Nordic Ware smoker, valid for much more than smoking
I am very fond of a tool that is nothing seen, and that allows me to achieve results with meat, fish and even vegetables, which are truly wonderful. This is the Nordic Ware smoker , a unique product.
The perfect skillet
Often, when you think about buying a pan, you ask us: What pan do I buy that works for everything and that nothing sticks? And also: "What frying pan can I buy that is non-stick and is not harmful to health?" We'd love to have the perfect pan: affordable, lightweight, durable, versatile, non-stick and all-natural. The problem, to be honest, is that there is no such thing as a perfect pan.
Kitchen Craft and Claudia&Julia, a love story
We have been working with Kitchen Craft products for a long time, and some of you may have noticed that lately we have incorporated more references from this brand. The truth is that I have a special affection for this brand -it gives me a feeling that somehow intoxicates me, inspires me, and I think they have a character, an air, that goes a lot with the Claudia&Julia style.
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.
Tricks to get the perfect fry
Frying food is popularly considered an unhealthy option, since we add more oil to food than using other types of cooking. Today we are going to see that not everything is disadvantages and how we can make and enjoy a good fried food.
the table of sin
A few days ago I announced that we already had the book The Table of Sin available in our store. It is a fantastic book that comes from eight gastro bloggers, some of whom are regular contributors to this blog and great friends of Claudia&Julia.
Make yoghurts and desserts with a yoghurt maker
Far from just making homemade yogurt, in the yogurt maker you can prepare countless desserts (why else would they call it Multidelicias Yogurt Maker ?), from custards and creams to puddings, flans, fresh cheese or even biscuits. After all, an electric yoghurt maker is a steam cooking device.
Quiche Origin and how it is prepared
Surely many of you have cooked quiches. A quiche is a savory tart from French cuisine. The original recipe was born in the Lorraine region, in northwestern France. Hence its name: 'Quiche Lorraine'.
Crème Brulee. Origin and recipe
Crème Brûlée, Trinity Cream, burnt milk, burnt cream or Catalan cream, this creamy dessert is one that I love to prepare. It brings back great memories of when I was little.
What is a tagine and what is prepared in it
I feel a certain weakness for getting new flavors and experiencing different sensations every time I cook a recipe. If these dishes are cooked in a special way, my satisfaction is complete.
How to take advantage of the meat grinder
As a true lover of traditional and healthy cuisine, a meat grinder cannot be missing from my kitchen. With this fantastic utensil I make meat for my stir-fries, meatballs, meat pies, pie filling, sausages, steak tartares and hamburgers.
