I am a unique chef. Majority of cooks stick to their roots, but not me. I am Lithuanian, but almost never cook Lithuanian food. I take the best parts of cuisines from around the world, mix them up and it becomes Sweet Zivile Style!

I've been in real estate business for all my life and 1 year ago I became a full time food blogger, released my gourmet condiment line and wrote a book and I am just starting!

Sharing a meal together with friends and family is so much more than just sharing a meal. It’s sharing and building lifetime memories together. The food tastes so much better when you are eating it with someone you love. Why? Because the cook or the chef makes their food with love. One of my biggest pleasures is seeing that glowing look people make when a tasty bite is exploding in their palette. I give love when I cook, and I get love back when I see that look of pure pleasure.

A good meal brings families and friends together and can even help people with different interest find a common love. Breaking bread with someone means more than just having a meal, it’s sharing a sense of brotherhood with someone or group of some ones. It’s an event that fosters a meaningful connection and cooperation. Breaking bread between enemies indicates a sense of forgiveness and moving forward. In my view if people just sat down and had a nice meal together, we’d have more love and less war going around.
