Hey there! I’m Tatyana and Welcome to By Prayer & Fasting —
Welcome to By Prayer & Fasting — a space where simple, nourishing food meets the beauty of the Orthodox Christian life. Here I share wholesome recipes inspired by the rhythms of the Church calendar, created to support you through fasting seasons and everyday meals with intention, balance, and grace. My hope is to make fasting feel abundant, joyful, and deeply sustaining — for both body and soul.
What began in my own kitchen slowly grew into something more.
I believe fasting is not about restriction — it is about intention. It is an opportunity to simplify, to reset, and to nourish both body and soul. The recipes I share are thoughtfully developed to be practical, wholesome, and family-friendly. Many are rooted in traditional flavors, while others bring a fresh, balanced approach to plant-forward cooking that supports modern health goals.
In addition to recipe development, I bring professional food photography skills to everything I create. Visual beauty matters deeply to me. Each dish is carefully styled and photographed to reflect warmth, simplicity, and reverence for the ingredients. My goal is for every image to feel inviting and peaceful — like a quiet moment in the kitchen before a shared meal.
Whether you are new to fasting, returning with renewed intention, or simply looking for wholesome recipes to serve your family, I am grateful you are here.
May this space inspire you to cook with purpose, gather with gratitude, and approach fasting with joy.
