I, Elene Kakabadze, will tell you about the extraordinary journey that led me from the beginning as ab aspiring chef to my current role as Executive Chef. This autobiography is about the dedication and undying love for the art of cooking that brought me to the top of the culinary world.

I recall my childhood memories of being in the kitchen - the smells, sounds and wonderful flavors that awakened in me a love of cooking. Today's dish is also from my childhood and is dedicated to my grandmother, who contributed immensely to my development as a foodie. This is a nostalgic culinary creation inspired by my grandmother's culinary art, each bite tells its story, imbued with boundless warmth and love.

Long hours of work, intense pressure and invaluable lessons that have shaped my craftsmanship and in which the lion's share belongs to Tekuna Gachechiladze - these are my first steps. It was she who laid the foundation of my culinary philosophy, values and principles that guide me in the kitchen to this day. You know, no journey is without failures, disappointments and betrayals, but in such moments I always remember those victories that made it all worth it and those moments that strengthened my love for culinary art. I would like to end my biography by thanking the mentors, colleagues and loved ones who have supported me throughout my culinary journey. And I sincerely encourage your readers to embark on their own journey with a strong desire and drive, just as I did.
