About me

Hello, my dear friends,

My name is Anna, but all my friends call me Annie. I can not say that I cook since birth, but for sure I have been enjoying delicious meals and sweets, prepared by the women in our family – mom, my two grandmothers, aunts, cousins, etc.

As a child, my grandmother Anastasia, whose name I care, taught me how to pull the dough layers for banitsa. It is a traditional Bulgarian cheese pie with very thin dough layers and cheese. My mom used to allow me to beat the batter for the cake with a mixer (a sponge cake, with no baking powder). And maybe for this reason culinary stuff and engagements are not something far and unknown to me.

My work in real life has nothing to do with culinary art. I have graduated in international economic relations in an academic Bulgarian town at the Danube river, Svishtov. This spring I even took my doctor’s degree and I almost my whole life I have been practicing insurance. A more specific one – covering financial risks.

During the recent years I have noticed that mixing some ingredients and preparing something to eat helps me to escape from reality. Even though the preparation process is sometimes quite time- and labour-intensive, I don’t feel tired. And in order not to bother my friends on Facebook, where I used to publish photos of my “work”, I created my page – Home cooking with Annie.

Guest chef

Of course, I must also present my “guest” chef – my partner Theo. He does not cook often, but when he does, something really delicious comes out.

Theo is an engineer, or as our daughter said when she was in kindergarten: “Daddy works as a master.” And he is really a master. There is nothing he can not repair. He seldom enters the kitchen, but he definitely possesses the gift to combine flavours and his culinary experiments are worth trying.
