A vegetarian recipe is always good! I hear more and more often in my area that people eat less meat and that makes me very curious about how you think about it. Do you eat less meat? If so, why? Or if not, why not?

As mentioned, you can use all kinds of vegetables. In the fall it is delicious with boiled pumpkin and mushrooms. Or go for a combination of Dutch and Italian; Tortellini with endive! Or alternate with tomato sauce instead of pesto. So many variations :-)!
