RED FRUITS

I remember that one of my favorite activities as a girl was going to the country to look for blackberries because it was impossible to find them in the fruit shop; today I’m glad to see so much variety of red fruits in the supermarket. I especially like raspberries, gooseberries and cranberries; I also use them to make cookies or jams.

DRIED FRUIT

Especially dates and nuts. Since discovering my intolerance to gluten and lactose I have had to change my diet, give up foods I ate almost every day and add others, such as nuts. The mix of dates and nuts is an energy pump that charges your batteries at any time. In my purse I carry a small bag.

HAM

I think I could live only on ham, the good type, the one with the fat that coats your fingers. Its smell makes me salivate. I never get sick of him.

CURRY

I've always been attracted to exotic flavors, but it took me a while to incorporate some spices into the kitchen... now I add curry to everything. I use the same powder as pasta: green for soups, yellow for chicken and vegetables, red for shrimps, prawns...

TEA

Not only am I addicted to tea, I would say even a little manic: at breakfast Ialways take the variety Earl Grey (when I travel I take my tea), after lunchcinnamon and cardamom tea, ginger tea in the afternoon ... I try to avoid asmuch as possible the use of bags because the ritual of measuring time,filtering the leaves and savouring it. It gradually relaxes me.
