My passion

Do you enjoy cooking? Can you cook?
I just love to prepare meals because I am a food freak :) For me, cooking is a way to relax and to get into the world of ingredients that are always fresh and diverse. I admire aromatic basil, heavy garlic, crisp carrots, juicy fish, and fragrant mushrooms.
I started my journey with cooking 15 years ago when I learned a few kitchen basics from my mother. She showed me how to make broth, handmade pasta, how to cook stew and fry chops. Four years later I earned associate degree in Nutrition. School made me literate in cooking because it opened my mind on various aspects of nourishment. I learn how to recognize fresh ingredients, how to storage them, how to process them, and make delicious and healthy meals. Today, I cannot live without cooking and I still look forward to finding new recipes :)

Cool! Is there one specific moment you can think of that is really clear to you as a literacy moment? Like a moment when you figured out just how all the ingrediant went together?
