If you are considering adding a cast iron skillet (or any other piece of cast iron) to your kitchen, you will surely have a question: What is the difference between the Le Creuset Skillet pan and the Lodge cast iron pan?

Making jam is a pleasure, and enjoying it is a real joy. The main process to prepare it is really simple, but there are many points that are important to know. That is why we have asked Virginia, author of Sweet&Sour, to tell us a little more about them, hoping that it will be of interest to you.

I have never been a great follower of fashion, and perhaps for this reason I have never made a cake with fondant or cupcakes with coatings or creams that do not taste like anything, despite their success. You will not have seen on the web or recipes or products or material for it. I admit that it is quite an art to make them, but they simply do not go with me. But there is a fashion that I definitely join, and it is the fashion of naked cakes.
