Why Did I Choose Cooking as a Career?

by Maria Luz Flores

My name is Maria Luz. I’m from Argentina. I’m 47 years old.

I have been a professional cook since 2017. When I think about why I love to cook in my mind are memories when I was a child. In that time my family and I were in the kitchen all the time because it was the meeting place in the house. We usually got together while our mother was cooking to tell what had happened to us during the day.

I think very good things happen in the kitchen and the food it’s the most important for me.

I love cooking for my family, friends or anyone who enjoys the art of cooking.
