HAM

I'm crazy about a good Bellota Iberian ham. I usually accompany it with Parmesan cheese, olives and croutons. I'll use any excuse to have it on the table, in the middle of the afternoon, watching a movie, when someone comes to visit, etc. If I have some good oil, I'll splash some over the lot.

BREAD

I like good bread, not just any. I prefer it made from sourdough: in Galicia we are used to very soft bread, with a lot of crumb and a crunchy crust that remains fresh for two or three days. I think that depends on the baking time. Onion bread is my favourite.

OLIVES

I like all sizes and flavours. I love when they give me some as a taster and they come with spices. In fact, it's the first thing I ask for in a restaurant before the food arrives. When I travel, I miss them very much.

BANANAS

I love all fruit in general, from the very small. I usually ask for some that is in season. Yet, when there is a lot of work to be done a banana is essential, there are always some in my dressing room. They give me a lot of energy.

ICE CREAMS

There are nights that I can't go to bed without having had one. I like to have one of the freezer drawers filled to the top with different kinds of ice cream. I'm crazy about berry tubs. In general, I like any ice cream that’s pink. It's kind of childish, but I like to keep that touch of innocence.
