Hello, I'm Anna

I’m a food writer & educator with a keen interest in family recipes and history. I’ve spent the last few years exploring my own family history, which resulted in The Soviet Diet Cookbook: exploring life, culture and history – one recipe at a time.

My goal is to inspire as many people as possible to record those precious recipes, write down memories, interview, process the information and ultimately gain a better understanding of self.

Join my courses & lectures, read my Family Cookbook guide & follow me on insta to learn more.

I moved to Australia in March 22 and can now be found making my babushka’s soupchiki, blinchiki and potatoes in Sydney.

The Soviet Diet

Cookbook

I cooked my way through the iconic Soviet Book of Tasty and Healthy Food, and wrote down my grandmother's stories about each dish.

Propaganda versus real life, delicious and terrible recipes, and a real insight into Russian & Soviet life.

"Missing so much my grandmother and her stories, and cooking, this book reminded me about warmth of my childhood and the spirit of Siberia, in some recipes I recognized that deep soul part I need so much today!"

Food gives insights into everyday life, culture and history. It connects us, not just with each other, but also with our past.
