I created this blog for people to really discover

and fall in love with Russian and Ukrainian cooking

and if you've ever been to a Ukrainian catered wedding,

or a potluck, you'll know exactly

what all the fuss is about.

Slavic people love to cook and they love to eat

and it's all about creating amazing and memorable flavors

using really the most basic ingredients

that you can find at any grocery store.

You can also find a little bit of everything Else

on this blog but it's only things

that our family really loves.

As a wife and mom of a busy toddler,

I know how important home cooking is for my family's health

and it's just an amazing feeling

to make a delicious meal that your family loves

and hear the hum of sweet satisfaction at the dinner table.
