How It All Started

Hi! I'm Sergei Martynov, and this is my third attempt at building a cooking website I'm actually proud of. The first two taught me one thing: collecting a thousand recipes is easy — making each one worth cooking is an entirely different challenge. GetCookMatch is the site it should have been from the start.

The internet is full of sites with millions of recipes. Ours has the best — tried and tested in real kitchens by real people. No restaurant theatrics here: every dish is within reach for beginners and seasoned cooks alike. It doesn't matter how old you are or where you're from — if you have a stove and the desire, that's enough.

A Culinary Legacy

Vladimir Lvovich Martynov — culinary author, 500,000+ books sold

My love for cooking came from my father — Vladimir Lvovich Martynov, author of cookbooks with a combined print run of over 500,000 copies. Among them: "The Great Encyclopedia of Culinary Art", "1000 Holiday Table Recipes", "Eastern Cuisine", "1000 Ideas for Table Decoration", and "Children's Culinary Encyclopedia — Let's Cook Together". His books are still being reprinted to this day. My father was a wonderful person and a breathtaking cook. I won't say he passed on all of his mastery to me — but he taught me to understand food, and instilled a sense of taste that stayed forever.

Books by Vladimir Martynov — culinary encyclopedia, holiday recipes, eastern cuisine

I cook Central Asian dishes beautifully — plov, lagman, samsa are not just recipes for me, they're part of life. I love to experiment, try new combinations, and surprise my family with unexpected flavors. And I firmly believe: only home cooking gives you full control over quality — from ingredients to preparation. It's the foundation of healthy eating, and no restaurant can replace that.

My books are published on Amazon: "Culinary Magic: The World's Best Home Cooking Recipes" and "KETO DIET: Best Recipes for Health and Weight Loss". Soon you'll be able to download all three of my books in epub format — links will appear here.

Write to me, send your recipes and photos — we'll feature the best ones on the site. GetCookMatch is not just my project, it's our shared space for everyone who loves to cook.
