When I was little, my grandmother always taught me how to cook. She cooked everything by eye and taste, and I enjoyed watching her create delicious dishes from simple ingredients. I also loved helping her in the kitchen, enjoying the flavors of the food and learning how to cook different dishes.

Over the years, I started to cook more and more on my own, and my recipes became more varied and complex. I love experimenting with different ingredients and creating new dishes.

My favorite recipe is a traditional Italian dish - lasagna. I make it with meat sauce, layers of lasagne sheets and cheese. This dish requires a lot of time and effort, but the result is worth it. I also love cooking curries, vegetable stews and risotto.

Also, I have a few food stories that I would like to share. Once I was in Italy and I tried real carbonara pasta. I was amazed how simple ingredients like eggs, bacon and cheese can create such amazing taste. It was a real discovery for me.

Another story is my first experience of cooking Indian food. I have always loved Indian food, but I have never tried to cook it myself. I decided to make a curry and was very surprised at how many spices it takes to create a real taste. It was a long and difficult process, but I was pleased with the result.

Cooking for me is not only a way to prepare food, but also a way to see and learn about different cultures and traditions.
