I find cooking very relaxing and love to experiment. My food hero is Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall; the idea of growing your own veg and rearing your own animals in a free-range, organic way is very appealing.

<br>When not cooking I work from home for a tech company in Finland, love animals, old cars, travel and good restaurants!
