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's a book that explains different culinary techniques, aware that the reader may know nothing about cooking, and shows them applied to the many recipes it presents. That way you immerse yourself in the culinary world, and honestly her passion for cooking sweeps you up.

Today we welcome Raquel Carmona, whom you will not only know from her food blog Los Tragaldabas, but also as co-author of the book La Mesa del Pecado, which was recently awarded the "Best Innovative Cookbook" (Spain), a prize granted by the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2014.

Our contributor Virginia, from the gastroblog Sweet & Sour, brings us a perfect recipe for mushroom season: meat pies with black trumpets. A recipe that creates happiness at home: a delicious combination of flavors with an irresistible presentation.

How nice it is to remember that there are things that, without elaborate preparations, are absolutely delicious! Our friend Míriam, well known for her blog El invitado de invierno, knows this very well. Today she tells us how she enjoys some prawns cooked in the Le Creuset cast-iron skillet (everything cooked on iron tastes even better, right?), and she pairs them with a homemade aioli that you'll want to finish by dipping bread into.

Many of us already have a fondue at home. It has become an ideal gift, and it's a delight to own one. But it's also true that some have it stashed away and, honestly, I think that's a real shame! Fondue is a practical kitchen utensil — one with which you can sort out a lunch or dinner quickly — it's fun for diners, it's easy to prepare and to clean — important, right? — and also, from my experience, it encourages conversation and livens up meals, since it is, so to speak, a group activity, a dish to share that invites conversation.

Laura, from the food blog Because, brings us a recipe that is a delight for the whole household. Easy to prepare, it will capture the attention of all your guests and be a treat for both children and adults. Here is this provoletta prepared by Laura, made in one of Le Creuset’s most versatile and stylish pans, the Skillet.

Loreto, de Sabores de colores, nos acaba de hacer la boca agua: ha preparado un provolone picante al horno, que combinado con ajo negro y tomate concassé convierten la receta en una maravilla.
