I did have organic vegetables out of the garden. Now bringing them home from the market is kind of an uplifting moment. Since my 40s I’ve been sorting out my diet, throwing the frying pan away and getting the steamer out which makes me feel lighter. I use cold-pressed olive oil and don’t cook high temperature foods. I do make lots of vegetable soup with al dente vegetables. I need to be careful with salt or I get very puffy.”
