With the permission of the most purist chefs, today I suggest reimagining one of the classics of French cuisine, Coq au vin, and preparing wine-braised chicken with cider, which has nothing to envy in the traditional recipe. Without hesitation, chicken in a casserole is delicious any way, but in this dish, replacing the red wine with dry cider is a complete win, because its apple notes pair so well with the chicken.

Autumn arrives and with it, always hand in hand, one of the undisputed stars of the season: the pumpkin!

This cauliflower and coconut curry, aromatic and very comforting, is a recipe you have to try. If, like me, you enjoy dishes with that distinctive spiced touch of Indian cuisine, you'll relish it from the moment you reach for the spices to prepare the mise en place.

There are traditional dishes that should be cooked and savored at least once in a lifetime. An example is the French onion soup I’m sharing today. A soup in a casserole, cooked slowly, that only asks for a bit of patience so the result is as spectacular as the classic recipes always are. If you haven’t had the chance to try this soup with gratinéed cheese, don’t miss this casserole recipe. If you already know it, you know as well as I do that the aroma and flavor of this French onion soup are incomparable.

Although it’s not in season yet, today I bring you the wonderful baked cacio e pepe artichoke recipe, which you must make when they are at their best because it’s really worth it. The truth is I love artichokes, no matter how they are cooked. If someone gave me a bouquet of these flowers, they would make me the happiest person in the world!

Whether you love spicy food or it's not your thing, today I'm going to tempt you with this delight in the form of cheddar and chili rolls, tender and warm they go down wonderfully. These slightly spicy cheese buns are the perfect excuse to gather everyone at home around the table.

It’s sure to be a hit, because this roast, cooked in a casserole and slow-simmered for hours, is the ultimate draw.
