Who am I?... and a very short version of my story.
My name is Christine, born on 1986 (I’m 28 now), mother of a
lovely daughter, Tala (18 months now), and wife of an accomplished symphonic
music composer, Ramz Sabry Samy.
I am Egyptian, graduated from the French University in Egypt with a bachelor of Information Systems and a minor in Management, then I studied in the University of Nantes in France and had my Masters of Information Systems Applied to Management (M.I.A.G.E). I then worked as an assistant in my faculty and a computer teacher at my high school. After that, I worked for Hewlett and Packard.

I was very good at what I was doing, and I hated it!
It was never what I loved to do… It is just that I never knew what was it that I love to do!?
I tried many things, on a hobby and semi-professional scales (fashion designing, wedding cards designing, photography, choir singing, playing the piano, guitar and tabla, counseling, I even published a book! …)
Things I love a lot! But none was THE thing!
Until I discovered that my passion for cooking wasn't at the level of a common housewife…
I loved it, got addicted to it, got creative with it, and before I knew it, at work I was the food expert that anyone with a food related question would go to.
So I dropped everything and started my own small project from home 2 years ago.
Believe it or not all my past experiences in the different domains came all together to be useful in what I am doing: my management and computer background, my photography and designing skills… just everything!
I took things seriously and I studied an online course with the University of Hong Kong for Sciences and Technology, called “The Sciences of Gastronomy”.
Apart from this course, my knowledge comes from researching, studying books and online articles, internet, experience, experimenting, and trial and error.

If you think, I am crazy or stupid... or wonder if I still
see this as a wise decision to have made…
The answer is:
The answer is:
It is working great for me, I am happy and I love it!
