Mukimono and cook

Mukimono is the art of fruit carving, i usually do it in my spare time. In the kitchen I always like to be experimenting with ingredients that I have available or that I have not tried in combination. I can say that pasta is one of the dishes that he prepared most frequently. In addition to the innovation of dishes not known to me, I am intrigued by their preparation. decorating cookies and cakes are one of my favorite hobbies, since they require a lot of time and dedication and the result is impressive. For event decoration, which also includes ice sculpture carving, I´m still practicing it. And as a sport in hot seasons i train swimming, besides that it is one of my favorite activities
