My top 5:


 

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Everyone in our house loves them. We try to comply with the recommended 5 pieces of fruit and/or vegetables a day and, the truth is, it’s not a problem for us.  We tend to go for seasonal fruit and vegetables, and local if possible.

WINE

Wine is undoubtedly one of our essentials. We drink it in moderation, particularly at dinner. We prefer red wine but, once in a while, we will also open a bottle of white. Valencia produces very good wines, which we love, and these tend to be the ones we usually have at our table.  

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Oil is one of the most-used products in our kitchen every day. As a dressing for salads, on roasted vegetables, on a slice of bread (“pa amb oli”), to prepare sauces… it has many uses, so we use it a lot in practically all our meals.  

 


DRIED FRUIT

We keep a variety of dried fruits in the cupboard at home and at work. My children love them as an aperitif and as a snack. We like most of them, we don’t have a favourite.

 

PASTA

With children at home, two in fact, pasta is a dish we frequently resort to.  As it happens, we’re also quite a sporty family, so we have pasta on the menu several times a week.
