Chef Krys
I resided in many countries. Although my parents were Polish, I was born and raised in Lebanon. Then I lived in the Arabian Gulf and France and lived for long periods in 2 different countries in West Africa. I now live in England! All the cultures I have encountered have built my personality and made me what I am today: a citizen of the world, "open" to many traditions and culinary concepts. On this website, you will find many Lebanese dishes due to the fact that Lebanese (Mediterranean) food has been proved to be quite healthy, tasty and it is now worldwide famous. I favour fresh and organic ingredients, whenever possible, and cook almost everything with extra virgin oil. And I like cooking from scratch.
