NIKITA LEBEDEV

The path of the chef  Nikita to the kitchen of “Food Factory”….

I have been involved in sports for many years and I have noticed that nutrition greatly influences my sports achievements.

“ I started cooking at home, experimenting with different foods and spices, discovering new flavor combinations.”

“80% of sporting achievements are nutrition and rest (recreation).”

“First we enjoy the food with our eyes, and only then when we taste it.”

The dishes prepared by Nikita are masterpieces of art created with special diligence and love.
