- Gabrielle, what do you like to eat in the winter? - I prefer warm dishes. For example, I like eating (some) raclette when it is cold outside. That recipe is also perfect for me because I love cheese. What about you, Alain? - It is a difficult question. There are too many choices! But my grandmother makes a delicious soup with (some) carrots and (some) potatoes. In winter, that's my favourite dish!
