Before Hiring a Kitchen Designer thisoldhouse.comPots made of iron, bronze, or copper started to change the pottery used earlier. The temperature level was managed by hanging the pot greater or lower over the fire, or putting it on a trivet or straight on the hot ashes.

It’s that time again!! Are you ready for a gazillion family photos? If not, might I suggest our Breakfast category, shrimp pasta, or a hot bowl of beef chili?

I love these personal posts the most. It’s like opening up the family album and sharing it with you because you are, after all, part of the Natasha’s Kitchen family!

We’ve had my friend Alla of In A Dream Photography take our family photos for the past few years (Here are the photos for 2017, then 2016, and from 2015) She captures light, life and love so perfectly. Her photos are warm and real and they make me smile big.
Alla also joined our team at Natasha’s Kitchen this year and we are so thankful for her!



I am so blessed and thankful to call Vadim my husband. He is the sweetest man and my right hand in everything. He sweeps me off my feet every single day. The more time I spend with him (and we are together every day), the more I want to spend time with him.

These two are 6 years apart but they love each other so much. They argue like siblings, tease and steal each other’s toys but their love is unconditional.

This handsome young man has a heart of gold. He won my heart long just as soon as I found out I was pregnant with him and he thinks I’m the best cook in the world. He tells me this when I make his favorites like lasagna, this chicken avocado salad, and creamy shrimp artichoke dip!



I think it’s pretty obvious everyone adores the “baby” in the family, although according to her, she’s not a baby, but “the sister.”





I want to turn the screen around and talk to you for a moment to say thank you. I appreciate YOU so much. I mean that in the most sincere way. It’s a wonderful life and such a privilege to be doing what we love.
You’ve been there for us for the past 9 years, sharing our recipes with the people you love. It’s such an honor to hear when one of our recipes graced your dinner table and had a picky eater come back for seconds (the best!!). I can’t thank you enough for following along with our blog and being so completely wonderful.
This Thanksgiving, I am truly thankful for YOU, my friends. Thank you for being part of the Natasha’s Kitchen family.
Loads of Love,
Natasha, Vadim and the kiddos

When Anguel and I travelled to Greece, I was really excited to try all the food. Gyros were on the top of my list. However, what I (stupidly) didn’t think about was that most of the time...vegetarian + gyros is a non-starter. Duh. So when I saw a falafel-based version on the menu, I almost cried (happy tears). And while the falafel-based gyros were indeed delicious, texturally I craved something a bit firmer and meatier for my gyros experience. So, the wheels started turning on another way to put a plant-based twist on good ol’ gyros. And here we are.
When it comes to mock-meat, I’ll be the first to admit it’s not my daily jam. Store-bought mock-meats are usually stuffed with so many unpronounceables, I get tongue tied even trying to read the package. Also, they usually taste weird. And with so many creative ways to cook plant-based meals, mock-meat is often unnecessary...although it is nice to have the option. Especially when it means you can indulge in delicious foods that are otherwise inaccessible to the meatless crowd!
Seitan is a typical go-to when it comes to mock-meat. Sometimes referred to as "wheat meat", seitan is made from wheat gluten (the protein part of wheat). When kneaded and cooked, seitan becomes firm and surprisingly meat-like in texture. It’s pretty cool, I have to say. Especially when you consider how its origins are said to go back centuries to vegetarian Buddhist Monks in China. But stepping back, seitan is also basically a block of straight-up gluten, which can seem a bit like dinner overkill, you know?!
So, after much testing, we’re pleased to share a delicious delicious seitan-ish recipe. The base itself relies primarily on beans (cannellini, to be specific). Spices and seasonings, like smoked paprika, oregano and thyme, provide a punch of flavor. Then, a smidge of wheat gluten comes in to provide just the right amount of meaty texture. It’s a match made in heaven. From a nutrition standpoint, cannellini beans end up being a great pairing for the wheat gluten. While wheat gluten is extremely high in protein, it’s an incomplete protein, due to its general lack of Lysine (an essential amino acid). But you know what does have lysine?! Cannellini beans. Put them together and you get a complete protein. Yup, we got you.
