It was her therapy, a way to express herself. She was fortunate enough to travel all over Europe and America, meeting amazing people and seeing magical places. Now, she wants to share her talent with you while teaching and entertaining you at the same time. Dorina’s painting starts with fun recipes and a mission to find the right colors, in the form of fresh and, if possible, organic food.
