For many years, I took my health for granted. I was a 13-year smoker before meeting my husband. After marriage, I became too busy pursuing my new career, which led me to postpone my dreams of motherhood that remained unfulfilled. When my husband and I faced the reality of being childless, our family expanded with the adoption of our beloved cat, Gromit. This pivotal moment in 2006, at age 40, ignited my journey into nutrition and culinary expertise, driven by a desire to nurture myself and those I love.
