Marco is a 32-year-old food blogger who lives in Milan, Italy. He loves trying new food from different countries. Every week, he visits a new restaurant in his city and writes about it on his blog. He also cooks at home three or four times a week.
Marco usually has a small breakfast at home. He drinks a coffee and eats a croissant. He does not eat a big breakfast because he prefers to have a large lunch. At lunchtime, he often goes to a local restaurant near his office. He usually orders pasta or a salad. His favourite dish is spaghetti carbonara.
In the evenings, Marco sometimes cooks at home. He likes trying recipes from other countries. Last week, he made Japanese ramen, Mexican tacos, and Indian curry. He says cooking is his favourite hobby because it helps him relax after a long day at work.
On Saturdays, Marco goes to the food market in the city centre. He buys fresh vegetables, cheese, and meat. He says the market is the best place to find good ingredients. He always talks to the sellers and asks them about their products.
Marco also eats out with friends every Friday evening. They usually go to a different restaurant each week. Last Friday, they went to a new Thai restaurant in the city. Marco ordered a green curry and said it was the best meal he had all week.
