The Menu: Dominique Janssen

An instalment of The Menu with the Wolfsburg defender, a Netherlands international facing a Champions League quarter-final reunion with former club Arsenal, who had recently announced a partnership with Kenwood and opens a breakfast bar of smoothie bowls for her compatriots during international breaks. Janssen wishes she could eat more cake, naming cheesecake, carrot cake and Dutch apple pie, and cannot stand coriander because it tastes like soap to her. Her treat back home is fries with sauce and a veggie snack. She eats tomato rice and porridge before a match and takes a recovery shake afterwards, having become vegetarian following the Olympics while still eating fish occasionally. Banana bread does for half-time. Risotto with pepper is her signature dish, and bread with chocolate flakes her cheat meal.
