Welcome to Our Plant-Based Kitchen
Where seasonal ingredients meet wholesome cooking
We're Masha and Anya, and we believe that the best meals start with the freshest ingredients. Right now, we're absolutely obsessed with juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, and abundant stone fruits – there's something magical about cooking with what nature offers us each season.
Our recipes aren't just about feeding your body (though they definitely do that beautifully). They're about connecting with your food, understanding where it comes from, and celebrating the incredible flavors that whole, plant-based ingredients can create when treated with respect and intention.
Cooking with the Season
Why We Cook Seasonally
After years of recipe development, we've learned that the most delicious food happens when you work with the seasons, not against them. Summer brings us juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, and abundant stone fruits, and honestly? We couldn't be more excited.
Seasonal cooking isn't just a trend for us – it's how we've always approached food. When ingredients are at their peak, they need less manipulation to shine. A perfectly ripe tomato in August barely needs anything beyond good olive oil and salt. Sweet corn in July is practically candy. This is the kind of cooking that makes sense to us: simple, intuitive, and incredibly satisfying.
Our Summer Kitchen Tips
- Never refrigerate tomatoes – it kills their flavor
- Grill stone fruits for an instant dessert
- Freeze fresh herbs in olive oil for winter
- Make gazpacho when it's too hot to cook

A Little About Us
We're Masha and Anya, the recipe developers and food writers behind Golubka Kitchen. What started as a shared obsession with seasonal ingredients has grown into a platform where we share the plant-based recipes that actually make it into regular rotation in our own kitchens.
Our approach is pretty simple: we believe that the best recipes use ingredients when they're at their peak, don't require a shopping trip to three different specialty stores, and actually taste amazing. We test everything multiple times in real home kitchens before sharing it with you.
After years of recipe development, we've learned that plant-based cooking isn't about restriction – it's about abundance. When you work with beautiful, fresh ingredients and treat them with respect, the results can be absolutely incredible.
