A female chef is a rarity. And we are proud that for many years the kitchen at “Shinok” has been successfully run by a talented professional Elena Nikolaevna Nikiforova.

She graduated from the Institute of National Economy specializing in nutrition technology.

For almost twenty years she worked at the Ministry of Defense organizing catering for top officers at the headquarters, and then in the systems of public catering at GUM, Moscow State University and MGIMO University.
