In summer, savory tarts are a perfect solution for summer dinners, excursions or picnics. They are easy to transport and it is something that everyone likes; In addition, they are as delicious hot as they are warm, so it is not a problem to take it anywhere to share a few hours after preparing it.

With these temperatures you have to take a lot of courage (or have a thermometer-proof confectioner's will) to face an oven on. Even so, in order not to discourage those who are reluctant to deprive themselves of a succulent dessert despite the summer heat, today I bring you this S'mores Cake, a recipe that does not require an oven, but that will hardly find a rival among those that do.

Usually, this is a cake that I make in a 20-22 cm diameter pan, but when I wake up unorthodox I start to innovate and today was one of those days. That's why I've thrown out my individual Emile Henry crème brûlée moulds, which have me crazy in love, and I've decided to prepare the pink apple cake individually. The presentation gains a lot and the oven time is reduced by less than half, two good advantages to consider.

Today I bring you a basic, an essential. If you have never dared to make cream at home, you should know that you do not require any kitchen robot, not even an electric whisk, and even less magical powers. Preparing pastry cream is the easiest thing there is. Trust me! It's quick and easy, so I highly encourage you to make it one day if you haven't tried it yet. You will see that I am not lying and I also assure you that you will repeat.

There is little left to finish the year and I would like to make a little balance of the utensils that we have sold the most or that have had the greatest growth this 2017. We have observed that the interest in cooking with good pans and making bread at home repeat position in the this year's list. We have also seen how every day more people are concerned with achieving a good presentation at the table and recovering the use of natural products in the kitchen. I leave you with the 8 top products of this year!

Carmen, author of Tia Alia , is back to bring us a lemon and meringue pudding that is the richest and easiest to prepare. Any excuse will be a good one to prepare this delicious dessert!

It is very interesting to analyze the products that most people have been interested in throughout the year. What makes me very happy about this 2016 is to see that there is a marked trend towards the most healthy and natural, and without a doubt also towards everything that is made at home. I leave you with the Top 8 with the most trend this year...
