The Journal Collections are reflections of my life, of the things that I love to eat, and prepare for dears ones.
The whole living action plan is my new action plan for a better living. I love to eat, we all love to eat, but how much of what we are eating is really good for our health?

I love to cook as much as I love to eat, so let’s make our health the priority number 1 and eat healty. The soups presented here are very light, made just from vegetables, no preservatives added. I want to share with you all, other ways how to eat good and healty, with less efforts.
