Love all the recipes. You make it all look so simple. Your shrimp cakes are the best.

Do you have any Keto recipes? I need to shead a few pounds.
Thanks
Hi June, we have several recipe like this one on the blog that are Keto friendly. Also, most of our recipe have a comment or two from our readers on how they converted this to make it keto friendly.
Like know different recipes hamburger
it’s a delicious sweet and sour recipe. The only difference for me is adding half the sweet and sour mixture right in with the meatloaf then 10 minutes before I’m ready to take it out I brush on the rest the sweet and sour. Because I like the taste of sweet and sour all the way through. In order to do this you have to add 1/2 to full cup more bread crumbs. Incredibles taste all the way through
I’m so glad you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing those changes with me.
Your tarter sauce is AMAZING! I don’t really care for fish, but your recipe made it all taste wonderful.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Pam! Thank you for sharing that with me!
Hi, Natasha, you are amazing and your story is very nicely written here on your blog. I daily visit your recipes and i thank you for them. Just wanted to tell you this. Have a great life, you deserve it!

I’m so glad you enjoyed that. Thank you for that suggestion and feedback, Donna!
Hi I love all your recipes.. but can you share some more on vegetarian recipes…
Hi, make sure to check out our vegetarian category located in our recipes index.
Hey sweetie, I make shrimp and pasta every Tuesday, for family and friends, it’s so good. I’m cooking with gas so it heats fast, therefore, I cook the shrimp in olive and butter, remove them, then put the garlic, wine and pasta water. It’s perfect every time! Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Trying to make your no pectin plum jelly. Confused on do we use the canning process after we put the jam in the oven and it comes out
We use the oven canning process but I included the updated standard canning process if that is a more comfortable method for you. You do not have to do both.
Wow, Natasha! Your recipes are truly the very best! I so enjoy your videos too.. so delightful and professional. Am going to make your blueberry with lemon muffins today. Thank you so much!!
I’m so inspired reading your review. Thank you!
Wow !!!!!!

I’m so happy you enjoyed that Peter! Thank you for that awesome feedback!
Hello I was wondering if you have any recipe to prepare Catfish
Hi Mary, we don’t currently since we don’t really have a good source for it in Idaho and don’t prepare it, but here are all of our seafood recipes which you might be able to adapt for catfish.
I made your Stuffed Pork Loin and it was WONDERFUL! I wanted to forward a picture to you from my phone, but couldn’t figure out how to do it. I love your recipes…this is my “go-to” site whenever I want something new.
I’m so happy you love our recipes! Thank you for sharing that with me! I would love to see your photo but currently the only way to share is on our private facebook cooking group page. I’d love to see it there!
dearest natasha,could you please be kind enough to repost the buckweed rice recepie?i can’t find it in ur posts,thank you
Hi Lianna, You can find all of our buckwheat recipes here. Also, are you referring to this buckwheat recipe?
Dear Natasha,
I just want to say thank you and your husband for such a wonderful job you guys do!!! I praise God for the talent He gave you and thank you for fulfilling your purpose in life, you help so many people. At age 30+ I finally learned how to make bulochki, and my husband admitted that those tasted better than his mom’s ( my mother in love is an amazing cook and she is known for her bulki/bulochki/pirozhki so that tells a lot). Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the hard work you do. God bless!!!
I’m so happy you love our recipes, Masha! Thank you so much for the fantastic review and your encouraging words. I’m so inspired reading your review & smiling big at this 🙂
What a wonderful talent you have Natasa. I am a big fan and follow your recipies every time one pops up on fb.
Love love love you!!! Keep up the good work!
Corina
I’m so inspired reading this! Thank you, Corina! You are so nice 🙂
You are the BEST!!! Your recipes are amazing…I’m low carb/keto and its so easy to make substitutions unless i just Go For It! 😁….I need more seafood ideas…I dont really like fish, but I’m sure you know how to make it tasty!!!!!

Hello 👋, love your recipes! I used to live in Pennsylvania and always tried your macaron recipe but when I recently moved to Florida nothing seems to be working 🙁 Do you know if there are any tips for making the perfect macaron feet in the humid climate?
Hi Darya we live in a fairly dry part of the country so I can’t advise. I recommend trying to bake those on a less humid day. Any readers from FL care to chime in?
Hello Natasha I was wondering do you have a book with all your recipes yet I would really want to buy one I think that would be a great idea for people that are not into media and our old school as I am sometimes
You are so kind for your suggestion, Inna! Thank you. We do have plans for one. Stay tuned!
Yes!! I would be very interested as well!
Dear Nathasha,
Thank you for your Lovely recipes. all my cooks are from your page. I kindly request if you can post or send me the recipe for the mirror strawberry cake recipe. you posted the video last week but couldn’t find the recipe 🙁
Please, looks yummy I would like to try it. Thank you Happy New Year!
Hi there Aline, I do not have a mirror Strawberry cake and do not recall sharing one. Was it possibly this Strawberry Pretzel Jello or this No Bake Cheesecake? Happy New Year!
You are amazing
You’re so nice! Thank you, Sofia!
Hi there, do you have a recipe for rabbit
Hi Sherry, I’ve never cooked with rabbit so I don’t have any recipes for it. Wish I could help with that!
I tried you cheesy shrimp cakes ! Wow so delicious and your 100% right you need the aioli sauce. your video was so easy to pleasant and fun to watch
Thanks !
Carrie
Yes! That sauce is so important!! You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it
Hey Natasha, I would love to see a recipe recipe for хворост. Have you ever made it? My mom used to make it in Russia.. Thanks!
Hi Nadia! We do not have that recipe on our blog yet.
Hi Natasha, I’ve just been looking at your genoise sponge recipe. Can you tell me if the Genoise sponge base is strong enough to hold a covering of fondant. I’m just looking for alternative sponges for celebratory decorative cakes which will be strong enough to withstand the weight of fondant on them other than Madeira.
Many thanks
Pam 😃
Hi Pamela! I have put ganache on it but I honestly don’t have any experience with fondant. It may be a little soft for fondant unless you put a stiffer buttercream over it first – that may work
Natasha – love your website and recipes. They remind me of home. You should publish a cookbook!
We will get there one day! Lots of great things in the works! Thank you for following our blog Svitlana!
I really enjoy your recipes. Thank you for sharing them.
Hu Justina! I’m so happy you discovered out blog!
I loved my mom’s beet borscht, don’t remember meat in it but that would be good. I love short ribs. I need an easy recipe not with all those ingredients. I am cooking for one
Hi Bev This Borscht here has meat in it and is also a family favorite OR we have this meatless Superfood one! Enjoy!
Natasha. U should try making veggie cake from zucchini fritters. Just make them small skillet size or small plate. Then put layer of mayo w garlic and dill. Add shredded cheesd amd tomatoe slices. Add onion and carrot zazharka Then another layer of pancake zucchini. I use ur recipe just make bigger ones. Same again. Layer of mayo w garlic and dill, tomatoe slices, cheese and zazjarka.

Hi Annette, 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, your blog is amazing. I constantly go on here to browse around new recipes. They never dissapoint. I recently started the keto diet and was wondering if you would consider making a category for keto friendly foods since this diet is so popular these days.
Hello Manuela! Thanks so much for following! Adding new “diet” categories has definitely been something were considering, thanks for sharing your suggestion!
Hi Natasha
Love your posts! I was just just wondering what you use instead of sour cream here in France? I can’t find it here.
From a fan in Marseille
Adele
Hi Adele, I’m not familiar with the products that are available in France. Maybe someone else has some insight into this? I would suggest googling French sour cream substitute to see what you come up with. Sorry I can’t be more helpful!
Try yogurt
On your blueberry lemon cake, can you substitute a healthier flour other than white flour…maybe coconut flour, and organic sugar or honey instead of white flour.
Hi Damaris, I haven’t tried coconut flour so It is difficult to guess, I also searched the comments and no one has mentioned trying it so I can’t say for sure. I haven’t experimented with any other sweeteners either but I definitely think it is worth testing! It’s so difficult to say since baking is so much a science that needs experimentation. Sorry I can’t be much help.
Hi Natasha! Thankbyou sooo much for your recipes, I’ve tried almost all of them. And I love your eyebow mouvement at the end of tasting each meal 🙂 Thanks a lot and keep on posting your wonderful food ideas.
All the best,
Lilit
My pleasure! I’m glad you are enjoying my site and recipes so much! 🙂 Thanks for following and sharing your encouraging comments!

From Jason.

Hello Natasha and thank you!!! These are incredible. They were eaten before I could snap a picture. Husband loved them. Coukd you please plrovide nutrition facts? I want to log them in Myfitness pal.
I’m glad you both love the recipe! Due to time constraints, I don’t typically include nutritional info, but check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you Vanessa!
Wow!! You are like Ukrainian Giada De Laurentiis! Except her mouth is bigger when she smiles or pretending to smile 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
LOL! I will take that as a compliment! She is quite beautiful.
Hi Natasha! I truly enjoy your website! I’m originally from Belarus, but have been living here for a long time. You have amazing recipes on your site. It was my 1st time making Zuppa Toscana. Omg, it was delicious!. My husband who is American loves the meals I made using your ideas.
Also, I like that I can easily type an ingredient I want to cook in the search box, and your site provides a lot of recipes.
Thank you!
You’re welcome Katya! Thanks for following and sharing such thoughtful comments! 😀
Hi Natasha:) I love your website and I use it all the time when I make food for my bf (which is once a week yay) !
Can you post ideas on how to make dishes with polenta ?
Hi Nata, I’m so glad you are enjoying our recipes! 🙂 Polenta is actually something we don’t eat often so I don’t have many recipes for it. If I come up with something great, I will be sure to share it!! 🙂

Please check why I can’t get an access to the Christmas Cherry Cake. Could you please send me it to my email I would like to make for Christmas
Olga, thank you for bringing that to our attention, the issue has been resolved. Someone tried to compromise the site so we had to temporarily put in additional restrictions.

I like this recipe. My family enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Natasha,
Have you seen the matroyshka measuring cup and spoon sets? Search for “Fred and Friends Measuring Matroyshkas” on Amazon. They are adorable!
Nina
Those are adorable! Thanks so much for sharing that with me. I have a set of measuring matroshki in my kitchen just for decor but they are different than these and not accurate for measuring but they are super cute. How are the Fred and Friends measuring cups when it comes to accuracy? Those spoons are super cute too!
Natasha,
They are accurate. I have double checked them with my Williams-Sonoma measuring sets. The white measuring cup set is also sold through the Museum of Modern Art website (yes, the MoMA of New York City). Who knew our beloved matroyshkas would be included in the lofty halls of modern art!
Awesome! Thanks so much Nina 🙂
I discovered your website on Friday, and have tried three of your dinner recipes so far. They have all been delicious. Looking forward to trying a salmon recipe tonight!
I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying the the recipes! Great choice with the salmon also – the dijon one is one of the most popular recipes on my site 🙂
Hi Natasha!
Was wondering if you have a good recipe for rolled wraps?!
Thanks
Kate, are you referring to asian spring rolls where you use rice paper? I have Chicken Quinoa Lettuce Wraps on the site.
Hi Natasha! I love your website!! My family is from Odessa, and my babushka makes the most delicious Ukrainian food. I’m really excited to try out these recipes! Do you have a recipe for non-diary pelmeni dough? Thanks!
Hi Olivia! I wish my grandmother was still alive so I could ask her all about her cooking. She passed away :(. You are blessed to be able to enjoy your Babushka’s food :). Unfortunately, all three of my recipes have some form of dairy. If I do come across something great, I’ll be sure to share it! 🙂
Cant wait tobtry the recipes
Thank you Portia! I hope you find many new favorites on my blog 🙂
Hi Natahsa, thank you for your wonderful Russian / Ukrainen recipes .
Iam working mom with 3 kids and love cooking foods from my childhood :). I want the same for kids 🙂 so they can remember what delicious and rich food we have.
Are you planning to do weekly meals with balance food for families who don’t have abilities to cook everyday :).
Please keep me posted if you will.
Congratulations on your pregnancy !!!!
Luba Juliet Darer
San Francisco , Smule
Thank you so much Juliet :). Are you looking for menus? We usually make big portions of foods to eat throughout the week such as soups, rice, chicken casseroles, and we always add something fresh like a new vegetable on the side.
All recipes look so yummy.
Hey Natasha! My names Angie and I love your website! It’s great and so easy to follow along when cooking or baking. 🙂 I love that theirs photos with each step of a recipe. I was wondering if you could get one of manti, and a cake called rizhik? Let me know! Thanks again! 🙂

Hi Natasha,
First of all, thank you for your site and for the great recipes! I’m a big fan. I have a question for you. Do you pack school lunches for your kids? If so, what are yours and your kids’ favorite lunches to pack? The reason I’m asking is that every day I have to pack a school lunch for a 5-year old who is a very picky eater and I constantly rack my brains trying to come up with foods she will like.
Thank you!
Yura
It’s kind of hit and miss as to what my son will eat. I pack him lunches most days and it’s usually a sandwich or a tortilla wrap with cream cheese, shredded lettuce, sandwich meat, cheese, sometimes tomato; rolled and then cut into pin-wheels. I also pack him things like string cheese, dried fruits (he loves prunes, figs and dried apricots), sugar snap peas or baby carrots and I bought tiny condiment holders for ranch from Fred Meyer. I hope that’s helpful :). You might check out weelicious.com for more kids lunch ideas; that is her specialty 🙂
This is a great giveaway 🙂
You da boss Natasha 🙂
thanks
Hey Natasha!
Would you have a dip recipe for a veggie platter??
Thanks Kathy
Hi Kathy! The only things I have which could work for a veggie platter are the spinach and artichoke dips (both regular and a light version). You can find them here on my appetizers category: https://natashaskitchen.com/appetizers/.
I love your recipes!
Thank you Aimee 🙂
Hi, Could you please do more recipes of good sushi?
Thanks
Hi Tanya, I currently just have the California roll sushi because that is pretty much the only one I will eat; in addition to cooked shrimp sushi. I’m nervous about eating raw fish, especially with pregnancy. Have you had a chance to check out the Cali rolls recipe?
Hey Natasha, I had been wanting to ask u and don’t know how to contact u so I decided to comment lol which part of Idaho do u guys live? And also do u have a russian church in that city and apex how big is it?
Thank u :))
We go to church in Meridian Idaho; our church is Full Gospel Slavic Church. We include Russian, Ukrainian and the English language (for the youth). What do you mean by apex?
