I am so excited to finally share our first cookbook with you! Somebody pinch me!! It’s hard to believe it’s out in the world and a three-week New York Times Best-Selling Cookbook. Writing this book has been one of the hardest, most exciting, and fun things I’ve ever done, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.

Where to Buy
The book is available online and in stores:
P.S. I have this vivid memory of getting a chocolate candy bar in grade school and saving it so I could share it with my 4 sisters at home. That’s how I feel about the recipes in this cookbook – I finally get to share them with you, the Natasha’s Kitchen community that I love so much. Thank you for your support and for inspiring me to bring this cookbook to life. You must know, it was created FOR YOU!
About Natasha’s Kitchen Cookbook
- National Best Seller – 3 Weeks on the New York Times List, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly Barnes and Noble Top Books, and Amazon Best-Seller.
- 100+ Recipes – I think it’s about 110 to be exact, most of which are brand new and truly some of my best recipes. These include everything from breakfasts, soups, salads, main courses, exciting sides, and desserts.
- Entertaining Ideas – we have a whole chapter devoted to easy hosting with brilliant recipes and tips to inspire hospitality.
- Tested by hundreds of volunteers – Every recipe was tested by 5 or more cooks from our cookbook testing community of 315 people (with all skill levels; from home cooks to professional chefs).
- Gorgeous photos – every recipe was beautifully photographed (because I can’t handle cookbooks without pictures) and the recipes will make your mouth water.
- Behind the Scenes – we included historic photos of my family, even the first (slightly awkward) photo with my husband Vadim when we first met. I’m excited to share more of my family with you. I know I’m biased but the lifestyle photos are my favorite part of the book.
- Stories – I shared our back story with details I’ve never shared before; how we came to America as refugees, growing up, meeting my husband, and how this incredible Natasha’s Kitchen journey began.
Recipes in this Book

In Natasha’s Kitchen, she shares 100+ budget-friendly, foolproof recipes anyone can whip up on even the busiest weeknight. From Salmon Piccata and Turkey Meatball Soup to Crispy Bacon Jalapeno Poppers as well as traditional Ukrainian recipes passed down from her mother like classic Borscht and her famous Pierogis, Natasha’s family-friendly recipes are made with easy-to-find ingredients and have been thoroughly tested. And because she loves to have her large extended family and friends over, there are also menus for sharing and easy entertaining—from a taco bar to a chili bar to the ultimate cheese board.
With a warm and encouraging voice accompanied by beautiful, mouthwatering photographs, Natasha offers readers a glimpse into her life as she does what she enjoys most: cooking for her loved ones.
We’ve shared a sampling of some of the Cookbook Recipes Here.
Corrections:
Despite having an entire team proofread the book many times over, a couple of things slipped through the cracks. Thank you for reporting these to me! Corrections will be made in the next printing:
- French Onion Soup on pg. 120 – Step 5: Once the stock and seasonings are in the pot, partially cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Watch the Video Tutorial.
- Index – Fettuccini Alfredo is on pg 132 (not 152)
What People are Saying…
The book has received glowing reviews since the day it launched. Read hundreds more reviews on Amazon.
“Delicious and Simple recipes”
“My husband and I were anticipating the arrival of Natasha’s cookbook. Because of her delicious recipes we stopped eating out as much. The recipes are simple and don’t require a whole lot of “hard to find” ingredients. Today we cooked 3 recipes to mealprep, the whole chicken, the mushroom chicken, and the restaurant-tasting mashed potatoes. I promise you won’t regret getting this cookbook. My 3 year old loved the mashed potatoes and the chicken with mushrooms. We look forward to cooking many more of these recipes. Thank you Natasha! Your skills have helped us save so much money by eating in and I love watching your YouTube channel. There has not been a recipe I’ve tried that my hubby and I have not loved. God bless you always!” – Keyla
“EASY, FAST, and DELICIOUS recipes”
“We have been following Natasha and her recipes for YEARS! We were ecstatic when we saw she was writing a cookbook! The picture is actually from a recipe from her website but one that we just cooked tonight! Natasha’s recipes consist of ingredients you mostly have on hand and never usually exceed 30 minutes. As a mother of two, this is huge! We also always get complimented when guests come over and 90% of the time it’s a “Natasha” recipe. My husband’s common phrase is “Natasha, you did it again!”Specifically for her book, it included more about Natasha’s life that we loved! Some more amazing recipes that are not on her website and we loved the tips and hints section! I know more ways to thaw butter that I am super excited to use! Thanks, Natasha!” – Curt S.
“Where do I begin!!”
“From the moment I opened this beautiful and long-awaited cookbook, I couldn’t put it down! I literally spent 3 hours reading every single page. I was fully committed and absorbed in the precious stories and family memories that caused me to tear up more than once (especially the one about how her and Vadim met). I felt like I knew Natasha and her family members personally and the way she weaved those memories and stories with the recipes was incredibly sweet. Of course, I have made many recipes in this book, but now beyond excited to get busy trying all the others! Thank you Natasha for who you are, your silly, funny, sweet and endearing personality that millions of us love and adore! Congratulations and God bless you and your family….so very proud of you!!” – Karen L.
“FANTASTIC!!”
“I’m so happy to receive Natasha’s cookbook and I am blown away at how beautiful it is! This is a very nice hefty hard-bound cookbook. It’s pages are filled with beautiful photos for each recipe and it is very well written and put together. There’s TONS of recipes in here! I’ve already made 3 of Natasha’s recipes from the book and my family loved every bite. The recipes are easy to follow and the print is just right. I’m going to be using this cookbook for a very long time. I can’t tell you enough how wonderful it really is! Don’t hesitate! Just get one! You will love it like I do.” – Alicia H.
As someone who comes from a French and Eastern European background, I love your heritage and share your passion for good food. You constantly provide delicious recipes that can made with ease within a home setting. I’ve pre-ordered your hardcover and wish you the best in your future endeavors!

Thank you so much, Elyse! ♥️
Thank you for all you do, your heart and love of cooking truly show in your videos, teaching and techniques of, “this is how I do it”. Since I started following your videos and blogs, I have added many recipes to my collection of favorite meals and desserts.
These recipes are being handed down to my daughter who loves to cook. Anytime I was cooking she would grab her notebook and write down my recipes and she would get frustrated because I would say add some or throw a little of…….She wanted exact measurements and I explained as your cooking you just learn and know how much to put in…. Needless to say I did figure the exact amounts for her notebook.Your cookbook is perfect timing, as it will be a gift to my daughter, she is getting married in October 2023. Please thank Vadim and the kiddos for all their help💕
Hi Diane! That is amazing! Thank you for all your love and support on this journey. It means so much to me.
Not only are your recipe pictures like eye candy, your antics in the kitchen are a hoot. LOVE how your precious husband has raced through the kitchen trying not to be seen. HE is fun too.
Keep up the nice work…it can’t be easy always coming up with new recipes!
Hi Jacque! I appreciate your love and support. It means so much. Thank you.
Big Big fan! Thoroughly enjoy your recipes and the confidence it has given me in the kitchen. This cookbook was long overdue!! Can’t wait to not only buy it for myself, but gift it to all my loved ones!! Congrats Natasha, if anyone deserves all this success it’s you and your team of a family!!!
Thank you so much, Samiko! We’re so excited for you all to get your hands on this cookbook!
Congratulations! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes. All of them are so good…you are the first place I look when I need to try something new.
Thank you, Pam! This all means so much to me.
Funny true story. My husband has become a master in the kitchen because of you and your recipes. He’s retired and I’m still working so he kindly does most the cooking. Although I do all the baking and your Brownie recipe is to die for! My oldest son has requested his own batch for his birthday, he’s turning 38. Now for the funny part, my neighbor cuts my hair and we were talking about food. I was talking about you and how fantastic we are eating since my husband found you. She said her sin will taste what she’s made for dinner and ask, “is this a Natasha recipe?” Just like me, I know right away when it’s perfect, it comes from a Natasha recipe! I got a kick out of that and I thought you would too. You have a LOT of fans and we are BIG fans!
I love that! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
That’s awesome. Cute story. Natasha is my first go to for a recipe.
Thank you, Kathy!
Wow what an amazing cook you are; I tried over 30 of your recipes; and all of them work well. Will buy the book.
Wow! That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing that with me, Tony! I can’t wait for you to get the cookbook!
Beautiful cover. Vadim is a lucky man! Great picture of you Natasha 🙂
Thank you for that compliment, Dan! I hope you enjoy the book once it’s out!
I will. You and Chef John have really helped everyone on cooking for a fam!
Natasha, my family and I can’t thank you enough for all of the wonderful recipes you share with us. I feel almost like a new person at the age of 52 as my comfort in the kitchen has grown exponentially since finding your recipes. They are so easy to follow and every one of them is family approved, which is a hard thing to do! Congratulations on your cook book! Got it pre-ordered and can’t wait!
I’m so happy you love our recipes! Thank you so much for the fantastic review and your encouraging words, Amy. I am smiling big reading your comment.
Hi Natasha,
I am so excited and happy for you with your first book. I love your recipes, and your video presentations that you and your husband put together.

Hi Laurie! Thank you! I sure do hope you love the cookbook when you get it.
I totally love the videos that you and your husband are producing. I have practically watched your children grow up on these videos. It is so nice to include them. The humor that you add while doing a recipe is really a great touch. This being said, I have just preordered your new cookbook, for the great recipes and to support you and your beautiful family in what you are doing.
Hi Bob! Thank you for that. I appreciate the kindness, love, and support. This means so much to me.
