About me

Who am I?

My name is Ksenia Prints and I am a food blogger and photographer. I love to create unique recipes and capture captivating images of homemade fresh food and products. I also thrive on bringing people together through food - in virtual workshops or in person.

I am a mother to junior chefs Leo and Lin, and wife to F., who prefers to remain behind the scenes - but you can bet he helps me out by tasting, advising, assembling tripods and too many things to count.

See the answers to some of your most burning questions in my FAQ. You can join my newsletter to get to know me better.

Let's see how we can work together to bring your brand to the Immigrant's Table!

  • As part of #MoreThanALabel: Immigrant Stories, I will be sharing my story and how I believe we can shatter the stigmas attributed to immigrant communities.
    My Immigrant Story - #MoreThanALabel
  • I spent four short days in modern-day Poland, making my way from Warsaw to Krakow, taking in the old and the new. This is my attempt to decipher it.

  • Like a snowstorm that grabs onto you and refuses to let go, pelleting you in the face with flurries whose resemblance to cartoon snowflakes is hidden under layers of cold wind and frozen water, so 2015 has begun for me. So at times like this, I remind myself of a phrase an old boss used to say: we're in the business of managing expectations.

Why is this blog called At the Immigrant's Table?

I am the daughter of immigrants, an immigrant myself, and married to another immigrant. My journey has taken me from the former USSR, to Israel, and now all the way to Montreal, Canada (through Winnipeg, to boot!).

Through food, I reconnect with my family's migrant history, adapting it to common dietary restrictions.

I am also an avid traveller who enjoys exploring the world and other cultures through immigrant cuisines.

Suitcases contain many things: clothes, photographs, and housewares. Pieces of ourselves that we drag across borders, reminders of where we come from, or equipment for who we want to be. But our family's kitchen table can't be transported, no matter how big the suitcase is. There is no container large enough in the world to hold the smells, sights, flavours and textures of our homes.

This blog is my attempt at recreating those immigrant kitchen tables.

Why You Should Cook My Recipes?
