Valentina Lipieva-Ivanova

Valentina, 48 years old from Sofia, is a culinary researcher. She created her first paella intuitively in a fish shop in 2022, turning a “recipe sheet” into her own gastronomic story, full of flavor, courage, and the aroma of the sea. For her, World Paella Day is a chance to unleash her creativity, draw inspiration from the world, and show that dreams do come true.
