Have we met ?!
I'm Katerina!
I've tried on a lot of hats on over the years... from ethnomusicologist to radio producer to concert manager to shopkeeper (and a few stops in between).
Through all this time I've had one constant love for as long as I can remember: my love of cooking. My home has always been where my spice rack lives. If you have ever shared food at my kitchen table you would know that I like my food unfussy and delicious - I'm a proud home cook, not a chef. I have no culinary training or foodie aspirations yet few things get me more excited than talking, cooking and eating good food.
In countless fascinating conversations about food and cooking over the years, I discovered that despite the abundance (oversupply?) of recipes, ingredients and celebrity chef role models, many people feel stuck, uninspired and bored in the kitchen. What a shame... for sharing good food with our loved ones is one of the greatest joys of being human. This realisation sparked my passion for helping others to find ease and confidence in the kitchen without the need to rely on recipes and rules.
My intuitive approach is down to earth, common sense and perhaps a touch unconventional. I teach exactly the kind of cooking I do at home every day: no fuss, no stress, 100% delicious.
If that's what you are hoping to do too, you are in the right place!
