Here are her “five from”:
COFFEE
It can’t be missing from my pantry. I won’t say that I’m nobody without coffee, but it does help to wake me up and to focus. There is also a certain ritual around that moment of relaxation, of stopping to have a coffee, which makes me feel at home and calm.
GAZPACHO
It’s not that I’m a bad cook, it’s that I lack the patience needed to dedicate time to cooking. It’s one of my pending tasks. So, ready-made gazpacho comes to my rescue for the occasional supper. I also love it.
WINE
I like to share times with my friends to drink wine and celebrate, so I always keep a few bottles at home in case there is a last minute gathering. My preferred wine is red, although I wouldn’t say no to a well-chilled white wine.
CARBONATED WATER
I’m completely hooked on carbonated water. I prepare it with ice and a small slice of lemon or lime and I always have it to hand when I sit down at the computer.
NUTS
I always like to have a jar of shelled nuts in the kitchen. I mix them with yogurt, I eat them with fruit and sometimes I add them to salads… and I eat them during those journeys to the kitchen when you don’t have clear reason why you are going there.
