I am not a professional cook, an unusual worker at a factory, but I really like to cook. Here I want to share recipes with you. I also created my own YouTube channel, which I will promote and post new recipes. This is my hobby. I like it. Maybe someday I will even earn some money from this and buy a piece of bread.
