FUET


Is an absolutely indispensable product in the fridge at home.   I cannot be without a few slices of this cured meat a little while before supper, at supper or as an aperitif at midday. It is exquisite with a little bit of bread, and I would be prepared to pay thousands for it (if I had them, eh!).

RADISH
Salads are a part of my diet, and they have a very important role to play for keeping in shape. A presenter with a belly that would cover the Region of Murcia should not be allowed… One of the products that I like most, because of the way they enrich the flavours of a dish, are radish. They are exquisite.

PEACHES

Directing and presenting "Aquí la Tierra" has allowed me to understand and defend the importance of seasonal produce as a more sustainable way of eating which is more respectful of the environment. For this reason, when the first heat arrives, I love to eat peaches, whatever the variety.

BEER

There are few products that I associate with moments of relaxation, disconnection, pleasure, of sharing with friends than a good cold beer. Another product that is ALWAYS in my fridge, whenever possible, is a very cold, blond beer, and preferably in a bottle rather than a can.

RICE

As Serrat used to say, I was also born in the Mediterranean and rice forms a part of my life history. I grew up with my mother’s exquisite paellas and, this product, whether in paella, risotto, soup, as a pudding… even boiled and white without anything added, is a marvellous accompaniment. And if you are also looking out to sea, it is LIFE.
