Here are her 'top five':
NATURAL YOGHURT
I like to have a natural yoghurt with fresh fruit and nuts for breakfast. Also at night, when I get home late from the studio, it's easy to make. It is refreshing, and it gives be comfort when going to bed.
ORANGES
When December arrives, the first navel oranges are like a gift that you’ve been waiting months for. Peeling them, removing the navel and cutting them into pieces is a unique experience that reminds me of my childhood in Valencia.
WALNUTS
Every morning I eat a handful of walnuts with a bowl of fruit. Yum... I love them! I have jars of all types of nuts that energise me, but walnuts are my favourite because of their flavour.
FREE-RANGE EGGS
My speciality, very highly regarded by my children and grandchildren, is Spanish potato omelette. To tell you the truth, I make a great omelette, but it isn’t the only thing I like to cook with egg: I also love fried egg with crispy edges and eggs stuffed with anchovies and mayonnaise. And, of course, a simple French omelette, which is a true delicacy.
EXTRA VIRGEN OLIVE OIL
When I'm travelling around countries that don’t know about olive oil, I get home and realise how important it is to me. I like the simplicity of toasted bread with tomato bathed in a delicious olive oil with some olives and a glass of red wine.
