Who doesn't love a good roast chicken, with its potatoes and little vegetables? And if I tell you there's a utensil where it cooks all by itself and, on top of that, the oven doesn't get dirty… Well, what I'm telling you is, with the Emile Henry chicken roasting oven you can get a crispy, golden chicken that saves us from the dreaded grease all over the oven.

You already know how we love to make use of the casserole. From making soups and creams to cooking a rice dish, putting together a good, hearty fabada or stew, preparing braises, cooking countless fish recipes or, of course, cooking meats to the max with very little effort. That’s what we’re doing today!

Although it takes a while for autumn to arrive on the islands and summer almost merges with "winter" for us, we do like to prepare dishes worthy of the season we're entering.

It's a season when those comforting stews you want to dip bread into are appealing, and you also have the option to add seasonal ingredients like chestnuts or even mushrooms.

They arrived in Spain to stay, like countless dishes that enrich world cuisine. Today I’m talking to you about kebabs, already familiar to everyone. Plain kebabs are those skewers of meat or even fish that are cooked on a skewer over charcoal, always seasoned with many spices which, to my taste, are what make them special.

Anyone else here who lives on salads during the summer? And anyone else who by the end of July has run out of new ideas and ends up always eating the same salad? I admit that having a varied repertoire that suits the whole family isn’t always easy, so I try different salads and save the ones that are most liked at home to share with you. And, what can I tell you, this pickled chicken salad with mango, goat cheese and walnuts has been a huge hit!!

At home my mother always made the hamburgers; she preferred to choose the meat and have it ground on the spot and then season it with garlic, parsley, and onion. Those things are not forgotten and I have been unable to buy ready-made hamburgers.

With spring arriving, let’s make the most of the cherries that are starting to appear at the market. In this recipe, the boneless lamb has a flavorful stuffing and is served with a thick sauce with an intense cherry and wine flavor. You’ll love it!

This Strogonoff or Stroganoff is one of my favorite dishes. There is no single recipe and everyone usually adds their own touch. We're talking about a Russian stew that's basically made with beef, mushrooms or wild mushrooms and onion in a cream sauce (and here's where it differs), which is seasoned in different ways.

Can you think of a better plan for a Friday night than the classic “sofa and movie?” I can: pair it with a great dinner!! What can I say, I have a very developed foodie streak, hehe. But you can't deny that pairing a good movie with a good dinner is a perfect plan! And if there's one dish that's sneaked into our favorites for these nights, it's pulled pork tacos.

Let's see, for my understanding… Who said that to eat well you had to spend a lot of time in the kitchen? Well, whoever said that surely had never tried this pork tenderloin with orange glaze.

The roasted ham is a classic Christmas dish or not strictly a Christmas dish; for example in Galicia it is a very popular dish with its little sauce.Imagine: a piece of patorra pork that we first cook to make sure we tenderize it, and that we finish by roasting in the oven so it releases its fat and turns perfectly golden. Oh, and we serve it with little potatoes, sweet potato and onion. What Americans call comfort food through and through.
