I used to love watching my great-grandmother cook. It was a Sunday thing, where the whole family and neighbors would come over to our house&hellip;. But I never thought that the cooking that I had enjoyed every day and observed ever since I was a child would have so much influence. When I began working as administrator at the Dr. Caf&eacute;, I realized that cooking was entertaining for me. I liked it. I would feel very flattered when a customer would say, &ldquo;What a great meal!&rdquo; or &ldquo;Listen, that was a little too salty.&rdquo; Suddenly, I was spending my days thinking about different dishes, and I would go to bed thinking about dishes. I was discovering myself in something that I never thought I would have liked &mdash; and enjoyed, because I enjoy cooking.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mediterranean Salad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>fresh tomato \/ 1<\/p>\n<p>feta cheese \/ 120 g<\/p>\n<p>balsamic vinegar<\/p>\n<p>olive oil<\/p>\n<p>salt and pepper<\/p>\n<p>herbes de Provence<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Slice the tomato into 4 pieces and add salt and pepper.
