1 of 1 copy available
“With delicious recipes and fun entertaining ideas, you’ll find inspiration and joy on every page.”—Jennifer Segal, author and creator of Once Upon a Chef
In 1989, four-year-old Natasha Kravchuk and her family entered the United States as refugees from Ukraine. Her mother was an amazing cook and spoiled her family with delicious meals, so Natasha never learned how to cook until she got married and had her own family to nurture. In 2009, she began blogging about the joy she discovered in creating and sharing recipes. Her audience exploded, connecting with her warmth and willingness to share both her triumphs and failures in the kitchen.
In Natasha’s Kitchen, she shares 100+ family-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, readers are offered a glimpse into Natasha’s life as she does what she enjoys most: cooking for her loved ones.

Creator of the popular blog Natasha's Kitchen, Kravchuk offers family-friendly recipes in her first cookbook. In the introduction, Kravchuk shares her story of arriving in the United States from Ukraine in 1989 as a child and details the struggles her family faced in their new country and then later her journey learning to cook for her own family. Kravchuk's Ukrainian heritage features in a few dishes in this collection, such as pierogi, rugelach, and a great borscht recipe, but most of the recipes are United States standards, such as lasagna, chicken noodle soup, and fresh peach pie. The recipes use readily available, simple pantry ingredients, the instructions are straightforward, and the pictures show the appealing finished products. There are also a few in-progress pictures for times when where words may not be enough instruction (e.g., for making a lattice-top pie). All aspects of the day's meals are covered, with chapters on breakfast foods, mains, salads, soups, and sweets. VERDICT Kravchuk's large social media presence and her easy recipes, perfect for busy weekdays, should make this book popular.--Danise Hoover
