Elena, also known as Lili, is a Romanian ex-scientist turned interior designer with an immense love for food and travel! She has visited more than 40 countries and has some fascinating stories to share. When she travels one of her favorite things is to sample the most unusual local foods she can find (from snails and frog legs in France to snake in Vietnam or crocodile tails and green ants in Australia!). Apart from science, interior design, food, cooking and travel, she loves photography and musical theater, and even performs with the local Rush Musical Society. Elena's mother is a great cook and Elena hopes to have inherited some of her mother's cooking skills! She lives in a modern home on the shore of the Irish Sea in Skerries, a former fishing village.
