About the author

My name is Shira and I am a mother and a wife. Over the years, out of my love to cultures and people, I've traveled different countries and regions around the world: India, Nepal, Thailand, Morocco, the Middle East, Greece, Spain, the Balkans, and more When I arrive to a new place, what I particularly like is to try to remove my "tourist" way of thinking and try to really get the sense of the area , the culture and the people, as if I were local . With love and respect. I believe that the best way to connect to people and to really understand a culture is through its kitchen: through the spices, markets, different dishes, smells and flavors. Because I love to cook I'm often interested in different cultures cousin: I explore, taste, smell, experience and of course take pictures. Fortunately, I made good friends all over the world through my desire to learn and experience local cooking. I try to share this loves with the readers who also love culture and people, who wants to experience authentic cooking and believe as I do, that food is made with love. Enjoy the culinary journey!
