You can make some really impressive recipes using just a frying pan! On this occasion, Julio (WMF chef) brings us an oriental-style vegetable stir-fry that's delicious. It results in very tasty sautéed vegetables, a recipe you can serve either as a first course or as a side with meat or fish.

For years I lived in ignorance, thinking that pisto manchego was the only pisto in Spanish cuisine, but how wrong I was! Today’s recipe is one of the variants that stems from the original pisto made only with tomato and green pepper, which is the father of all pistos. But it’s not the only one, although we won’t get into that because the one we’re interested in is this one, the recipe for pisto riojano.

Michirones are a very traditional dish from southeastern Spain. Across the areas of Campo de Cartagena, the Huerta de Murcia, the Alicante Vega Baja, and Mazarrón, you can easily find this dish in any of their bars, taverns, or restaurants.

We are in soup season and creamy soups that comfort the body and spirit. That's why we bring this succulent red lentil cream with a spiced character and ingredients that are reasonably Eastern.

I'm a total fan of the Le Creuset tajine. Even more so when you can make such great recipes with this vegetable tajine I'm bringing you today. This dish revives the soul and takes your breath away! Don't be put off by the number of spices I've used, because the combination is absolutely delicious and irresistible.

My son is an unconditional fan of macaroni and cheese, like almost all young people everywhere. My goal is always to get him to eat vegetables and more vegetables, the ones he seems increasingly unwilling to eat. That's why I come up with different versions of his favorite dishes using vegetables.

I love savory pies; they have always seemed very versatile to me and perfect to serve as dinner, a starter, or even as an appetizer. Also, it’s a preparation that allows us to have it ready in advance, only needing to serve it when required. I was looking for new ideas to make savory pies when I came across a sun-shaped pie on the blog Saines Gourmandises. I found it absolutely beautiful, so I had to adapt it to bring you this Autumn Sun Pie.

Mushrooms are starting to appear in the markets, the perfect sign that autumn is already here, with all that it brings: delicious recipes featuring a wonderful and very versatile ingredient.

With this mushroom soup with tomato we kick off the season of spoon dishes. Just into autumn it's time for a wardrobe change and also a change on the refrigerator shelves, which now hold the ingredients needed to prepare creams, stews, or legumes in a pressure cooker.

I admit that one of the things I find hardest to get people to eat at home in the summer is legumes, and honestly it's no surprise because I'm the first who, as soon as the heat arrives, only wants cool things. Is it the same for you? Well, I'll tell you one thing... You have to try this spiced chickpea and mango salad!

When summer arrives, salads become the stars of our table. They're refreshing, light, healthy, and you can make them as tasty as you like. What happens to me, though, is that I get very tired of repeating the same ingredients or dressings, and I'm very familiar with the most classic salads. That's why I'm always on the lookout for different things.

When the heat starts to arrive you only crave light, fresh dishes that help us beat the high temperatures, without giving up eating well. For that reason I'm always on the lookout for new ideas. And the day I saw this cold herb and tomato soup with toasted bread I fell head over heels for it.
