I love Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. I love fish & seafood, veggies and cheese. Savory dishes and spicy and sour taste. Ethnic cuisines. I like to cook and eat locally and seasonally and use the freshest ingredients. Mostly I prefer recipes with few ingredients and a resulting dish where each ingredient has a place to shine. To make a special occasion special I like elaborate and challenging recipes and a resulting dish that speaks about time, finesse, focus and love involved in it's preparation. I like to explore history, cultures and tradition through food.
