I was born in moscow, daughter of a second generation baker, and part of a long tradition in the field. I came to England when I was 7 and worked later on in my dad's bakery, loved the smells, and everything that went with this lifestyle. I worked for a short time as a model, hated it, but met some great people. I then went to France and Italy to study, and came back to work in the family bakery. I now work for a large hotel in London as first pastry assistant, and will soon be able to be recognised as a pastry chef. (here comes the big money) as they say..... Family bakery is doing well, my two youger brothers run it now. I plan to travel back to Moscow in 2009 to see family. I love to travel, and if I wasn't a chef, i'd work in the travel industry. My favourite trip was to Egypt (been there twice now), loved everything about those trips, stayed just over a month last time there, would like to stay 6 months at some point to soak in everything. the people, the places, the history, the food, I highly recommend going there.
