Emile Henry has created a beautiful ceramic cheese dish designed to bring us lots of joy at the table. They call it Cheese Baker , and apart from being able to store Brie or Camembert cheeses in it once you have opened them, what is really rewarding is using it to cook your cheeses. Yes, cooking them, so that you get delicious melted and seasoned cheeses at the perfect point to dip or enjoy with a little bread.

There are spoon dishes that are magical, dishes that take you back to childhood and to meals at grandma's house. This Canarian ranch that I bring you today is one of them, a simple spoon dish and, although the best known is prepared with meat, I am passionate about the version with octopus. It is a typical preparation of the Canary Islands, a truly delicious humble dish.

The Vitalis pot is today one of the most popular pots for steam cooking. Its success lies in the versatility of the uses of the pot on the one hand, and on the other hand, being made of stainless steel, it is a pot that will last us a lifetime in the kitchen.

We love fresh salmon at home and our latest discovery is these salmon tacos in oriental sauce. To prepare it we use a wok and in a very short time we have it on the table.

Who does not like croquettes. Those of the grandmother, those of his mother or those of the neighbor. But how should a good croquette be? Crispy on the outside and smooth and creamy on the inside; There are many fillings but the Serrano Ham croquettes are a classic. This is one of those foolproof recipes that will work wonders for you.

These days we are juggling to vary our recipes with what we may have at home. That is why I bring you a spoon dish, which without pretensions or complications ends up being a very tasty stew.

If you think that some lentils with vegetables are a want and I can't, you are very wrong. Especially if those lentils are beluga or caviar, the amount of vegetables is considerable and the container in which we cook them is our Cocotte Every. Small but bulky. With all this we marked some stewed beluga lentils with carrot and pumpkin full of flavor.

Today we have Julio, chef and Galician, to bring us the authentic Galician-style octopus recipe in a pressure cooker (or octopus á feira , as they say in Galicia). Nothing better than him to tell us how to make the traditional recipe!

The combination of potato and cheese is always welcome at home. In mine and, surely, in that of most of you. They are a very welcome marriage, especially when this potato and raclette cheese cake is prepared with them. Can you imagine how the creature is?

A few days ago we incorporated a few of the most practical utensils from a well-known brand in Switzerland, the Betty Bossi brand. One of our favorites is the slicer, a tool with which you can make long and wide slices of all kinds of vegetables. What can we do with it? From all-vegetable lasagnes (what about replacing the pasta sheets with courgette or potato slices?), to gutters, original garnishes for our salads... Or potato or courgette roses like the ones we bring today!

One of the great advantages of the new WMF multi-function cooker is that in a single device you can do different types of cooking, from pressure cooking as in a pressure cooker to steaming, sautéing, browning, slow cooking... The idea of ​​today's recipe is to make use of this multi-functionality.

This coming February 2nd is International Crepe Day, and what better way than to celebrate it by making a fabulous crepe for the family? Making crepes is one of the easiest things in the kitchen, and you can make them in any combination you like best. Now, I encourage you to prepare them with one of the fillings for crepes that I like the most: cheese, mushroom and cauliflower crepes.
