The smell of tomato sauce brings back her happiest culinary memories.
Raquel is our new FOOBY team apprentice. She would rather cook with others than on her own and is still searching for the secret ingredient that will give her dishes that special pizzazz. Her «happy soul food» is Italian cooking and coriander is a ingredient she will never willingly allow into her kitchen.
Raquel is our FOOBY newbie. As an apprentice she primarily provides able assistance to FOOBY team project manager Katja in ensuring that the FOOBY spirit is evident at all Coop sales outlets. Her job gives her a lot of interesting insights and the chance to indulge her passion for good food to the full.

The most important meal of your day?
Breakfast! I'm quite happy to have it twice a day.
What's your best or funniest cooking memory?
When I "redecorated" the whole kitchen with strawberry puree. At that time it wasn't that great, but now it seems quite funny.

Cinque Pi – it's my failsafe!

Yes I do. I have peeled plum tomatoes, chick peas and olives.

Anywhere I can get a good tartare or a tasty burger.

Anchovies, for definite!
