Mariia was born in Russia and grew up in a small village not far away from Moscow where she learned to cook Russian traditional food and sweets since 3 years old. She always knew that passion for food was that one thing that she wanted to structure her life around. She graduated from Moscow State University of food production and moved to the US when this story began. She soon had two little ones who never stopped helping her with improving the recipes, cheer her up and motivate to make everything a little bit better each day!
