"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"-- Provided by publisher.

I was so excited to get my hands on a hard copy of this book. For a long time I have followed Natasha in her kitchen on the Internet, making the most mouth-watering meals. Her light-hearted approach to cooking and her sense of fun bring a whole new dimension to cooking. Yes, it can be really fun! I am really picky about my cookbooks and there simply must be a picture to accompany every recipe. Natasha does not disappoint. The bright food photography surrounding each recipe will surely motivate you to begin making your own delicious entrees. Natasha adds a personal note to this book by including stories of her family's immigration from the Ukraine to America. I enjoyed learning about her history and how this is deeply connected to her style of cooking, her family, and her home. For fans of Once Upon a Chef, don't miss this one! -- Library Staff Review (Tiffany J.)
