Lunch time is reserved so that Lise can play badminton with her colleagues, and she loves to fuel… on sushi!

Sophie recently discovered the various uses of the pumpkin when cooking, and she is constantly (according to her kids!) searching for new ways to integrate the pumpkin in her recipes. Pumpkin in chili, in muffins, in mac n’ cheese, etc!
