Inna BushmakinaCommunity profile

She is a chef who doesn't chase titles, but who has consistently placed first in numerous competitions. She has been trained by renowned chefs, including Alain Ducasse. She has worked in top restaurants in Ukraine. Her first significant experience, which transformed her perspective, was at the TAKAHATA restaurant, where her mentor was Alena Shugarova, a Kyiv-based chef with international experience. Her career as a chef began at that restaurant, when she was 23 years old. She led a network of restaurants owned by Sergei Voropaev. After moving to Russia, she worked on top projects such as the Amur restaurant and the Echo restaurant (as a pastry chef). Currently, she successfully combines her profession with running a business and is developing as a restaurateur. She now heads the kitchen of her own project, PIZZAHUB. As Inna says: "Creating a new project is like having a child; you know in advance what color their eyes will be and what their favorite habits will be."

She was born in Mariupol, Ukraine, and has two degrees: one in culinary arts and pastry, and another in economics. She grew up in a family where cooking is a tradition – she is a chef in the third generation. That's why, at the age of 16, she knew more than her mentors in the field. She has always approached her work with responsibility and enthusiasm. Continuous self-improvement is what helps her move forward and stay up-to-date with current trends. She is raising a bright and cheerful child, Valeriya, and is teaching her the art of working with chocolate. She created a chocolate workshop for her, and her daughter is the brand ambassador. She moved to Russia and is working and developing in the Far East, in the city of Khabarovsk.
