About the cook: My name is Irene ,mother of 2. I'm a homemaker . Just like the saying 'cooking is the love made visible' yes it's definitely for me it's my love . I love , enjoy cooking healthy food for my family , friends and everyone who comes over our house . Since childhood I'm interested in cooking , i used to watch my mom cooking delicious food and my dad always appraised my mom's for making droolworthy food with her magic hands that 's how my passion developed . My husband enjoys my food and he also encourages me to make my own creations , until now it came out well . I feel so much happier when my toddler says mama' i like it' , to the food i make ( she doesn't say that to all food ) . I watch lots of recipe videos , read blogs i inspire each and everyone of them . My dreams are to have my own blog and to publish my own cookbook, hopefully one day... Along with cooking I love drawing , dancing .
