About me

Moin moin;) Hello from Hamburg!
Welcome to a blog full of delicious recipes, healthy tips and a huge amount of inspiration! I'm here to share my experience with you.

Food is not just something we need to live. It's has a great force that can help us to achieve the goals, stay strong and move on. A delicious dinner can gather the whole family and guarantees cozy atmosphere full of love and comfort.

Gourmet Balance is about healthy self-made food, a smooth taste of good mood, a big hot cup of happiness and a huge bowl of pleasure. It's about me and my inspiration, about life and its beauty, about passion and love....

I was born and brought up in a little beautiful town Uzhgorod in the west of Ukraine. At the age of 24 I moved to Hamburg, Germany. Full of ideas and enthusiasm I enjoy cooking something special for my beloved husband. He's the one who supports me in everything I do, who literally pushed me to creating this blog. The one who tastes every single piece and whose critic I appreciate the most.

I don't stop in what I've started. In July 2014 I've completed online course "Child Nutrition and Cooking". This one was followed by a number of Cooking classes from professional cooks at Apples Restaurant in Park Hyatt Hamburg: the first in September 2015 with a topic "Wild meat and noble vegetables" and the next one in November 2015 - special Christmas theme - "Goose". And this is definitely not the end. I regularly visit exhibitions, master-classes, read cooking books and food-related magazines. I believe we can be better than yesterday. And every step forward is a success.
