After I graduated from high school, I went to university, majored in Architecture and worked at a design firm. I forgot about cooking for a while, because I barely had time to do anything. But whenever I had spare time, I’d elope to the kitchen to cook a nice meal. University was hard to get through, but I finally graduated and went off to the world to get a 9 to 5 Architecture job. I was never happy as an employee, it felt like my creativity was being crushed. I was always depressed and I went through a hard time. Then I decided to quit my job, work as a freelance architect, find something I love, and pursue it. 

 

This is how Holy Mitt was born on Instagram, on February 15 2019.  I started developing my own recipes, cooking, styling, and photographing my dishes, then sharing my passion with the world. I learned how to write recipes, how to style food, I borrowed a digital camera from my friend, and learned how to use it. Few years later, I have my own camera, a great photography kit, and my love for cooking and creating recipes is going strong. I push myself to keep learning and getting better. 

 

I am inspired by everything and everyone around me. The people I love, a greengrocer proudly selling his produce, an artisanal baker talking about his bread, the people behind each food brand pouring their souls into what they do, the smile on a stranger’s face when they bite into a Shawarma wrap, trees bearing ripe juicy fruits, the smell of newly pressed extra virgin olive oil, the cities I visit, the smell of a spice market… All of these things inspire me. Inspiration is everywhere if we know how to look. 

 

I am very passionate about what I do, and I hope that you can feel this passion in the recipes I share with you. This is only the beginning of this journey, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!
