About

Hi, I’m Alyona!

I’m so happy you’re here! Alyona’s Cooking started as a homemaking passion, with countless hours spent in the kitchen cooking from scratch to feed my family.

I later graduated from Culinary Institute of America as a Pro Chef to expertly craft recipes you can count on. To read more about that visit my bio page.

Over the years, millions of readers have come to the site looking for recipes that they can make for their families. Many of you have especially loved my mother’s Ukrainian recipes and my restaurant copycats.

My goal is to inspire your own homemaking journey by sharing the meals I cook for my family.

My Farmhouse Kitchen

Today, I’m a graduate chef, mom of six, living the country life on over 40 acres of land. I’m passionate about fresh-milled flour, seasonal eating, and baking sourdough bread every week.

Cooking is a big part of homemaking. With intentional planning and a cozy candle, meals can be less chaotic and more enjoyable!

Let’s Cook Together

Wherever you may be on your cooking journey, I hope we can grow together in skills. My cooking is simple, wholesome, and rooted in the joy of serving fresh bread and healthy meals to the people I love.

Join me here on the farm as I share my favorite recipes from our farmhouse kitchen — the ones I make day after day, that are tried, true, and well-loved.

Blessings, 
Alyona
