NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An inviting collection of more than 100 trusted, budget-friendly recipes for every meal and occasion from the creator of the wildly popular website Natasha’s Kitchen.

“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.

Title: A Must-Have Cookbook for Every Kitchen!
Review: I recently purchased "Natasha's Kitchen: 100+ Easy Family-Favorite Recipes You'll Make Again and Again," and I am beyond impressed with this cookbook!Firstly, the variety of recipes included is amazing. There are dishes for every occasion, from quick weeknight dinners to special weekend treats. Each recipe is clearly written and easy to follow, making cooking a breeze even for beginners.What I love most about this cookbook is how approachable and practical the recipes are. Ingredients are readily available and the steps are straightforward, ensuring that I can whip up delicious meals without spending hours in the kitchen. The photos are also beautiful and inspiring, giving me a clear idea of what each dish should look like.So far, I have tried smash burgers, chicken fajitas, and creme Brulé and they turned out perfect every time. My family particularly loved the chicken fajitas, which has now become a regular in our meal rotation.Additionally, Natasha's tips and personal touches throughout the book make it feel like she's right there in the kitchen with me, guiding me through each recipe.Overall, "Natasha's Kitchen" is a fantastic addition to my cookbook collection. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable, tasty, and easy-to-make recipes that will quickly become family favorites.Thank you, Natasha, for sharing your wonderful recipes with us!

Title: A must have in my kitchen!
Review: I just received this cookbook and have read it from cover to cover. Haven't even made anything yet, but I can already tell THIS COOKBOOK IS GREAT! It includes recipes I would ACTUALLY make, and they aren't complicated! I love to cook, but some recipes are a chore. The way she lays out the recipes, and includes pictures of each, makes me excited to cook! This is going to be a staple in my kitchen. *Also includes meal plans using the recipes in this book for different occasions, which I think is super helpful*

Title: A Must-Have Cookbook
Review: I have been a long-time fan of Natashaskitchen's online recipes, so I was thrilled to purchase her cookbook. I ended up buying two copies, one for myself and one for my cousin as a birthday present. Natasha's recipes are always easy to follow and yield delicious results, which is why I knew this cookbook would be a valuable addition to my kitchen.What made this purchase even more special was that Natasha signed both copies for me. Her personal touch added an extra layer of joy to the gift, making my cousin's birthday even more memorable. The cookbook is beautifully designed, with stunning photographs and clear instructions, staying true to the high quality I’ve come to expect from her.If you love cooking and are looking for reliable, tasty recipes, I highly recommend this cookbook. It's perfect for both beginners and experienced cooks. Thank you, Natasha, for creating such a wonderful resource and for the special signed copies!

Title: Excellent Cookbook but issue with Spiral binding
Review: The most wonderful cookbook! Colorful pictures for every recipe and great instructions. Love that Natasha has a perfect balance of meals, desserts, and sides.The only issue is that the spiral binding did not last but a few months.

Title: Absolutely Worth The Price!
Review: I collect cookbooks even while getting a lot of new recipes online. This is one of the best cookbooks I’ve read AND used in my 90+ cookbook collection. This has the basics and extras done right:1. Neat clean layout2. Lays almost flat (spiral binding takes up too much room)3. A photo of the final dish!4. A PHOTO OF THE FINAL DISH! (Important)5. Clear instructions6. Tips to improve techniquesIt’s packed with great recipes. Natasha is not afraid of using the right number of seasonings. I have seen too many authors that dumb down the recipe by reducing the quantity of ingredients to make a recipe less intimidating to inexperienced cooks. Newbie cooks should try simply recipes or simple cookbooks. Buy this one.

Review: Boken var dåligt förpackad av Amazon. Tråkigt när det är ”fult” i hörnen.
