Everything started from childhood. I liked and loved cooking various dishes and desserts. I dare to say that my love for cooking from childhood till now is due to genetics, as my father was a cook. Cooking has become my real profession since the day I set foot in Georgian Culinary Academy. At first, I took a professional course of confectioner, then I continued to work as a cook. After completion of the courses, I worked in several restaurants and pastry shops. I appreciate and love every step I took because I’ve gained wide experience. I feel myself very happy when people taste dishes or desserts prepared by me. Vegetarian cuisine takes up a large part of my culinary activity, namely, in restaurant Leila, where I currently host not only Georgian guests, but foreign tourists as well. - Aza Gogolidze
