Back to the cold, Back to the oven! I find it to be a wonderful ally in the kitchen, because it allows me to not worry about tending to the stove and the result is always fantastic. And this onion cake is good proof of this, you will immediately see why!

When the cold weather arrives, nothing better than a comforting cream to go into the cocotte. This time, with our classic mushroom cream recipe, which we prepare in the iron cocotte. The heady aroma of mushrooms sautéing in the kitchen evokes a feeling of warmth and familiarity, like a hug in the form of flavor. The process is a delight for the senses, from the soft crackling as they cook to the irresistible aroma that gradually unfolds.

This Italian-style mushroom risotto is a dish that is desired at any time of the year, but especially in autumn. I'm sure you'll like it so much that you'll want to enjoy it again and again. An exquisite recipe that combines the creaminess of risotto with the forest flavor of mushrooms and the always special touch that Parmesan cheese provides.

If something makes a traditional holiday in my house it is to bring to the table some wafers or stuffed "neulas", as we always call them at home. We love them! They are never lacking on the Christmas and Easter table, and we take them out after dessert, along with nougats or tea cakes, at coffee time. They're a perfect sweet bite to end the meal, AND they're so easy to make at home!

Stuffed rolls are a great option to offer a complete and visual dish Today, these mini-rolls are stuffed with lamb meat, pine nuts, raisins and spices, an exquisite recipe that you can make very easily.

I bring you a very traditional braided bread in countries like the Czech Republic or Slovakia. Its name is vianočka and it is a soft sweet bread with a delicious touch of vanilla. Its name comes from the word vianoce, which means Christmas, and the braid originally represented baby Jesus wrapped in his blanket. But today it is not only done at Christmas, but is enjoyed throughout the year.

There are recipes that are incredibly simple to carry out and that, in addition, leave us with surprising results. Like these Millionaire's Shortbread bars.

It's a winning combination, whichever way you look at it. It is a bar with three phases: butter biscuit, toffee cream and dark chocolate coating... Impossible to say no to this temptation.

For passionate cooks and appreciative diners, there is nothing more expected on these dates than having on the table any dish that smells, tastes or transmits Christmas. Traditional stews are received with joy every year, because they are part of those moments that remain etched in our memory. But new recipes are also expected to delight your guests, and this Basil Pesto Stuffed Christmas Tree will do the trick.

Few snacks are as quick and elegant as these chocolate-covered hazelnuts, or hazelnut bites, as we call them at home.

I bring you two recipes with dates that are as beautiful as they are surprising. One is a most elegant appetizer and with which you will look fabulous when you present it at the Sunday table. The second proposal is a dessert or snack to finish the meal, with which you are looking for a smooth combination of flavors and play with textures.

We bring you the star recipe of Christmas, the Wellington sirloin, but in a different and most exquisite version of fish: Wellington-style salmon stuffed and wrapped in filo pastry is a recipe as delicious as it is elegant. You may have heard of this recipe as "Salmon en crôute" (crusted salmon), a salmon wrapped in phyllo dough or puff pastry.

If you are a fan of peanut flavor and Christmas cookies, you will love this recipe for peanut butter cookies (or what is the same, the popular Peanut Butter Cookies).
