came across your site when I was searching for the Russian Neapolitan cake. I have a friend from Moldova who asked if I know how to cook this cake.
I am happy to have found your site.
Kind Regards,
Simona Stan
Welcome to the site! It’s awesome to know there are people here from all over the world!
Hey Natasha my daughter and a group of three other kids are studing about Russia and they have have to cook some kind of Russian food. I figured a dessert would probably be easiest do you have any suggestions? The easier the better:)
Thanks
Keri
Russian tea cakes are super easy and really good!
Hi Natasha,
I have been your “secret” fan for almost half a year already. Your site taught me soo much! Thank you for all the wonderful recipes! Truly, can not have enough of it… I always check out for the new recipes. I just love to experiment too. Usually, everything comes out right the first time (thanks to your detailed directions and pictures). I spread the word as much as I can because I enjoy your website. It is a great vision you have about this blog. Surely, a LOT of work. May God bless you richly and give you strength to continue, so others may be blessed the way I am!

Liana, thank you so much!! I always love to hear from my readers and am blessed by your comments. I see you have a tea website. I love tea! What is your absolute favorite from your website? How does it compare to teavana?
Yes, we do sell teas. Our teas are similar to Teavana’s but not all of them are exactly the same. For example, Teavana makes its own blends and it means they have their own recipes for them. But teas that come without fruits and flavors (pure white, green, black, oolong teas) are the same. We carry a large variety of more than 200 different teas, which many of them we blend ourselves. The favorites of course, depend on people’s personal preference. I just love the following: Pomegranate Green, Mango Tango, Cafe Caribbean, Summer Peach, Snowberry, Annie’s Secret Garden, Rooibos Berry, Lemon Blast, Roses’s Tea Room, Earl Grey Fancy, etc. If you would like to try something, I will be more than happy to send it to you.
I’m currently hooked on Teavana, but that’s only because I’m kinda stubborn to try new things. My favorites at Teavana are Rooibos Tropica mixed with Jasmine Dragon Pearls. Would that be the same as rooibos berry plus the jasmine dragon phoenix pears that you have? I’d love to see how it compares. I also really like their peach tranquility; that’s probably similar to your summer peach. I’d love to try those!
I think that Rooibos Tropica would be close to tropical taste instead of berry (the one we have). But I can definitely send you these ones. Is peach tranquility a black tea? What is your preference among the teas?
I like herbal and black tea, but the peach one I have is herbal, but too weak, so maybe peach black tea would be better?
Sure. What are your contacts?
I will email you
Liana, I received the tea today and have already tried a couple. I’m loving this summer peach tea as I type. It’s perfect! Thank you so much!
Hello Natasha, Thank you for the website, and for all of your ammmmy….. recipes!
I was reading comments for Boccone Dolce Cake Recipe, and came to notice that you been talking to a girl name Anastasia. And she mentioned that she also has her own cooking website. I have looked her website online, however, no luck…
If it’s no problem for you, could you give me a hint a name of her website. I would really appriciate any help, thank you again!
And if you don’t mind me asking… which state are you living in? You sometimes post some places to go and visit, for example (cafe….) and i’m sure in what state it’s located….
Thank you,
Aleona.
Hi Aleona
I live in Idaho (Boise/Meridian/Nampa Area is what I usually post about). Anastasia had a typo in her website name. I fixed it. It’s actually: mamarazzimadness.blogspot.com
Thank you, and i live in Denver, Co…. Nice to meet you…. I have been meaning to write to you earlier, but did not had time. I just want to ask a question, between being a mom and doing medical school, where do you fine a time to keep the blog going? As far as i know you do cook the food before you posted, online, right?
Aleona.
Yes it is difficult to keep it up. Everything takes longer because of the photography (backgrounds, lighting, presentation) and documenting the steps, etc,. It all takes lots of time. I guess I make it a priority. My program keeps me super busy, but I feel like I’ve had a life outside of school because I have kept my priorities straight (or I’ve tried to!).
Of course, yes I do cook the food myself. Many times I cook with my hubby which is always a huge help! He is my hero with the blog because he sometimes even posts a couple on his own! He does the majority of the photo editing and helps me behind the scenes. He’s wonderful. I am blessed to have such a husband 
Glad to hear that, and thank you and your hubby for doing such a great job. My sisters sugested your site, and i’m glad they did.
Keep up a good work, and many blessings.
Aleona.
Natasha, I love your website, you do a great job and your recipes have saved me not once! Do you know any recipes with turnip (редька)? Thank you so much and God bless you
Hi Gulyana, I’ve never worked with turnips before. I guess that’s going on my list
. Thank you and God bless you too!
Hi Natasha!
Where can i buy sorrel ? I went to Albertsons Haggans, they didnt even know what it is. Ah, i so wanted to make the sorel soup.
They usually have it at the specialty type stores and also check farmers markets. If you plant it, it re-grows every year.
Hello Natasha
I was wondering what kind of meat
you put on the sandwhich on the
picture of Ana’s baby shower 7?
Irina, it’s smoked salmon from Costco; they now have one with cracked peppers on the edges
It’s good, but a little pricey in my frugal opinion.
Thank-you!
You have the best recipes Natasha!!!Love your website soo much!!! God bless you much!!!
Welcome to the site
God bless you as well. Hope you find some new favorite recipes!
