11. Is this better?
What kind of food does this woman like?
I absolutely adore fish, particularly white fish, such as sole or haddock,
cooked in a little white wine, with some garlic and lemon. Recently, I’ve
been experimenting with Japanese recipes, particularly raw fish. Oh, and
I love vegetables such as courgettes, broccoli and asparagus and fresh
green beans. But I hate them overcooked. Oh, and I’m terribly fond of
pasta, but it must be freshly made!
