When I started at The Chedi Lustica Bay, I was amazed by how beautiful the hotel and its surroundings were. It felt great to be a part of its growth over the years, especially as a member of the cooking team.

As time went by, my initial excitement only got stronger. The hotel's commitment to making delicious food and giving guests a wonderful dining experience has kept growing. This journey has made me love cooking even more and seeing how happy good food can make people, whether they're guests or part of our team.

Keep your curiosity alive. There's so much to discover in our kitchen. And if you're into healthy food like me, you're in good company! I love making tasty dishes that are good for you too. You'll see this care in the meals I prepare for all of us.

Lastly, stick with it. Challenges come and go, but they're what make us better. Your hands-on approach and caring attitude are awesome assets to our team. - says Julijana Vujadinovic
