About

Hi there, and welcome to my corner of the internet!

My name is Olga, and I am the author and recipe maker behind Cross Cultural Kitchen. I was born and raised in Russia, but now living in New Jersey with my husband, son, and our new rescue pup, Sophie, for over 17 years and loving it. My favorite things to do? Ugh, there are just so many things you can do when you live in New Jersey, but to name a few: going to the beach, hiking in out beautiful state parks, visiting art and history museums, going to New York Giants and New Jersey Devils games. That is just in New Jersey, but one of the other things I love about living here is the proximity to New York, Philadelphia, Ocean City, MD, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. And Boston is not too far either 😊. This was my shameless pitch about living here. Now back to Cross Cultural Kitchen.

                Here you will find quick, easy, fresh, delicious, and (mostly) healthy recipes that I love. My goal is really to inspire you to try to get in the kitchen and start cooking. Before you know it, you will be wowing your friends and family with your food.

                Along with all the recipes I also use the blog to share our favorite places to travel, my husband’s photography, and bits and pieces of my life.

                I hope you’ll join me on this adventure.
