Hello, nice to meet you. I am Irina Mi(khailava)!
I am a food inspired leadership trainer, a food educator and a writer. Moved by its power and defining role for humanity, I am passionate about collecting and sharing the wisdom of food .
Combining 15 years of learning and development experience with classical culinary training, I design and deliver interactive and thought provoking learning spaces that are delicious and stimulating at the same time. This has resulted in a number of Learning Products and a knowledge hub - InCompanyofFood, that offer food for thought and food-based learning.

Education is power. Keep learning to remain in a driving seat.
Food makes us what we are. Fear of failure and perfectionism are enemies of food as well as action.
New flavour is eyeopening. Try everything once.
“Food is about memory. It’s about experiences. It’s about the people you share it with.”
— Thomas Keller
“I've long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurised Stilton, raw oysters or working for organised crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure”
— Anthony Bourdain
“The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we seem to become.”
— Michael Pollan
