Welcome!

I’m Kateryna

Food blogger & cookbook author

Welcome to My Kitchen – And My Little Corner of the World!

Hi, friend! First of all – I’m so happy and grateful that you’re here. 💛 If you’ve stumbled upon this blog, chances are we already have something in common: a love for good food, beautiful flavors, and the joy of sharing meals with the people we love. So, let’s get to know each other better!

Meet the Blogger Behind the Bites

My name is Kateryna, and my food journey started long before I ever picked up a camera or shared my first recipe online. Born and raised in Ukraine, I grew up surrounded by rich, hearty dishes, where every meal was an experience and every bite carried a story. Now, I live in Toledo, Ohio, blending my roots with new inspirations from around the world.

I’m a foodie to my core—constantly indulging in global flavors, exploring hidden cafés, and finding inspiration in the little things. Speaking of toasts, let’s just say I’m obsessed—if there’s a way to turn something into a delicious open-faced creation, I’ll find it!

By day, I wear my white-collar hat, navigating the structured world of work. But the moment I clock out, my true passion takes over: creating food content, developing recipes, and capturing the beauty of everyday meals. Photography is still an adventure for me—one that I’m loving more with each snap of my camera.

And if we’re getting personal, let’s just say I’m a textbook Capricorn—stubborn, determined, and always chasing perfection (just ask my husband 🤣). But when it comes to food, I believe in keeping things approachable, fun, and full of love.
