I’m 54. I’ve been working as a cook for 9 years. My milestone is chef at café “Centaur”
I worked as a cook for several years right after I finished school, as I liked to cook since childhood. But I had to change my occupation. I tried a range of professions until I finally understood that cooking is my lifework.
My favourite cuisine is Ukrainian, because it’s close to me since childhood. Moreover, I took over some traditions from my mother and grandmother.
All my hobbies are one way or another connected with cooking. I like to experiment, try new products, and create new dishes. I like to invent new ways of serving traditional dishes.
I have little grandchildren. I spend my free time with them. Together we bake cookies and pies, and make rejoicing of it.
Duck stew with couscous is a traditional Lviv dish. For some people, it reminds the taste of childhood.
