Bio
Originally I studied pharmacy. But soon after my studies I met holistic medicine and health sciences in Germany which completely transformed my understanding of diseases and their treatment.
At the Bruker Institute, founded by German physician Dr. Bruker and operating in this spirit, I completed training as a health consultant.
The institute focuses on health preservation and related nutritional science, but also addresses the effects of environmental factors on our health, organic farming, and building biology.
Since our diet has the most significant impact on the development of lifestyle-related diseases, I wanted to further my expertise in this area, so I completed a master’s degree in Nutritional Science at the University of Pécs.
In 2012, I opened my cooking school in Piliscsaba. Prior to that, I had been teaching cooking for nearly 10 years: either at home in our kitchen—which was a serious challenge with four children—or in a rented kitchen in Budapest, which was also a serious challenge, since at that time there wasn’t a single cooking school in all of Budapest. The only kitchen available for rent was the demonstration kitchen of the Budapest Gas Works, which was built in the early 1900s for the purpose of teaching housewives how to cook with gas.
At my cooking school, I teach the diversity of a full-fledged kitchen to both children and adults. I can confidently say that the cooking school is international, as participants come from all over Europe. I also held workshops in English and German.
Over the past twenty-five years, I have participated in numerous projects, collaborating with hotels—including the Grand Hotel on Margaret Island—restaurants, institutional food service providers, local governments, companies, and hospitals; I also teach at the University of Pécs. For years, I worked as a science journalist, edited a radio program, and reported on nutrition and prevention in countless broadcasts.
In 2001, my husband and I founded the kétezeregy Publishing House, with the aim of publishing books and other materials related to health in the broadest sense. Our books include *Soup Lies*, *Sugar Blues*, *Summerhill*, *In Search of Lost Happiness*, our only children’s book *Hi, Baba*, two *Eco-Calendars*, and my cookbooks: *Simply Delicious* and *The Whole Foods Kitchen*.
Currently, my research topic at the doctoral school of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Pécs is the dietary treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Like many other conditions, RLS responds very well to dietary intervention. This project is still ongoing, and my results are very encouraging.
I look forward to seeing you at my courses, consultations, lectures, and other events. If you’d like to reform your restaurant, your company cafeteria, your employees’ lifestyles, or your city’s public food service, you’ve come to the right place.
