About Sergei Borodkin, Pastry Chef at Isrotel Exclusive Collection Hotel Chain

I was born and grew up in the city of Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan. I spent my childhood in a sunny, high mountain city, surrounded by apple gardens of Zailiyskiy Alatau. Smell of apple blossom, taste of melt water from mountain springs and roaring wind in mountain gorges made me strive for beauty my whole life. Combination of traditions and cuisines of the multinational region have been attracting me since I was a child. The brightest memories from my childhood are smell of my mother’s baking and cooking national pilaf and unique manti together with my father. Latest 16 years of my life I’ve spent doing with tenderness what I really like. I started my career as a simple kitchen helper.

Having opportunity to work with those people I observed creation of new fresh mindset in the culinary world. And I’m glad I’ve contributed to this difficult process.
