Healthy Salads
There is no better feeling than to nourish your body with a colurful salad. I personally love eating salads for lunch as they keep me satisfied and full until dinner, without the food coma a heavy meal would cause. So they're perfect with you if you want a quick lunch that will keep your energy levels up for the rest of your working day and you can easily prep them as well!

Italian Inspired
My favourite pasta is either Bavette a form of broader spaghetti, spaghetti or penne. I just feel long spaghetti and Bavette give this original Italian experience and there is nothing better than rolling up spaghetti covered in sauce with your fork — and you can still look elegant instead of just munching the pasta. Penne are great because their grooved sides hold on to more sauce and make the pasta even tastier. In this chapter I'll share my favourite sauces with you and recommend the best pasta for each, however if you're a sinner and haven't already stocked up on Bavette, Spaghetti and Penne you might also use other pasta instead!

Comforting Soups
For me soups are a winter and autumn dish... I can't eat them if it's over 15 degrees outside, sometimes I am almost sad, if I realise the season for soups is over. At the same time I basically seem to live on a soup-diet during winter! As I am someone who feels cold most of the time, a particularly enjoy the warming and soothingly filling feeling of a bowl (or two or even three?) of soup. The only soup I might eat during summer is a tomato soup, because it has such a nice and fruity taste!
