About me

I believe that cooking should be something that someone truly enjoys. I think that when someone cooks out of necessity rather than desire, the food does not come out nearly as well as it would if it was an act of love. I want to turn the passion I have for food into a profession, because my biggest wish is to make people happy with my dishes.

I believe that cooking should be something that someone truly enjoys. I think that when someone cooks out of necessity rather than desire, the food does not come out nearly as well as it would if it was an act of love. I want to turn the passion I have for food into a profession, because my biggest wish is to make people happy with my dishes. My food philosophy is very simple – when I cook I always follow four principles: fresh, balanced, innovative and attractive.

Fresh

Fresh ingredients are my passion. By connecting directly with food producers, I can ensure myself that the food with which I nourish my family is not only safe, but grown and raised under as close to optimal standards as possible. Foods grown locally, sustainably and picked fresh offer their peak nutrition to the consumer.

Balanced

I believe in balance – real foods, traditionally prepared offer myriad flavors, textures and nuances. Wholesome, pasture-raised meats, vegetables, fruits and plant foods, grains, whole, raw, fresh milk – all these have a powerful, positive effect in supporting health and wellness.

Innovative

I believe in raising, growing and preparing our foods through traditional methods with a bunch of innovation. Every meal in my kitchen has something from me, I put my soul in it, and there comes an explosion of different tastes, which is something fantastic! I always put a secret ingredient in the dish when possible. In that way it reveals the taste of food in unique way.

Attractive

I believe that people eat with their eyes, so each meal has to be attractive. Well served meals synchronized with an explosion of tastes make the perfect dish!
