My connection to the kitchen has been going on since I remember myself at about age 5, mixing, helping and taking an interest in everything relates to cooking and baking. Over the years I gained experience, collected recipes and mostly cooked and baked for my immediate and extended family. I try to cook healthier and more nutritious cooking - but let it be delicious. It is quite possible, even in cakes it is possible and desirable to lower the amounts of sugar and fat and still enjoy, because in my eyes food is one of the great pleasures in life!

Favorite Kitchen

Israeli cuisine, also East and West - I am the daughter of a Romanian father and a Tripolitan mother, so there is both.

Types of food

Home cooking, baking, various health recipes, also in breads, cakes and cookies.

Chefs I Adore

Haim Cohen, Israel Aharoni.

The most useful tool in my kitchen

Manual blender.

What I most like to cook

Winter soups, stuffings, cakes, cookies, toppings, stir-fries, pies, festive food for the holiday - I am usually the main cook.

Childhood Memory

I come back from school at the age of 6 and my job almost every day is to cook an addition (rice, mashed potatoes, etc.) to a stew my mother would make in the morning, and also to peel the burnt eggplant and make a Romanian eggplant salad.

I believe

There's nothing like home cooking!
