Menu of the week: recipe ideas from Monday February 12 to Sunday February 18

This week is no exception to the rule: we favor February fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruits are in the spotlight for their vitamin C contribution, pears and apples are recommended for their fiber, while carrots provide a good dose of vitamin A… the opportunity to stock up on essential nutrients to support the harshness of winter. A beneficial energy boost that comes with delicious comfort food. Mid-week, time for indulgence with a Valentine’s Day menu at home, to be enjoyed alone or as a couple.
