As you can see in my recipes, I do not often cook meat or fish. The reason is simple: I come from a country where there are no oceans and seas, and the fish we ate mainly comes from lakes and rivers. And it is my parents who always cook it for me.

As for meat, it is my husband who chooses, buys, cuts up and cooks. I just eat. Well, this is as it should be: you know, the cave man, mammoth …

But I have the next generation growing up of meat eaters. So sometimes I just roll up my sleeves and do it! As the saying goes: “a talented person is talented in everything” hahaha
