Ihor Kulakov

Ihor Kulakov is a Ukrainian author, journalist, and storyteller who believes that words — like good food — can nourish the soul. A lifelong explorer of culture, history, and everyday magic, Ihor brings a deep curiosity and a journalist’s eye to every story he writes, whether on the page or in the kitchen.

His work has been recognized with several international awards, but it is the simple joy of sharing ideas, flavors, and human experiences that continues to inspire him.

When he’s not writing or researching, Ihor can often be found experimenting with new recipes, collecting old cookbooks, or wandering city streets in search of untold stories. Through both his fiction and culinary writing, he invites readers to slow down, savor life, and rediscover the beauty in the everyday.
