FAQ’s
What is Natasha’s Kitchen Cooking Challenge?
Natasha’s Kitchen Cooking Challenge is a monthly event where I invite you to make a featured recipe, share your photo, and connect with fellow home cooks. It’s all about learning, having fun, and trying something new in the kitchen!

Yes! You can leave feedback on the challenge recipe page for one bonus entry. You can also post your photo on social media with #natashaskitchenchallenge and tag @natashaskitchen for another bonus entry.
Can I upload more than one photo?
No. Each person can only upload one entry through Gleam.io.
Are AI images allowed?
No. We only accept photos you’ve taken yourself – no AI-generated images.

How do I get reminders?
Sign up for the Natasha’s Kitchen Cooking Challenge email list on the challenge page so get monthly reminders and an end-of-the-month recap.
What if I don’t want to make the assigned recipe?
No worries. You can skip that month or it’s perfectly acceptable to replace ingredients where it makes sense to match your dietary preferences. Just remember one entry per person.
