Good vegetables and fruits with nice colors and fresh aroma, tender pieces of meat, fresh fish, well-cooked cheeses in the accompany of ‘real’ bread and fruity wines, sweet endings, preferably a piece of chocolate with the coffee, and last but not least, the pleasant company around the meal. When I think about it , almost everything I do revolves around food. ”
