Hi, I’m Natasha — and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here!
Welcome to foodarabi.com, my cozy kitchen corner on the internet where I share my love for cooking, flavors, and everything I’ve learned (and continue to learn) about bringing joy to the table. This space is more than just recipes — it’s about culture, comfort, and connection through food.

How It All Started
My love for cooking started at home — in a sunlit kitchen filled with the aromas of slow-cooked spices, fresh herbs, and stories passed down from my mother and grandmother. I watched the women in my family work magic with simple ingredients, turning meals into moments of love.
Growing up, our kitchen was the heart of our home. From kneading dough with tiny hands to stirring sauces beside my mother, food became my language — a way to show care, to celebrate, to heal, and to gather.
Over time, my curiosity turned into passion. I began experimenting with recipes, documenting traditions, and learning how food connects us all — across generations, cultures, and tables.

My Philosophy
I believe food should nourish more than just the body — it should nourish the spirit.
Cooking isn’t about perfection; it’s about love, generosity, and a little bit of joy in every bite.
To me, every dish tells a story — and those stories are worth sharing.
