About
Hi there! My name is Natasha Kravchuk. My handsome husband, Vadim and I happily run this blog together full time (more on that below).
I come from a family of fantastic cooks and I’m here to share generations of Ukrainian-American recipes that are homey, fresh, healthy, family-friendly, sometimes bizarre and occasionally naughty. We also have unique and decadent desserts from Europe and around the world.
My family:
I used to be so shy I thought no one would marry me until my husband came along and swept me off my feet. I married (up) to my wonderful husband Vadim over 15 years ago. We are blessed with two littles. Every recipe is tasted and approved by each of us and is often critiqued by relatives and friends. We live in Idaho, “Ida-who?” Potatoes, people. Potatoes! Our family attends Life Church in Boise. We strive to walk in love and live our lives by the word of God and life of Jesus.
My background:
We’re so thankful to be full time foodies. We’re living our dream because of you and I can’t thank you enough! I feel like God has worked all of my experiences together like a puzzle to bring me to this point. It took me a little bit to discover what God had in mind for me. I thank God for everything, without Whom I would be merely human (and that would suck).
Here’s the rundown:
*Starting as a teen, I worked for 7 years as a business intern
*I have a bachelors degree in Business (long story)
*I worked as a Realtor for 4 years during which I had an early mid-life crisis and cried alot (lets just say it wasn’t for me).
*I also have a Bachelors degree in Nursing (shorter story, but still long).
So, I’m a wife, mom, food blogger, entrepreneur, worship leader, and nurse. If I were a sandwich, I’d be a chicken bacon avocado on focaccia.
About Natasha’s Kitchen:
I started this food and family blog in 2009 as a way to share favorite recipes and events with family and friends. It has grown much larger than I could have imagined with well over 900 recipes and about 5 Million hungry visitors per month.
My goal for this site is for people around the world to really discover and fall in love with cooking (particularly Russian and Ukrainian food). I know its a big dream, but why would someone want a small dream?
This is a personal website and all of the recipes are tested and approved by my family. All of the photography is done by myself and I’m the one showing up in our videos. My husband edits the photos and videos (and he’s the videographer single handedly running 3 cameras at once).
Much of the knowledge I share comes from my Mama, Mama-in-law and family members. I am so thankful to have such amazing people in my life who generously share their rich knowledge of Cooking.
The ingredients we use are simple and easily accessible; not overly hoity-toity. My motto: if you can read (a well-written, tested and trusted recipe), you can cook
How I got Started Cooking:
I wasn’t always excited about cooking. When I got married in 2003, it became a necessity – “must eat to live” and Mom wasn’t doing the cooking anymore. We had a lot of frozen meals (pizza, corn dogs; #ewe #ewe #ewe) – and we ate out too much in the first year of our marriage. I had a free summer (and decided I would improve my cooking skills so we could live and eat healthier. I dove into cookbook after cookbook and plundered my mom’s recipe books. I was at the library all the time bringing home piles of cookbooks; I was hooked! I even read my mother’s cooking textbook from her college days (Mom completed her culinary program when we moved to the US). I had discovered the joy of cooking. Within a few months, my husband and I each lost about 5 pounds just from cooking more at home! Now I can’t stop cooking and thinking about cooking and dreaming about cooking… I was born for this!
Culture and Background
My family moved from Ukraine to the US as refugees when I was 4 years old. I grew up eating authentic Ukrainian and Russian food. No doubt many of my recipes will have a Slavic origin and influence. I do love Russian/Ukrainian food and I hope the recipes on this site invoke the same love in you for the rich variety of foods of the Slavic culture.
My recipe collection continues to grow. I love to try new recipes and will share my favorites with you. I hope you enjoy this blog and find recipes that will become your family favorites as well.
Thank you for visiting my recipe blog, commenting, pinning and sharing the recipes with your peeps. And come back soon!

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
I made your Lasagne Roll Ups for my husbands office Christmas party and everybody raved about them. Thank you for creating this easy to follow recipe and video as well as an exceptional tasting dish.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Hello, Natasha. I am a big fan of you and your husband’s work. A great site and fantastic recipes. I am a 76 year old widower who has always loved to cook. You are a great inspiration with your diverse recipes and presentation. Thanks again. Just thought I’d mention an Australian recipe called Egg and Bacon Pie…. really simple, yet delicious. Best wishes always to you and yours, and for the coming Christmas and New Years. Kind regards, Kenton Elliott.
Hi Kenton, thank you for the encouraging feedback. I really appreciate it! If you have a specific recipe you love to use for Egg and Bacon Pie, I would love to try it. It sounds delicious!
🎶On the tweflth day of pizzas my admirer sent to me: Twelve dozen orders, eleven peppers slicing, ten sausage heapings, nine workers prancing, eight mushroom helpings, seven sauces-a-filling, six doughs-a-making…five…phone…riiiings…four slave-drivers, three waste bins, two coupons off…And a pie full of extra thick cheese!🎶
I sang it in my head as I read it. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Please tell me what the Avery Label number is…i had them printed on #22825 and much of the info didn’t fit on the label?!?
Thanks so much for such a great gift idea!!
Hi Path Star, we have the exact labels linked in the vanilla extract post.
Again I found an error. Recipe for banana bread with raisins and walnuts… The ingredient list says to add baking soda but when I read the article mbefore the listed recipe ingredients it says baking powder… so again I don’t know how my bread is going to turn out because I put baking soda in it. So please advise was it supposed to be baking powder or baking soda? It’s frustrating Because if it doesn’t turn out then I’ve just wasted all those ingredients and they’re going to go in the garbage.
Hi Theresa, Baking soda is correct so no worries. Thanks for pointing that out. In the quick summary that was a typo and it has been corrected. The print-friendly recipe, instructions and video are correct: baking soda.
Natasha…I am a new viewer. I like your recipes and that you share some Russian and Ukrainian recipes.
Your kiddos are adorable as well as that hubby of yours. Lol
A very good friend of mine is from Ukraine and she made it clear that she was not Polish!!!!. There is a beautiful, ornate Ukrainian Catholic Church in the neighborhood, in Detroit, in which she lives. Just an interesting bit of nastalgia for me.
I’m so glad you discovered our blog, welcome! & thank you so much for sharing that with me!
I’ve been following you and your blog for only a couple of weeks. After just reading your personal story and about your faith in Jesus Christ, I LOVE you even more. I’m here in sunny Orange County, CA and have enjoyed all your recipes thus far. Many blessings to you and your precious family. God is so good!
Thank you so much Tara for writing in. I am blessed by your words and God bless you also!! I hope you have a beautiful Christmas.
I made your turkey recipe for Thanksgiving. I cooked with my sister and my mom and dad. I liked it a lot. Can you make a brownie recipe? Can you send me your kitchen tour video? I like your cooking tips and your website. Thank you
Hi Nava, you can find our kitchen tour video here. & thank you for that suggestion!
I have always liked to cook, but since I have found your recipes, I enjoy it even more. You recipes are for normal people, thing we fix for our selves. Thank you.
That’s just awesome, Roy! I’m so glad you’re finding our recipes helpful!
Hi Natasha! My husband and I stumbled upon your recipes while desperately searching Pinterest for some recipes to update our weekly menus, which had sadly gotten extremely repetitive. We have tried a few so far, and absolutely love them! We especially love your Youtube vidoes, and since we found you 2 weeks ago have made it a regular daily watch in our house. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes and making it easy enough for us two cooking novices to follow along with as well! We thank you especially for sparking a joy and enthusiasm for cooking in us that we didn’t know we had!
Take care and God bless you and your beautiful family!
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles!
Hi Natasha I must say your blog Facebook recipes and cooking tips are awesome I have adapted some for slow cooker due to me and wife both full time workers but can say really nice easy and tasty much love to you and your family
I’m so glad to hear that, John! Thank you for that awesome review.
Would love to see some baby recipes and how to on you tube.
Hi Zen, since we don’t currently have a baby in the house, the chances are slim for us to post any baby recipes right now, but many of our recipes are healthy and can be pureed or finely chopped for babies (depending on age ofcourse). Thank you for the request.
Natasha,
I am so glad I by default wandered into your site. I am trying to start cooking more and eating healthy. I am 39 married no children and my husband and I need to eat healthier. He doesn’t seem to want the change but mentally I would like to feel better. I’m petite 120 but would like to feel better. He will see my changes hopefully and fall into the same mindset. Thank you for having this blog and dedicating yourself to doing this for yourself and others. I can’t wait to read recipes u have posted.
You’re welcome, Heather! I hope you find our recipes helpful and satisfying!
Natasha! Thank you so much for your recipes!! Your instructions are always crystal clear. My family (picky kids included) has enjoyed every single dish and dessert so far! That said, are you planning on doing a cookbook anytime soon?
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great!
I love all your recipes I love to cook also love eating good food thank you for all you recipes Donna Ornellas
You’re welcome, Donna! Thank you for that great feedback.
Dear Natasha
Can I print out your recipe for lasagna roll ups? I can only follow through with your utube video but would prefer a printed version.
Thank you
Hi Irene, you sure can, follow this link here and press print icon on the printer-friendly option towards the bottom of the post.
Hi Natasha, so glad that I saw your facebook page and learned a lot of recipes from you. Just tried your mashed potato recipe last night and my husband really complements it. Thanks for sharing your recipes and looking forward to more Christmas recipes. From Philippines with love
I’m so happy to hear that Manilyn! Thank you for that great feedback!
Hi Natasha, I just found your site. I am 85 years old and just bought my first Instant Pot. {You can teach an old dog new tricks}. I love to cook and look forward to trying your recipes. I am a widow but when my husband was alive we enjoyed cooking together. I appreciate your faith in God. He has been my strength daily.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Carol. Blessings to you!
Dear Natasha
I look forward to our connection. I am 60 years old. I didn’t cook for my family very often some 10 years ago. I can’t agree more to cook for my family is so fun and enjoyable. Thanks for your sharing. Very encouraging.
I’m so glad you are enjoying our site. Thank you for your encouraging message. It really means so much!
I just adore you and your cooking videos. The food is delicious, your instruction is clear *and* entertaining, and I always learn something new from you. And to top it off, you are just so dang adorable. Keep up the great job!
Thank you for that thoughtful compliment, Tracey! You’re so nice!
I just discovered your blog! My hubby & I are originally from Pittsburgh & grew up eating many of your favorite foods. We have lived in MD for the last 26 years. We can’t find any of the foods we grew up on at Fish Fries in churches (especially during Lent). I had to explain haluski to people behind the deli. And they pronounced it halyou-ski. I also had to explain German Potato Salad several times until people fell in love with it. I am so excited to see what recipes you have & look forward to trying all of them!! Your littles are so cute with their beautiful blue eyes!!
I’m so glad you discovered our blog, Maribeth! Thank you for that great review!
I am from Australia ,found your lovely family blog today which includes some great recipes, I will visit again , thank you. Marg
I’m so glad you discovered our blog, Margaret! Welcome!
Made your Easy Chicken Kiev Recipe and loved it, as did my guests. I am not very good with the knife and your tip on how to mend a whole was amazing. I was surprised at how well it worked. Thanks!
I’m so glad that was helpful! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Natasha
Thanks for giving me new things to try. It beets having the same old boring stuff. I do have a question. Hungarian noodles? Have you cooked them before and is there a secret to them? I thought I would ask you to see if you had any experience making them and recipes you could suggest. Thanks again
Hi Arloa, I don’t have a recipe for that yet but if I come up with something great, I will be sure to share it.
Hi. As a hungarian I might be abel to help you. What do you exactly mean with noodles? For soup or the “nudli” made from potatoes?
Hi Natasha..since i bump into ur page..im really magnetized? now im following u and thanks for sharing ur yummy recipes..in trying to learn cooking delicious meals now..keep it up!
I’m so glad you discovered our blog! Thank you for that awesome feedback & compliment.
Natasha, thank you for your beautiful blog and messages. My husband went on a two-year mission trip to the Czech Republic, and has longed for a reliable source of Eastern European recipes our whole marriage (of 13 years). You have saved the day! I love cooking from your blog; it always make him so happy!
But most of all, I want to thank you for your example of unabashed faith in Jesus and the influence it has on your life! I love that you included this in your blog description. The world needs more people like you! Best of luck with your blog and your beautiful family!
Aww that’s the best, Christina! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
Turkey recipe question- Hi Natasha. I’m going to try your turkey recipe this week. One question- you mention non-extra virgin oil with butter rub. why is that? Thanks!
Hi Doug, that will allow for the higher smoke point. Extra virgin Oil will burn and smoke once it reaches a certain temperature. Most bottles have a note on how high of a heat you can cook with. The Turkey recipes needs a pretty high temperature.
Good point- perhaps Canola oil?
Hi Doug, yes that will work.
Hey Natasha! I have been following along with your facebook videos and am in love with your recipes! I am an RN and I love to cook/relieve stress on my off days by cooking new recipes. what is a recipe you suggest for a quick work lunch?
I worked as an RN for a couple of years in Telemetry before I went into full-time nursing. I have great respect for the nurses of the world 🙂 The shrimp fried rice is a personal favorite but there are so many great ideas of recipes that reheat well. Lasagna roll-ups also come to mind right away.
Absolutely adore everything you make! I am especially excited to have found you since my husband has Ukrainian heritage and I am of German/Slovak descent. Exciting to see recipes from the Old World and to see a fresh take on other cuisine. We live in Idaho too…Caldwell!!
Wow! That’s just awesome, Kristin! Thank you for sharing that with us, I’m so glad you discovered our blog.
Years ago I was watching a movie and saw a Russian way of drinking hot tea. He added some kind of cherry sauce it looked like it may have had whole cherries. Love to know this way of drinking tea.
I haven’t seen that before so I’m not sure.
Jliz. That was tea with cherry varenye. Varenye is made by cooking whole berry (black currants, cherries, gooseberries, strawberries, etc.) in a sugar syrup. The difference between a russian fruit or berry preserve and a jam is that the fruit is not macerated and there is NO pectin – thus the runny syrup with whole berries. Varenye is served in a vase often as a tea treat. Each person can serve him/herself a few spoonfuls into an individual small dish – rosette – or add it directly into the hot black tea instead of sugar (no cream obviously). Try unflavored black tea like English Breakfas with Bon Maman cherry or raspberry preserve to taste – 2-3 tea spoons is my preference. It’s a perfect winter treat. My mother used to make cherry varenye where the pit was removed and a walnut piece was stuffed into each and every cherry!
What a beautiful description of a classic Eastern European tradition of how to drink tea.
lya and Natasha,
Thanks so much, can’t wait to give it a try. For the life of me, I can’t remember the movie I saw it but I sure remember how great the tea looked.
Jliz
I am going to use a bread stuffing to stuff the turkey. Do you allow another 30 minutes cook time?
Hi Barbara, I don’t cook stuffing inside the turkey because it isn’t traditional in our family and the juices from the turkey drip into the stuffing while baking so the stuffing needs to get to 145˚F for it to be safe for consumption and by that time, the turkey breast becomes much too dry. I’ve seen some methods pre-cooking the stuffing partially and others make the stuffing and bake it in a separate dish and serve it on the side.
I am a Russian background Canadian, married to a Japanese and living in Japan now for over 30 years! I run a bakery and taught cooking classes for 18 years here and my family also loves the kind of Russian food that I grew up with. My mother was from…what is known today as…Ukraine. This food is near and dear to my heart! I am a late comer to your videos and find them so fun and informative and before I actually knew of your nationality, I just knew you were from somewhere “there” when I saw you eat pierogi!!
I love your life story and how your walk with God is so important. Keep the good recipes coming and I will keep watching…Happy cooking and baking! God bless!
Thank you for that thoughtful comment and review, Debbie! & for sharing your story! Blessings to you!
I just Made your Horseradish cream sauce.. It is Fabulous Thank you –
You’re welcome! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed that.
I have tried several of your recipes and have loved them all .I think you make them nice and clear on the videos that they are easy to follow I love your wave to us when you begin the video Thank You
Thank you for that wonderful compliment!
Love all of your recipes! Thanks for sharing. Do you have a good beef podliva recipe? Can’t find a good one online.
Thanks
Hi Christina, I don’t currently but the closest thing I have would be a beef stroganoff.
Hi Natasha, I have watched so many cooking shows but none have attracted me like yours. there was something about you that kept drawing me to your posts on facebook and realized that it was your goofiness and joyful spirit that caught my attention. I just read your story and i”m so happy and blessed to know that you’re a Christian. I have made some of your recipes which were a hit with the family. Thank you for sharing your recipes with the world. God continu to shine HIS light on you, your family and business.
You’re welcome, Martha! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed this recipe.
Hi Natasha!
I’ve been trying some of your Russian/Ukrainian recipes and loving them all so far!! The food is so tasty
I just had a question aside from the cooking and recipes, how do you manage to stay so fit with all this delicious food? Is there a particular workout routine you follow? haha XD
Hi Kiara, No secrets here. Everything in moderation and a great metabolism take credit here.
Hi Natasha, Your chicken fried rice and wondering if you have a Beef fried rice recipe. Thanks
Hi Cheryl, I do not but I imagine substituting that shouldn’t be a problem! If you experiment please let me know how you like that.
Your recipes are easy and SOOO good!
Do you have a Manhattan Clam Chowder recipe?
Thank you.
Hi Ruth, we have this Clam Chowder recipe here you may enjoy. We also have a New England Clam chowder on our blog.
I have to admit that I’ve been following your blog on and off for some time now. I spent four years living in Russia and just missed some of the foods. I think I found the site leading up to the Sochi Olympics when I wanted to share some Russian culture with the girls at a youth residency where I worked at the time. The braised cabbage really got me hooked. Since then I’ve married a great guy who unfortunately doesn’t appreciate cabbage and buckwheat as much as I might hope. (But, hey, nobody’s perfect.)
Some of our favorite recipes still come from this site though–the creamy chicken and rice is always a no fail option.
Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for all the great food and I hope you’re able to continue for a long time.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed our recipes & blog! Thank you for sharing that with me!
Hi, my father was from Ukraina but his heritage from Latvia.
He used to bake salry fish with onions, raisins and white wine I miss him and this dish so much. Any way to restore it? Thanks
Hi Judith, I’m not sure I have tried that dish. Do you recall the name by chance?
Natashia, I have become a devoted fan…you are a beautiful, funny woman, great recipes and I love how you have everything at hand when preparing your food (unlike some of the shows that are so unprepared). Keep them coming and I will keep watching daily.
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles!
Hi, I am a follower of your blog all the way from Europe in Malta. Recently I tried the Burritos and they were absolutely wonderful and an instant hit.
Thank you for your blog and keep it going.
All the best or as we say in Maltese – Saħħa.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Darren!
Hello Natasha,
I have tried making your beef and broccoli, salisbury steak, and spaghetti and meatballs. All the dishes came out amazingly delicious!!! I couldn’t believe how flavorful everything was. I must say your spaghetti sauce was spectacular. I am still getting compliments and I made it a few days ago. The meatballs are moist and tasty.The layout of each recipe is so organized, the introduction to the recipe and the helpful hints and preparation along with the illustrations. I am so excited to try out more of your recipes. Just wanted to say thank you for being true to your word. Your an amazing chef!!!
Thank you for such an inspiring and encouraging comment. I really appreciate that!
I love to watch your cooking videos and your sense of humor is great ! Today I am so excited to make the Spatchock chicken. My husband is just as excited to eat it. I pray it comes out good. Tomorrow I am making your Apple turnovers. Hoping that I don’t mess those up.
Thanks for all your delicious recipes and may God bless you abundantly !
Annie
I hope you love everything you try from our blog and thank you for the encouraging message. You’re awesome!
I love your recipes. what do you have for thanksgiving?
I am hooked!!!
Hi Bea! We have so many great options! Our favorite Thanksgiving archives can be found here.
Hi Natasha, I tried your recipe for Vareninki (pierogi) dough and love it! It’s so much easier to work with than my mothers recipe… After I tried it I called mom and shared it with her. She’s excited to try it too. Mom is the one that told me about your site by the way, she loves it! I too, am a fan. The sour cream makes the dough so much easier to work with~ delicious! Thank you
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Lana!
Hi Natasha, I can’t say enough about your recipes…. Love them! I save so many off Facebook and quite often search for my favourites when creating a meal plan for my weekly dinners. I’ve even got my mom saving your recipes now too.
I’m wondering if you’ve considered a weekly meal plan link with grocery lists on your website?
p.s. can’t wait for your cookbook !
Hi Colleen, Thank you for that suggestion!
Hello Natasha:
I have been following your cooking blog for few years now. You are amazing! You have such a beautiful family, and you are true inspiration for me. I am also from Ukraine, eastern part, so it warms my heart to see recipes of so many delicious Ukrainian and Russian food.
Sincerely,
Maryna
I’m so inspired reading this, thank you Maryna!
Hi Natasha,
I love MOST of your recipes and I watch your videos consistently. All your food look like comfort food and you make cooking look so simple and clean. You’re always very pretty and funny as you do your jokes on the videos. I love Ina Garten, but you’re definitely my new favorite. Have you ever worked with Ina, Martha or any other of your great counterparts? Any who… keep up the great work and keep the great videos coming of your delectable dishes coming!

Big fan Natasha. Love your beef stroganoff and so does my Russian neighbour when I cook it for her. My question is what size of Dutch Oven should I purchase for general soups, stews etc. What size is the one I see you use in most of your videos. Many thanks.
Hi Doug, the one we use is a 5 1/2 quart and we have it linked in our Amazon shop.
Natasha
I look forward to your videos and recipes that I see. I have tried a few and always happy how they taste! I keep waiting for you to come out with a cookbook. If you do, please post lots of pictures and make it a spiral one.
Stay tuned for the cookbook Susan!
Would love a cookbook by you, with all your recipe’s you have on your blog. Please let me know when it comes out and where I can buy it. Thank you!
Hi Debra, thank you for that amazing feedback! Stay tuned, we are planning.
Hi Natasha,
I also grew up in a Russian/Ukrainian/Slavic (Grandparents) Family. Everytime I go back home there are always homemade pirogies at the ready. Love your site, your recipes are wonderful.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Hi, Natasha!\
Big fan of all your videos! I have a question on your Apple Pie recipe.
Can you make the filling and freeze it? Would like to make this for thanksgiving and that would be a timesaver. Thank you.
Hi Michelle, I haven’t tested that but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe
Just started following your videos; your recipes looks so delicious, and I enjoy your cooking. You make it seem easy. I’m trying some of your recipes! Congrats on your success; continued luck and enjoy

I just got back from Croatia, my daughter returned from 2 week Moscow stay with Russian family she met over 20 years ago when she majored in Slavic language while in college. Needless to say we are big fans and wish you well
That’s just awesome Linda! I’m so happy you discovered our blog and recipes.

Love your recipes and your presentation..I’m an 85 year old who still loves to bake and cook!
Hi Carol, thank you so much for that sweet compliment! I’d love to hear more about your favorite recipes. I’m sure you have so much kitchen wisdom to share 🙂

That’s so great, Daren! I’m so happy to hear that!
Thank you for sharing all the tasty recipes and I am enjoying watching them all each time.
Hi Judy! I’m so glad you have enjoyed our recipes.
The best cakes ever tnx for sharing Natasha
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Sbo!
Hi Natasha…I love your videos and enjoy pretty much everything you make (except anything with Brussels sprouts)… I was reading about something you call tvarog. My Mother made a lot of things with something she called twaróg, which I am sure is the Polish version and was available in Chicago, which is where I grew up. She emigrated from Poland after WWII and cooked a lot of Polish and German food, which is what she knew! I now live in Phoenix and can’t find it anywhere. Is there an alternative option? Thank you!!
Hi Bozena, we have several tvorog recipes here you may enjoy. Tvorog is also known as Farmers Cheese.
Hi Natasha, just became a subscriber and was wondering if we can ask you to make a new recipe. If so–Knedliky & zeli with roast pork was one of my favorites growing up. mom made it at least once a week, every bodies favorite.
Thank you for sharing that with me!
I live in Norway and it is the first time I have seen an option of getting the recipe in metric, which is what we use here. Totally awsome and usable for me and my family.
Hi Karin, we have metric conversion measurements available on most of our recipes but still are working through the older ones to add them. If there is something specific you would like to see converted, please leave a comment on that particular recipe post and I will do my best to address it quickly. Thanks!
Natasha, I am living in Russia with easy access to tvorog. Can you recommend me a recipe for a blini filling using tvorog? Tvorog and vanilla sugar, or powder sugar? What is your recommendation? Thank you 🙂
Hi Lori, we always make cheese crepes with cream cheese and cottage cheese, we always make, but my Mother makes them with tvorog.
ok 🙂 do you know if your mother mixes anything with the tvorog to make it sweeter?
Hi Lori, she does add some sugar to taste and 1 egg. It depends on how dense the tvorog is – a moister one will need 1 egg and a dryer tvorog will need 2 eggs.
Love love love the spatchcock chicken recipe! it comes out perfect every time. My husband claims its the best chicken he’s ever had. Tonight I want to make two chickens because we have guest coming over. Any suggestions on how to do that?
Hi Karen, I haven’t made two at the same time. I would recommend doubling all ingredients and prepping for two in advance. If you plan to bake them at the same time it make take a while longer to bake. I’d love to know how it goes with two!
I love everything that you cook and bake I try to make some and they look pretty good but they taste delicious, I love your desserts, I show off making them for my family and friends
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Natasha,
I have pinned and tried some of your recipes, and I love them all. I’m glad that I finally sat myself down and became one of your followers. Keep up the great work.

I made your “Beef and Broccoli with the Best Sauce”. It was terrific! Definitely a keeper and a staple to our menu. Quick prep, Cook, only problem I had was finding the grain direction on the sirloin I used, but got it right, was so tender and flavorful. Thank you for the recipe.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Brenda!
The first time I’ve watched your video, I fell in love with you. You are such a gifted, classy and quirky cook and your recipes are amazing. I just read your background and so glad to know that you and your family are Christians who want to follow and honour Jesus. So glad to find a website that I can go to for easy, healthy and delicious recipes, especially for a working mum like me. Thank you Natasha. God bless and all the best to your channel.

Could you do some allergy alternatives to classic recipes? I’m allergic to all nightshade foods, peanuts, and tree nuts.
Thank you for that suggestion, Kimi.
Am a foodie and usually spend Saturday afternoons trolling for new food blogs, looking for a unique recipe to prepare that evening And ran across your blog. Absolutely beautifully put together, easy to navigate and a treat to view all of the wonderful imagery. Job well done to yourself and your husband!
I’m so inspired reading your review. Thank you, Chuck!
HI Natasha, I have been passed your chicken mango salad recipe. We are producing a recipe book for a U.K. primary school fundraiser. Please would you give permission to include this recipe with a link to your website. Many thanks and best wishes, Fiona
Hi Fiona, yes that will be fine.
Many thanks for your help
You’re welcome!
Natasha, will you be adding Air Fryer recipes?
Hi Beverley, that is a great question! We actually have an Air Fryer recipe on our blog here. We plan on more in the future, thank you for that suggestion!
Natasha,
I just love learning to cook new things with you! I mad the chocolate cake and it was to die for! I made the spatchcock chicken for Sunday Dinner and it was amazing! I’m going to cook every one of your recipes! Tonight is salisbury steak!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Connie!
Natasha I love you & your recipes are wonderful & you do a great job showing us. But, I am so disappointed with the mini cheesecake with caramel sauce. it says “mini” which is known to be a mini size pan for 24. I have so much batter left over but used the crust ingredients in the 24 pan. Now I have to make more graham crust to use the rest of the batter. I have been baking for 67 yrs. Watching your video again, looks almost like a cup cake size, although thinking a muffin size????
Hi Marianne, the mini is referring to the cheesecakes that they are mini compared to regular full-sized cheesecake. I wrote in the instructions: “Line a 24-count muffin tin.” which was a traditional muffin tin. Sorry for the confusion there. I also used a regular-sized cupcake pan in the video tutorial. I will put a note in the written recipe to emphasize that it is a regular-sized cupcake/muffin tin.
Natasha….I came across your blog by accident. I am looking fwd.to seeing your recipes online.Altho I am not Ukranian/Russian myself I love the food……post me some good recipes…lol
Thank you for sharing that with us< Phyllis.

Hi Natasha, I just discovered your blog and channel and I’m already in love. I made your mini cheesecake cups and they were to die for. I love cooking and baking and will defiantly try a lot more of your recipes in the near future. May God bless your family and continue to shower you with his love.

Dear Natasha your recepies are wonderful and how you present it is so nice. Im from Sri Lanka , down India,which you can see in the world map.

Hi Natasha, I am from Mumbai (India) glad I came across your recipes. they sound good and taste good too. have tried some very basic easy ones and love them. What makes one want to try out your recipes is your happy bubbly disposition that puts so much love in the food.
I’m so glad you discovered our blog! Welcome, Shiraz!
Hi, I wanted to print some recipes but I dont like the ad’s printing with it, is there a way to print without ad’s?
Hi Christine, the ads should never print on the print-friendly page. Did it come out of your printer with an ad on it? If that is occurring, I definitely want to report it to my tech team asap. Please let me know and thank you!
So glad to have found your blog. It all started because we are now living in a former-Soviet republic with a lot of buckwheat around and, as Americans, we didn’t know what to do with it. We discovered that and so much more. Love your recipes! Thank you also for your beautiful witness.
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing that with us!
Do you, or will you have a cookbook? I would enjoy having all your wonderful recipes in one location!
Hi Ronda, No cookbook at this time but stay tuned we do have plans in the works.
Do you have a cookbook if so what is the name of it and how do I order. I love all your recipes have not been disappointed in any of them.
Hi Alexis! We do not at this moment but we do look forward to creating one soon! Stay tuned!

Hi Natasha,
I am looking for the recipe for Chicken Fritters and the Chicken Tetrazini? I found the video, but I cant right the ingredients and directions fast enough. Where do I go to find this info?
Hi Dorothy, you can search for those in the search bar on my site. Click here for the: Chicken Fritters and Here for: Chicken Tetrazzini
Hi Natasha,
I just watched your knife tutorial, and I have a question for you.
Do you ever consider posting stuff for people with arthritis? I have rather severe pain in my thumbs and forefingers, so have had to switch to all ceramic knives, and mezaluna type knifes. So, how do you sharpen those? And what’s a good way to hold a knife if you can’t use the thumb to put pressure on anything, because the joint will be too painful after only one or two cuts.
Hi, I’m sorry to hear you are dealing with arthritic pain – that is really tough. I honestly am not sure without doing more research. I would suggest googling to see if anyone else has posted suggestions. This video might be helpful.
Hi Natasha,
I LOVE your blog and your mini pavlova recipe has been a big hit for me! I’m looking to make a dessert for an upcoming party with the only request that it is “not too sweet”. I noticed you mention your apple rose tart is lightly sweet. What other dessert recipes on your blog would you consider lightly sweet?
Thank you so much for all you do!
Cheers,
Emily
Hi Emily, we do prefer lightly sweet deserts so many of our recipes fit that category, such as the almond cake or many of our fruit desserts. You can explore all of our dessert subcategories here.
I absolutely love your chicken teriyaki recipe! I tried it two years ago and my grandson will not allow me to change the recipe at all! I cannot use any other recipe except yours for my grandson! I attempted to try another recipe because I could not find yours, he knows the difference! He remembered, it was Natasha’s Kitchen! I will be trying more of your recipes for I find them excellent easy to read and to complete!
Thank you so much!
Aww that’s so awesome! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Regina!
We love your receipies, and had a quick question; what dutch oven do you use? We are in the market for one, and wanted to get your thoughts and/or recommendation! Thank you!
Hi Alexander, some of our favorites can be found in our Shop here. I hope that helps!
Hi there I watched a video about cutting onions and you asked for tips on how to stop them stinging and making your eyes cry! I only believe that if you hold your breath while chopping them it helps! Take a deep breath and chop them up.. turn away from the onions fumes are all times .. it may take a bit longer but it works for me! The fumes go through your nose and into your eyes so a good cold water wash helps before chopping them too! I hope it helps you a bit!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Marie! I guess that’s also a great way to practice holding your breath!
My training is as an analytical chemist, and I love to cook. To keep the onion (or garlic) fumes from making your eyes tear, is to run the onions and garlic under cold water after peeling, so that the surface is wet. The chemicals that cause tearing are called lacrimators, and those are water soluble, so if there’s water on the surface, the lacrimators go into the water instead of into the air. Voila! No tears!
Wow! Thank you for sharing that with us! I will have to give that a try. Thank you.
Hi Natasha, So glad I found you. I come from a Polish background but my grandmothers aren’t around to help me learn how to cook traditional food. Thank you so much for your blog! *(love pierogi btw)
I’m so happy this blog is helpful, Monica! Thank you for that awesome feedback.
What Dutch oven do you use? We are in the market. We love your recipes!
Hi Alexander, we have some of our favorite pots and tools in our shop here.
I very much enjoy your cooking videos. Not only for the delicious recipes but I just find you to be so cute and you make me smile. Absolutely darling family. You should be very proud of what you are doing. Continued success and happiness.

Привет и спасибо за Ваши рецепты. I’m first generation Russian and am glad to see many of the recipes I grew up with featured. I learned to cook from babushka and mama. One thing I don’t remember how to make is cherry vareniki. Do you have a recipe for them?
Hi Vera, we sure do! you can try our Cherry Pierogies recipe here. I hope you enjoy that.

Hi Claire, I’m so happy you love our recipes! Thank you so much for the fantastic review and your encouraging words. I am smiling big reading your comment.
Hi Natasha: I’m from Toronto Ontario Canada. I’m a real foodie and I love entertaining and cooking for my friends. I’m not very tech savvy and only recently been browsing through Facebook. I came across your shrimp fajita recipe and with a craving for shrimp, I made it tonight, including your sister’s amazing cilantro sauce. OMG I loved it. I really enjoyed it and it is a now go to favourite. Thank you much! BTW you have a lovely family
Thank you for that wonderful compliment! You’re so nice! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed our fajitas recipe, Mery. Thank you for sharing your great review!
Hi Natasha! I found your videos on facebook and can’t wait to dive into your recipes here. I have tried a few from your videos and my family loves them! I love how the ingredients are simple and easy to find. Thanks so much and keep up the good work!
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Wendy. I’m so happy you discovered our blog too!
Hi Natasha! Loved the cheese steak video and you get props for the appearance and using the word hoagie! It must be difficult to get an authentic Italian roll in Idaho as we claim it’s our water that makes them unique here in Philly. I could almost smell the onions through the video. Only complaint – we don’t put mayo on ours! But by all means enjoy it the way you like. Job well done!
Keep up with great work!
Jo
Thank you for that great feedback, Joanna!
Hi Natasha. I am Ukrainian myself, live in US since 2002. I was looking for the dill pickles recipes and came across your site. I canned pickles with your Canned Dill Pickle Recipe. It came up soooo good! And I know the taste of REAL Ukrainian cuisine! I am definitely coming back here for more delicious recipes and will recommend it to others! Thank you! May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Iryna.
Hi Natasha, I am a quite experienced cook but a new reader / viewer of your blog. Just wanted to let you know, that as a USSR-born myself, I love the mix of traditional Russian/Ukranian recepies and modern American cuisine.
I also enjoy your outgoing and cute manner and sense of humor. Keep up the good work!
You’re so nice! Thank you for that wonderful compliment, Nadia!
Hi Natasha,
Quick question… what meat thermometer (brand/model) do you use?
I enjoy your recipes! Thank you!
Hi Theresa, most of our favorite items can be found in our shop here.
I am getting ready to make the Vanilla recipe. I got a very good deal on Ebay for a lot of vanilla beans. Can I use 1 bean cut in half per 4oz of vodka, or do I need 1.5 beans?
Hi Ellen, using less than directed will still work but it will take longer to get a darker colored vanilla and won’t have quite the same depth of flavor.
Our favorite restaurant is ‘The Spaghetti Factory’ and we used to go there all the time. The only problem is now that we live in Houston, the closest one is located in Nashville Tn…. 800 miles away. lol Is there any chance you can copy their amazing Clam Sauce. Some have tried but they are not close. lol I bet you could do it.
Oh no! That is a far drive for dinner! I have not tried that to advise on a recipe. But thank you for that suggestion!
Thanks so much for this great blog. I’m determined to get better in the kitchen, and Natasha’s Kitchen has got a mountain of great recipies to practice with! My family and coworkers thank you for the treats.
Though I must tell you, your children have exceeded the allowable cuteness quotient for one family. Seriously, what an adorable pair. All the best and thanks again.
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles!
Hi Natasha, It is so good to see someone that is happy to declare their faith. This is the first time I have come across your blog and like yourself I come from a line of very good cooks. Although believe it or not I have never made a sponge cake. Lots of other cakes but not sponge. So I am wondering if your sponge cake recipe could be double or tripled as I need to make a cake for my brother’s 70th birthday which is in two weeks! Most recipes are for round sponges. I need to make a rectangle cake because it will be for 30 people. My tin is stainless steel and the size is 34 & 1/2 cms x 26cms. I Am hoping you can help me. It is going to be layered with custard and soaked with liquor. Many thanks,Anna
Hi Anna, thank you for that feedback, you’re so nice. I haven’t tested with that size to advie but some of our readers have left great tips for how much to make for certain tins in the comment section of the recipe. I recommend looking through those comments for that.
Thank you for all your awesome recipes. I love them all. Your a delight to watch.
Aww that’s the best! Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles reading this.
Enjoy your recipes very much. Hubby & I are not disappointed with them. Do u by any chance have the recipes from your videos written out? Hard to write down while video is playing.
Hi Grace, all of our recipes are written out on this site. Feel free to search the recipe following the search bar above.
Only now discovering this blog. The write-up is fun, full of humor and down to earth realness and I also love that you’re a part of the Body of Christ. Your gift certainly has made room for you. Keep pressing on Sis

Love your blueberry lemon cake but my guy needs to be gluten-free. Just made recipe with GF flour and it seemed dryer and more dense. Any suggestions?
Hi Deborah, several of our readers have reported great results using gluten-free flour without getting dense. Here is what one of our readers wrote “I honestly haven’t tested this with gluten free flour but there was one person who wrote in and shared their experience: ”used Cup4Cup Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour. It is expensive but the best I’ve tried so far. Anyway, the cake came out great. We loved it and I’m planning to make it again for Easter. Just wanted to let any possible gluten intolerant folks now.” I also recommend reading our post on measuring to make sure that was done accurately.
I have found your blog/recipes/videos to be delightful!! I’m making the overnight cinnamon rolls as we speak for my moms birthday brunch this morning 🎉 we made several other dishes, for dinner usually, and you write out your steps very clearly and precise, so it is easy to follow- THANK YOU! Great job at doing you 😉 Look me up on social media @twiterlesamber and you might spy your recipes!

We have so many options on the blog! I hope our recipes help with that!
Do you have a simple recipe for Tartar Sauce? I love Claussen’s garlic pickles.
Hi Debby, I have the best recipe for tartar sauce here!
Natasha, I’m making your plum jam recipe and saw that you wish you knew the name of your plum tree. I can solve this for you as I have the same small tree that produces the plums you have in the picture. It is called a “Mount Royal Plum”
That’s so awesome Shannon!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Your videos and recipes bring the joy of cooking into our life. We can’t thank you enough. Your pictures are fabulous. Is there a link to see what type of camera you are using lately? I would like to take beautiful pictures of my family. Thanks for sharing your happiness with us.

Greetings from NH.
we are having a Ukrainian party benefit for the museum that I work in. I visited your country in 2000 and loved it of course.
Thank you for,this lovely blog. Found it by accident when looking for Ukrainian recipes.
That sounds like an amazing happy accident. thank you for sharing that with me.
Absolutely love your recipes! I make several a week! Would you suggest a few dessert ideas for a service dog fundraising bake sale? Your Chocolate cake is a must!
Hi Michelle, hand-held desserts are always fun like eclairs or cream puffs or macarons.
Hi Natasha,
I am huge fan of you. I can’t express how happy I feel when you start your video/presentation with such beautiful smile & full of energy. I have tried few of your recipes and must say, all turned out absolutely delicious. I never liked cooking but for the last 12 months I have found a new joy in cooking and hardly dine out.
The ‘food tasting’ scene is equally entertaining:):):)
Thank you and your family for this great work.
Best wishes
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Noronha. I’m all smiles!
