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.

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.
Hey Natasha! Love your work! Im from Food City aka New Orleans. Id love to see your rendition of a king cake or a gumbo. Oh one more thing, Im buying your book, but is there anyway I can send it to you to sign? All the best!
Thank you for your love and suggestion. I don’t have any signed copies of my cookbook as they’ve been sold out for a while now.
By the way, could you please make a recipe for garlic knots?
I’ll make note of that!
Than you so so much for your recipes! I really enjoy making them. Whenever I need to made dinner, the first place I look for some recipes is your cookbook!
I’m so happy you’re enjoying them, Lisa! Thank you.
You’re cooking is amazing and I really enjoy watching you you’re an amazing person 💞 Thank you so much for your recipes 😌
When are you going to do your next cookbook?
We’re not working on one just yet, but you’re so kind to ask!
We need a second cookbook! I have loved the first book and I enjoy your YouTube videos!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content, Colleen. I have considered a second cookbook, but have not decided yet. Stay tuned, I will definitely announce it if we proceed.
Hello Natasha, thank you so much for sharing your recipes with the rest of the world. It is such a blessing to share knowledge. I have baked using some of your recipes and they come out perfectly. I am in Africa specifically in Uganda and wondering how i can purchase the cook book.
You’re so welcome! That makes me happy knowing that my readers enjoy my recipes a lot. Did you check each of the links in the blog post?
I love this recipe Natasha and I really like your Borsch recipe. Were you born in Russia?
Glad you like it! You can read more about me here in my blog post.
Hi Natasha! Is your cookbook still available in spiral bound format? Thank you.
HI Marion, I don’t sell a spiral bound. Someone buys my books and creates a spiral out of them but I have zero connection to that and I don’t know why Amazon allows that to be linked to my Amazon listing – I can’t speak to the quality of what they are doing.
I have both of her cook books and they are great! I still find myself going to her website when I go online to see if there is anything new and exciting out there, and of course I always find myself printing one from Natasha. Never disappointed.
Hi Donna! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my recipes. I currently only have one cookbook, are you thinking of another food blogger for the second cookbook?
I love your recipes, and watching you and your family on Facebook book. I’m going this week to Target to get your cook book. Can’t wait to have it. Keep coming up with new ideas and stay on Facebook. Really enjoy watching you. Thank you so much for your recipes and enjoyment.
You are so sweet, Dorothy! Thank you so much. I appreciate the love and support. I hope you LOVE the cookbook recipes!
Natasha! Your cookbook is amazing!! I use your recipes on a daily basis and every single one is a solid 10!!
My question for you is when are you going to publish a second cookbook? Please tell me there will be another cookbook!
God bless you and your cooking journey!
Thank you so much, Kim! I haven’t decided on a second cookbook yet, but I will definitely keep you all posted if I decide to proceed.
Is natashas going to come out with a new cookbook?
Hi Crystal! I’ve been considering it, but nothing concrete yet. I will definitely announce it if I decide to make another.
Hi, I live in the UK so what is a stick of butter? How much does that weigh? Also is there an alternative for using eggs or diary products as I would like to go plant based with my cake recipes?
Us to UK 1 stick of butter = 113 g (about 115 g). For dairy products, you can try vegan butter 1:1, not sure of egg substtutions at this time.
Hi, I love watching your videos especially the cakes. Why do you sometimes use olive oil instead of butter / melted butter or sour cream instead of butter milk? I am interested in finding a recipe for a light sponge cake and would like to know which is the best recipe to use?
Hi Tanya! It really depends on the recipe. Light olive oil is usually chosen because it doesn’t taste “olivey” like extra virgin olive oil. You can also use another neutral oil such as canola, vegetable, avocado, etc. It adds moisture because it’s 100% fat and stays liquid. Butter brings flavor, but it also firms up when cool, which can make cakes feel denser but it’s a good choice to certain types of cakes. Sour cream/buttermilk are both acidic and reacts with baking soda to activate it. They also add flavor and tenderness to the batter.
A traditional classic sponge cake recipe, it does not contain these ingredients.
Hello Natasha,
I’ve made several of your recipes and loved how they turned out.
I’d like to make the cranberry bread with orange glaze and the cranberry cookies. How can I cut back on the sugar? My husband is diabetic so I need to be mindful of the sugar content in the food I make him.
Can you suggest a substitute for the sugar, or how I can use less sugar in the recipe.
Thank you so much,
Nita
Hi Nita! I don’t have much experience with using sugar alternatives but I would look into to the brand “swerve sweeteners”. You can find it in most local grocery stores and even on Amazon. I hear it’s one of the better ones to bake with. Follow the package instructions for how to substitute it in a recipe.
I just got mine and purchased two for my sister-in-law’s. It’s absolutely beautiful, and I love that you included a picture with each recipe. I cannot wait to get cooking.!
Thank you so much for your support! Hope you’ll enjoy all the recipes that you will try!
Natasha! I’ve been following you for years so much so I remember when you launched this book. Got your book just to have it as my first go to and love it. Your recipes are easy, tried and true and never fails! Thank you for being inspirational and true to who you are. Your #1 Canadian fan
Thank you so much, Pratima! I appreciate the love and support over all these years.
Excited to receive your cookbook for Christmas!
Thank you for all the happy you offer everyday in your smile and recipes.
Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year
You are so sweet, Charlene! Thank you for the love and support. I hope you love the cookbook. Merry Christmas and have a blessed new year!
This book became my main go to recipe book and every meal I make from it is delicious and easy to follow. I went through lots of culinary books and this one is a winner for sure.
Hi Ludmila, I’m so happy to hear that. That is such a wonderful compliment and brings me joy.
