Every Recipe Tells a Story

We're Oliver, Natalia, and Victor—a family united by wanderlust and a passion for authentic flavors. Our journey began with Oliver's foundation in hospitality management across Austria's alpine regions, where he learned the art of service and developed an appreciation for European culinary traditions.

Natalia's heritage traces back to the vast landscapes of Siberian Russia, bringing deep knowledge of Eastern European preservation techniques, fermentation, and hearty comfort foods. When our paths crossed on the beautiful island of Koh Chang in Thailand, we knew we'd found our perfect travel companion.

Every recipe we share carries a memory—a moment when we discovered something beautiful about the world and about ourselves. Whether it's the som tam that made us both cry and laugh on our first date, or the pelmeni recipe passed down through Natalia's grandmother's hands, each dish is a story worth sharing.
