About Golubka Kitchen

Creating plant-based recipes that nourish body and soul

Our Story

Welcome to Golubka Kitchen, where plant-based cooking meets seasonal inspiration. We're Masha and Anya, and we believe that the most nourishing meals come from fresh, whole ingredients prepared with love and intention.

Our journey began with a shared passion for cooking that celebrates the natural flavors of fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. What started as casual conversations about seasonal ingredients has grown into a platform where we share recipes that honor both tradition and innovation in plant-based cuisine.
