Обо мне
Born in UK, I now live in Israel.
Learned the best cooking from my mother,but studied industrial cooking as a kibbutz member.Cooked in the kibbutz kitchen serving 500+ meals daily, b'fast,lunch and dinner.
Was also kitchen manager in charge of menu planning,food cost,purchasing etc.
For the past 20 years I operate a day care centre together with my wife.
So now I prepare only 60 portions,b'fast,lunch and snacks for babies and toddlers up to 6 yrs old.
I love cooking,enjoy the colours,textures,smells,creating every day.
My own favourite food is Indian food,I have made this into a specialty hobby,and, with modesty, must say that my own Indian dishes are as good as,and sometimes better,than I eat in restaurants. I am crazy about using whole spices,grinding my own masalas as needed.
