1 – SPRING ROLL
Ingredients: 6 sheets of rice, 1 chicken cutlet, 1/2 avocado, 1 carrot, 1/2 lemon, coriander, mint, 1 handful of rice vermicelli, 1 handful of peanuts, a few lettuce leaves, nuoc-nam sauce, 1 clove of garlic, salt, and pepper.
Recipe: Cook your chicken in a pan of water with salt, pepper, coriander, the juice of half a lemon, and the nuoc-nam sauce. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. To finish cooking your meat, let it rest for 1 hour. On a baking sheet, brown all your peanuts in the oven, about 5 minutes at 200°. Cut and pit your avocado and roughly crush its flesh, add some lemon juice and a tablespoon of chopped coriander. Mix well. Cut your washed lettuce leaves into julienne strips, peel your carrots, and cut them into sticks or tagliatelle with a mandolin. Dip your rice vermicelli in boiling water for 5 minutes, run under cold water, and drain. Chop your mint leaves. Dry your chicken on a paper towel, slice it very thinly. Spread a damp cloth on a work surface, then dip a sheet of rice into a bowl of cold water for 5 seconds, place it on the cloth, and place the filling at the bottom of the sheet. Roll the sheet up to its half, fold in the sides and finish rolling to obtain a nice roll. Do the same for the others. Serve with sauce and salad leaves.
2- SUMMER SALAD
Ingredients: 1 baguette, 3 spoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 bowl of cherry tomatoes, 8 mini mozzarella balls, 100 g of chicken, 1 bunch of basil leaves.
Recipe: Preheat your oven to 190 degrees. Cut your baguette in half horizontally. With a pastry brush, brush both sides of the bread with olive oil. Cut your bread into small pieces and bake for 10 minutes. In a bowl, add the tomatoes, mozzarella, chicken cut into small pieces, basil, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix with the bread and enjoy.
3- PASTA SALAD
Ingredients: 2 tomatoes, 70 g of pasta, basil, and 1/2 tablespoon of mozzarella.

4- SALMON SKEWERS WITH PESTO
Ingredients: 400 g of salmon, 1/2 tablespoon of sesame seeds, 3 small onions, 40 g of pine nuts, olive oil, and 1 bunch of coriander.
Recipe: Cut your salmon into cubes of the size you want and thread them onto skewers. Cook your pine nuts. Blend the peeled onions, cilantro, and pine nuts, adding olive oil little by little until you have pesto. Sprinkle the skewers with sesame seeds and cook them in a pan for 10 minutes.
5- GRILLED CHEESE WITH AVOCADO
Ingredients: 2 slices of bread, 2 slices of cheddar cheese, basil, pesto, 1/2 avocado.

Add the spices, chopped pepper tops, and corn and continue cooking until the meat is done. Stuff the peppers with the meat. In a small saucepan, pour the sliced tomatoes and cook them until you have a tomato sauce, adding water if necessary. Finally, place your peppers in a standing position.
