My ways in the culinary world began at the age of seven... I tried to cook cucumber :-) as you can easily imagine the outcome was...... Since then the kitchen is my favorite place, it opens channels of renewed creativity every time I walk in. At the age of twenty I realized the world has a lot to offer and there began my food trail journey, 3 years of amazing experiences are deeply carved in my memory, I was exposed to cultures, smells and amazing tastes But above all I was exposed to people. I learned of openness and acceptance , loneliness and togetherness which thought me that Food like love and music has an international language That connects people. This amazing connection of food and people started my professional life as a vegetarian chef. Thru my 20 years of cooking I accomplished a masters degree in education and today I combine my 2 passions Cooking and food therapy. In my web site , http://www.mikafoodart.com/ , you can find fine vegan recipes , experiential cooking workshops, and many more surprises
