Joy takes over me when December arrives. Christmas is approaching, a date that I love: thinking about family meals, those meals that sometimes end up as dinners, and also seeing the illusion of the children when they wake up and run to look next to the tree.

The recipe that I bring you today should become a staple in your kitchen this winter. For me, it is one of the best ways to eat soup that exist, since all the ingredients are cut into small pieces and you eat the meats, vegetables, pasta and legumes all mixed together in one bite (hence its name, since barrejada means “mixed” in Catalan).

These cakes that Miriam, author of The Winter Guest , brings us today, will enchant you with their tasty combination and how easy they are to prepare. In addition, you can do them both in mini format as they are presented here, as well as in a single large font. Do not miss it!

The other day I was telling you about what utensils are  the basics and essentials when it comes to equipping a kitchen, and which are also basics to take into account when it comes to renewing the utensils that one has. You can see the post here .

Many times clients who want to equip a kitchen or want to update their utensils, but do not know where to start, call us or write to us. There really is so much variety and specialization of the necessary utensils for a kitchen , that sometimes it can be a difficult task to decide what is the priority and also what is essential.

Rosa, author of Pemberley Cup&Cakes , takes us to England with this version of the classic British cuisine chicken pie. Rosa presents us with a really tasty version, but I encourage you to see it with the investigator cook mode on, since playing with other ingredients, the ones you like the most, will become one of your most versatile recipes.

Those of you who regularly follow us already know that we like traditional cuisine, chup-chup, making dough at home and doing things with love. Perhaps that is why we have always felt very close to Julia Child's cuisine. Today it is Laura, from the Because blog, who tells us about her best-known work, the book The Art of French Cuisine.

The author of Sabores de Colores , Loreto, brings us today a 100% autumnal recipe, both for the ingredients she uses and for the colour it brings to the table: with the combination of the toasted colours of the mushrooms and the red of the mini-cocottes , we are reminded of the colourful tones of the forests at this time. The recipe is very easy to make, but it achieves a result that will make anyone who tries it fall in love. Guaranteed!

I love fall! I love feeling the cold in the morning when I leave the house while I think about how much I missed it. There is another sensation that I also enjoy, and it is that of those comforting dishes that help you get away from the cold.

These last two weeks we have been talking about homemade jams, providing tips and tricks for its preparation and correct conservation (you can see the posts here). What better proposal for today than a recipe to make your own jam? It is proposed by Patri, from the blog Sabores&Momentos, it is made of figs and is ideal to combine with savory or to enjoy its delicious flavor spread on bread. To enjoy!

This year we celebrate a very important event for all of us who love good cuisine: Le Creuset celebrates 90 years!

The author of Sweet&Sour, Virginia, surprises us today with a recipe full of flavor and color. You will love this beetroot cream cold on hot days, although it is also ideal hot to warm up on colder days.
