My first trip to France was in the middle of 2000s. I vividly remember my excitement and joy from going to one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The country, that I still consider to be my favorite.

Beautiful Baroque architecture, drenched in history streets of Paris, melodic French language and of course mouthwatering and top notch French cuisine. All of this has left a significant impact on the shaping of my culinary and cultural preferences.
