cooking in fondue
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.
Opinel, pocket knives and kitchen knives of high quality
The first time Jordi brought me an Opinel knife for me to see, I loved it. A simple, sober design with a good grip and exceptional cutting quality. In hindsight, I discovered that behind the Opinel brand lies a centuries-old tradition (Opinel is the surname of the family that created them and has been manufacturing them), and that there are many particularities that make these knives a unique and highly respected item. For all these reasons, I want to share some of the curiosities about this brand, very interesting I think!, which make me like it even more.

I love to cook with my cocotte and with my casserole. I enjoy in the kitchen preparing stews and stews for my family and friends. I get excited every time I try new recipes. But I don't always get the measurements right and sometimes I cook for 30 instead of 4.
