Today Miriam, author of The Winter Guest, brings us a recipe to prepare delicious croquettes at home. I encourage you to prepare them, with their tips and tricks they will undoubtedly be perfect for you.

There are recipes that represent such a classic that we must recall them from time to time. This is what happens today with this Galician tuna empanada brought to us by Luisa, from Cocinando con mi Carmela. It is a must see!

The fondue is an ideal gift: it is a very nice utensil that you can use both on a day-to-day basis -when you don't feel like big complications and just want to enjoy yourself-, as well as in meetings with family and friends, the fondue being an element that invites to share and have fun with the family.

Patry, author of Sabores&Momentos, brings us a classic in the form of a puff pastry tart: the combination of escalivada with feta cheese is excellent, resulting in a tart that is very easy to prepare and that everyone will like.

Miriam, author of the blog El Invitado de Invierno, invites us to prepare some vegetable chips in a light version. Light in fat, but full of flavor! These vegetable chips will become an original appetizer at the table or a great option to enjoy with the kids between meals.

The recipe that Luisa brings us today, from Cooking with my Carmela, is a recipe that you will enjoy with the family without taking much time in the kitchen. You love the idea, right? That being the case, I encourage you to try it, because these mussels with sauce are for dipping bread!

With little more than some good anchovies, a little garlic, oil and prawns, you can prepare some Bilbao-style anchovies that are a real delicacy. This recipe that Carmen (author of Yerbabuena in the kitchen) brings us is very rich, healthy and easy to prepare. It is an ideal recipe for these summer days, do not forget to try it because you will succeed!

I love Julia Child's book. It is a book that tells the different culinary techniques, knowing that the reader may not know anything about cooking, to see them applied to the different recipes that it exposes, which are many. Thus, you enter the culinary world, and the truth is that your passion for cooking invades you.

Today we welcome Raquel Carmona, whom you will not only know for her gastronomic blog Los Tragaldabas, but also for being co-author of the book La Mesa del Pecado, which has recently been awarded the "Best Innovative Cookbook" (Spain) award. Awarded by the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2014.

Our collaborator Virginia, from the Sweet & Sour gastroblog, brings us an ideal recipe for mushroom season: meat pies with trumpets of death. One of those recipes that create happiness at home: a delicious combination of flavors with an irresistible presentation.

How good it is to remember that there are things that, without great elaborations, turn out to be absolutely delicious! Our friend Miriam, well known for her blog The Winter Guest, knows this very well. He tells us today how he enjoys some prawns made with the Le Creuset iron skillet (everything cooked on iron tastes even better, right?), and accompanies it with a homemade aioli that you will want to finish dipping bread.

Many of us already have a fondue at home. It has become an ideal gift item, and it is very exciting to have it. But it is also true that there are those who have it parked and, honestly, I think it's a real shame! Fondue is a practical culinary utensil -with which you can solve a meal or dinner quickly-, it is fun for diners, it is easy to prepare and clean -important, right?- and also from my experience, it favors the communication and encourages meals, since it is, so to speak, a group activity, a dish to share, which calls for conversation.
