If I had to choose the perfect dessert for any occasion, cheesecake would undoubtedly be among my favorites, because I couldn't choose just one.

It's delicious no matter the flavor and can be made at home very easily. This Chocolate Cheesecake: Chocolate cheesecake is the best proof of that.

Not only is it a gorgeous train: this coconut cake recipe is a delicious bite and very convenient to eat thanks to the way it's presented. The Nordic Ware Nordic Express Train pan is wonderful!

I bring you some bites that are as easy to make as they are fun: honey and vanilla cupcakes shaped like Easter bunnies. They’re perfect for decorating the mona with edible figurines, or for serving individually with coffee, at breakfast, or as an afternoon snack.

When Holy Week arrives we enter a season in which we're surrounded by a host of wonderful and extraordinary sweet recipes, like torrijas. But there is a wide variety of sweets from around the world that are also eaten at this time of year and that we shouldn't miss. Like this Pasca cu Branza - Easter cake filled with cheese.

We are undoubtedly a country of traditions and we have a lot of popular Easter recipes that are part of our gastronomy and our culture. I was excited to compile them.

Here are some ideas to make this Easter sweet and joyful that don’t require extensive baking skills. Because this Easter more than any other we’ll want to prepare our Easter treats at home.

Let's do our bit to make sure this delicacy, the authentic fried milk recipe, doesn't disappear! I was eager to bring a homemade dessert, one that's much loved and, interestingly, is being lost in many households that don't have a grandmother nearby. So today I bring one of the most popular desserts in our country, especially typical of Holy Week (in fact, it also goes by the names Easter milk, Lenten milk or Basque milk).

It's hard to find someone who doesn't like pasta, right? I'd say it's almost impossible, since there are countless varieties and it would be very rare not to find one that suits your tastes. The same goes for ravioli: this pasta can be filled with anything you can imagine, and there's even a sweet ravioli version.

The Pascualina pie is an Italian pie prepared at Easter to celebrate spring. It is ideal for taking to a picnic or outdoor meals. It consists of a puff pastry and a savory filling, typical of the culinary tradition of Liguria, based on spinach, ricotta and eggs that are revealed when the first slice is cut.

We couldn’t get to this time of year without the recipe for Hot Cross Buns, those delicious Easter buns filled with raisins and marked with that cross that makes them so recognizable, so pretty and so tempting. The truth is there are many stories surrounding them; Rosa (author of Pemberley Cup&Cakes) tells us some of them — you’ll see how lovely! — and brings us this delicious recipe so you can make them at home too. Happy Holy Week!

Since we don’t want traditions to fade, today Luisa (author of Cocinando con mi Carmela) brings us her recipe for potaje de vigilia, a dish traditionally served on Good Friday that, with the cold still with us this year, you’ll surely appreciate served piping hot. Enjoy!
