I'm not a professional cook. I have had three years of job training in hotel business where I worked also some time in the kitchen.
I have not really been taught to cook by anyone. My idol is my mom even though I never followed her when she was cooking.

There I became aquainted to the Mexican food. As a Spain lover I had the chance to work on Mallorca and finally ended up on the wonderful island of Crete, Greece, where I got familiar with Greek traditions and - of course - with authentic Greek food.
