"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+ budget-friendly, foolproof recipes anyone can whip up. 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. Beautiful, mouthwatering photographs offers a glimpse into Natasha's life as she does what she enjoys most: cooking for her loved ones"--

IntroductionMy Story
I learned to cook under very real circumstances. My parents were from Ukraine, where they made a living growing and selling chrysanthemums. In 1988, they arrived home to find the little white envelope that would change their lives and mine. You see, at the time, Christians in Communist U.S.S.R. faced religious persecution, and it was difficult to make a good life there. The U.S.S.R. wasn t releasing refugees to the U.S., but thanks to a backdoor visa agreement between Israel and America, one unassuming slip of paper meant that we would be able to leave for the Land of the Free.
But the early days of our new lives were not easy. My parents had to pack all the worldly possessions of five tiny girls ranging in age from two to seven (I was four) into two suitcases each, schlep through airports across the world (Austria, Italy, New York), and find a safe place to sleep. At one point, we were among fifteen people crammed into one hotel room in a refugee shelter in Austria. Once we were in the U.S., my parents had to navigate a new country and a completely new culture, learn a second language, and figure out how to support our seven-person family with jobs that paid very little.
My father chose to forgo being on welfare so he could work eighty hours a week as a toolmaker, earning just seven dollars an hour with the hope that he would eventually climb the corporate ladder (and he did I m so proud of you, Dad!). Mom, on the other hand, dreamed of becoming a restaurant chef and went to culinary school to learn the ins and outs of working in a commercial kitchen. One month before she was set to graduate, she had to undergo emergency back surgery, and although she never returned to a professional kitchen, she raised us girls in our very own restaurant at home. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of watching her create stirring seemingly random ingredients into delicious and fragrant soups, whipping up the fluffiest Oladi

Pancakes (page 45), and, of course, making her now-famous Potato Pierogi (page 145). (You should have seen her face when I told her that, between my Facebook and YouTube followers, almost eleven million people have watched that video!) As a child, I remember loving those little potato parcels so much that I would bite off the corner of each one on my plate just in case my dad who loved them as much as I did was tempted to nab one when I wasn t looking. You can imagine how hard I laughed when my six-year-old daughter did the same thing at dinner one night!
For my mom, cooking was a magical combination of necessity and pleasure, something I ve carried with me since starting my own family and the Natasha s Kitchen platforms. She never measured anything; she just cooked from the heart. And somehow, she managed to keep us girls from getting underfoot we were more taste testers than sous chefs. In fact, she never wanted to let us cook because she saw it as a way to spoil us in one of the small ways that she could though, it s also why I eventually had to teach myself how to cook, but more on that in a bit. What was most impactful for me, though, was watching how she turned the humblest of ingredients into purposeful, inventive, and incredibly delicious dishes. It wasn t because she prided herself on being frugal although she did it was because she had to, or else we wouldn t have anything to eat.
You see, when we first came to the United States as refugees, we started with nothing. There were nights when we were cold and days when there wasn t enough food. It wasn t easy for my parents who had left everything they had and everyone they d known to come to a new world where their five children would cry at bedtime because they were so hungry. The breakthrough came when they discovered that in America there were food ba
