    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 immigrant Leo 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.

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

    Check out some of my more personal posts:

    • 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.

    • Just when you think you might be alone in a foreign country, a friend comes along. These are the people that made my Jewish travel guide to Argentina.

    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.
