Ooh. One of my favorite topics. Yum.
1) What did you have for breakfast?Your turn!
A container of whole Greek yogurt; a grapefruit; two slices of brie; coffee.
2) Have you grown your own food?
Yes, although not recently. The last two things I "grew" were kombucha and kefir, and that was two summers ago. I need to get some more kombucha mother.
3) What is your favorite beverage?
Water. My beverage consumption is pretty much water, coffee, tea, and a wide, wide arrangement of wine. It's charmingly medieval, in some ways. ;)
4) Do you like to cook?
Yes, but I like eating more.
5) What is your favorite vegetable(s)?
Beets. Parsnips. Edamame. Butternut squash. Peppers. Daikon. Snap peas. Roasted brussels sprouts. Carrots. Yams. Kale. I actually can't think of any vegetables I don't like.

All that sounds very tempting :)
1) What did you have for breakfast?
Two scrambled eggs with paprika (hmm, I love that), a few quinoa crackers, and tea. But my preference goes to the traditional Japanese breakfast: a bowl of steamed rice, miso soup with tofu, a piece of grilled salmon, vegetables, pickled plums (umeboshi), a Japanese omelette roll, and green tea. After that, I’m on cloud nine!
2) Have you grown your own food?
Yes, two things I know how to grow: red radish (eaten raw with butter and salt - I love them for their sharp taste), and tomatoes (homegrown tomatoes? yep, there’s nothing else quite like that)
3) What is your favorite beverage?
In alphabetical order: carrot juice, Japanese green tea (above all, macha, but I appreciate sencha, gyokuro, and genmaicha too), water, and last but not least … wines - mostly red ones, though I’m not restrictive :)
4) Do you like to cook?
Oh, yes! I like to cook genuine food with a lot of taste. In fact, I’m always ready for any new culinary experience.
5) What is your favorite vegetable(s)?
Aubergine, zucchini, lettuce, sweetcorn, spinach, beet … I love them all! In fact, I buy vegetables in season - same with fruits.
Who’s next?
