About my journey in cooking – I’ve always had a love for it, but it was through years of professional experience that I truly honed my skills and developed a deeper understanding of the culinary arts. I’ve worked in restaurants, catered events, and even taught cooking classes, but I found that my true passion lies in sharing the joy of cooking with others. That’s why I started Mike’s Kitchen – to create a space where anyone, no matter their level of experience, can discover new recipes, improve their cooking techniques, and build confidence in the kitchen.
