Die Dame, die das Mittagessen zubereitet

Explanation:
Die Dame, die das Mittagessen zubereitet.

"Dame" means "lady". Though you could use "Frau" (which means "woman" is more common in German)

... which means \"woman\" *and* is more commonly used in German.

Sorry for the typos :-)

Alice - Is this for a resume/CV? I just noticed the word \"job\" in your description above.

The sentence above means:

The lady who prepares lunch.

Is she a cook? If she is, the word \"Köchin\" (female cook) would suffice.
