My name is Maya, I’m 18 years old and live in Israel. I started cooking when I was very young, mainly due to the fact that my mother worked late, and preferred to make my own meals rather then defrosting ready-to-eat meals. Since then my love to cooking has only grown. I love anything that has to due with carbs- pastas, sandwiches, baking, and more. And also, any thing that used to have a mother: :) chicken, beef, seafood etc. All types of pastas and pizzas from my Italian side, and I prefer to leave the Hungarian cooking to my grandmother.. My well-packed toasts and seafood pastas. A very weird dish with fake shrimps (forgot the name..) and a creamed tomato sauce. I thought it came out horrible, even though my friends loved it. Oh, and a seafood paella that came out very, very spicy- too spicy! Had to add more rice to make it eatable.
