Tired ofeating dishes that don't suit you? Meals that weigh you down more and more as the days go by? Dishes that give you digestive discomfort or make you fat? Indeed, at present, we are sometimes unable to feed ourselves properly every day. If today, it is not the quantity of food that poses a problem, it is the quality of our meals that pushes us toward unwellness or even illness or obesity.

Of course, more and more ready-made meals are available, easy and quick to eat. And this is finally what society is asking for. Living at 100 km/h every day of the week, consumers are less and less inclined to take time out of their hectic work schedules to prepare a healthy meal. This observation is obviously not a generalization but we can notice thatthe pleasures of cooking and eating are different from a few years ago.

Today, we easily find ourselves at the table with vacuum-packed pancakes, packaged cakes, pre-cooked cereals, burgers in trays, and so on. These foods, although unhealthy due to the addition of preservatives and sometimes dubious ingredients, also make the majority of the population fat.

What if we learned to consume again?

Let's start with some simple recipes that will give you a new lease on life and a new desire.
