Pumpkin with sweet pilaf

“I still need to learn a lot”… One day I got rid of such thoughts completely and started doing things what I really enjoy and feel happy about. I have not stopped for a single day since then. The desire was so great that every birthday was just another occasion for me to create something.

Daily hard work, studying and development, diligence and strong desire and continues dreaming that “Lime” would become a place where people would come specially for their favorite taste, helped me to achieve a goal. Imagine how great it is when you create a flavor that people adore. All this, of course, motivates and inspires me to create something new.” - Kristine Bubunashvili.
