If you want to avoid traffic jams, pay for a trip on a dedicated lane. At the same time, there is more space on the rest of the road. Such a system exists in some countries. So-called fast lines (fast lanes) are a success in the US. But our experts were ready to consider the Israeli option.

The star of Lara Katsova, a freelance chef from Odessa, rose in 2014. This year, Lara became the TV presenter of her own culinary show "Home Cooking" and woke up famous throughout the country. An independent culinary specialist introduced viewers to the famous Odessa cuisine, which, according to rumors and anecdotes, was only briefly known, but everyone in the post-Soviet expanses knew. "Home cooking" immediately won the love of viewers with both original recipes and sincerity, which the TV presenter showed while cooking, and the famous Odessa humor of the cook.
In addition to filming the author's TV show on the Domashny channel, Lara Katsova works as a chef at the Odessa Kitchen of Mama Rola enterprise, gives dinners in famous Moscow restaurants, and also goes on tour around Russian cities, where she performs at gastronomic author's shows and cooks in popular institutions in these cities. Today the press calls Lara Katsova a gastronomic celebrity.
Lara is a native from Odessa. The cook was born on May 17, presumably 1968 (it is difficult to find exact information). The story of the birth of this bright woman is as unusual as Lara herself. Despite the fact that Katsova was born in Odessa, Chelyabinsk is recorded in her metric. The fact is that immediately after the birth of the youngest daughter, Abram Katsov, a test pilot from Odessa, was sent to test a new aircraft in Chelyabinsk. When they found out that he had just had a baby, they advised him to cheat a little and write down that Lara was born in this northern city. Thus, the family could get housing in Chelyabinsk.
5-day-old Lara Katsova was immediately sent by plane from the “pearl by the sea” to the “most severe” city.
There, the girl graduated from high school with a degree in biology and chemistry and received higher education. True, not the one that the girl wanted. Lara Katsova planned to become an ophthalmologist. At the heart of this dream was the desire to cure her beloved grandmother Esfir Markovna, who was rapidly losing her sight. But Katsova was not admitted to the Chelyabinsk Medical Institute. But they took her to the Polytechnic, where the girl chose the Faculty of Chemistry and Physics of Metals. So Lara Katsova became a process engineer. True, Katsova's diploma was not useful.
Cooking and creativity
The creative biography of Lara Katsova is also closely connected with her beloved Jewish grandmother Esfir Markovna Trakhtman, on holidays to which Lara Katsova flew to her native Odessa every summer. Grandmother taught her granddaughter delicious recipes and wisdom of the Jewish-Odessa home cooking. As the culinary specialist repeated more than once in her own programs, Esfir Markovna made such mincemeat that the whole city came to try this treat. Lara's mother was also an excellent cook.
After graduating from high school in Chelyabinsk, Katsova went to work in Moscow. Future celebrity chef I was in a hurry to earn money for my grandmother's operation. So Lara got into Russian show business. Lara accidentally met with. The singer took Katsova as a concert administrator. Then Lara "migrated" to a similar job to. Further worked at.
A turning point in Katsova's life occurred when her mother passed away after her grandmother's care. Lara spent more than a month recovering from such a blow. This break was enough for show business to “forget” about the Odessa woman.
After some time, Lara Katsova managed to get a job in her hometown. Lara Katsova became the executive director of the Odessa festival "Big Difference".
Once Lara Katsova was sorting through her mother's things and found her grandmother's recipe book in them. And then also scattered notes and tips with the secrets of cooking mom and grandmother. Katsova began to cook according to them and was so carried away that she gained fame as one of best chefs native Odessa. An amateur cook began to be invited to Moscow, where, as a free chef, Katsova cooked for various restaurants and cafes homemade food.
For the second time, Moscow turned out to be more hospitable. An Odessa woman was taken as a concert director at the TV show ProjectorParisHilton, where Katsova solved the organizational issues of the TV show. But much more Lara Katsova was attracted by the kitchen, where the woman felt like a fish in water.
In 2014, when Katsova turned 47, popularity came to the woman. This spring, Lara Katsova became a participant in the Recipe for a Million culinary competition on the STS channel, where she competed with dignity against professional chefs. This is a project of a TV presenter known to viewers from the famous culinary sitcom.
And then the free chef received her own transfer. Lara was called to the Domashny TV channel and entrusted with hosting the Home Kitchen TV show.
Today, only eminent guests come to Katsova's show - show business stars, popular athletes, actors and politicians. A group with, and - who just wasn’t in Lara’s “Home Kitchen”.
Together with them, Lara Katsova prepares incredibly delicious homemade dishes according to the recipes of her beloved grandmother Esfir and her own. But these preparations would not be so attractive to viewers if the famous Odessa humor of the TV presenter did not go with them in a “duet”.
The chef explains the popularity of his own program by the fact that today people are already tired of Japanese, Oriental and other exotic cuisines. And in the TV show of Lara Katsova there are only homemade, cozy recipes, the ingredients for which can be found in the nearest store. In addition, culinary dishes can be repeated in almost any kitchen and almost everything can be prepared by hand, without using complex kitchen appliances.
As Lara Katsova stated in an interview, a self-respecting inhabitant of Odessa does not use a blender when preparing native dishes. The cook noted that for the preparation of cutlets, of course, a meat grinder is needed, but here is the mincemeat, eggplant caviar and various salads prepared only by hand.
The special homely atmosphere of the program is also supported by the main rule of "Home Cooking": guests cannot leave the kitchen until they have eaten everything cooked.
It is worth noting that Lara Katsova shares recipes not only in video format. Also culinary secrets chefs regularly appear in the Gastronom magazine.
Shares Katsov's own culinary masterpieces and on the page in " Instagram". This glamorous platform also failed to influence the chef's corporate identity. A freelance culinary specialist is not afraid to post photos of simple "non-glamorous", but everyone's favorite dishes like sandwiches with sprats. Nevertheless, even such a dish that any housewife can cook, performed by Lara, will be distinguished by professional presentation, experiments with ingredients and other interesting little things.
Personal life
An open and humorous artist does not like to talk about things that do not concern her work. The personal life of Lara Katsova is rather closed from prying eyes. In one of the TV broadcasts, it slipped that the TV presenter was married and had a family. But that's where all the information ends.
Lara Katsova now
Today, Katsova is often invited to various popular TV shows, which is not surprising. After all, now Lara is a real TV star. The audience watched their favorite artist with pleasure in the humorous entertainment shows “Killer Evening”, “Laughter without Rules”.
Lara Katsova's gastronomic career is only progressing. In addition to the TV show that is not losing popularity, the culinary specialist is also involved in other projects. As the chef promised, Lara published a collection of recipes from her legendary grandmother, Esfira Markovna, whom Katsova mentioned more than once in her culinary program. The book was published by the AST publishing house and was named after the program that brought Lara popularity, “Home Cooking”.
In addition, Lara Katsova continued to cook outside the television screen, the woman became the brand chef of a Moscow restaurant of Odessa cuisine called Barkas.
