Being a chef was one of my favorite forms of working with food. I actually looked forward to any new cooking experience.

I am a very creative cook and I can cook up pretty much anything. I make children like veggies as well as delight guests with completely new flavors. I meet the strictest dietary restrictions. Vegan, kosher, Gerson, gluten or lactose free, paleo… you name it, I make it happen. I also love to teach how to cook better, entertain guests or even prepare an aphrodisiac dinner that can totally seduce your date. I make wildest culinary dreams happen, just ask. 

Sincerely yours,

Food Polka (who is she anyway?)
