I am native Serbian, live in Italy. I love to cook. The interest started at the age of 20. I have gained experience and skills from home, traveling, and my work on a sailboat.
Through my various trips, as assistant skipper and cook on board, I had the opportunity to eat various specialties of phenomenal cuisine.
"A recipe may begin with ingredients, but its true flavor comes from the love and memories shared through it."
