“I graduated from the Academy of Arts, got my master's degree and did my diploma in multimedia design. I worked as a designer for Siesta Publishing and also did various projects. However, cooking has been my constant guide since childhood. I often had to travel to different European countries where I attended many cooking workshops, and in some places I also received a certificate.

My great love and interest in cooking made me decide to change my profession. I enrolled in a culinary academy, then there was the culinary reality show “Restaurant”, after which I started my professional career as a chef. For 10 years I worked as a chef in many establishments and I also worked on one-off projects. I have had my own café. Now I work on individual orders as a brand chef.” - Tamara Goderdzishvili
