Flan Parisino

Parisian Custard

I love making sweet preparations, whether they are cakes, desserts,... I like any of them, with fruit, with cream, with or without dough. But above all I like that they are not excessively sweet, that is, that you cannot enjoy all their nuances because the excess sugar covers them.

Pastel de chocolate con aceite de oliva y ganache de chocolate

Chocolate cake with olive oil and chocolate ganache

I discovered a long time ago that pure cocoa and oil work very well. I personally love biscuits made with butter, but the olive oil gives a unique flavor and texture to biscuits made with cocoa.

Cannelés, authentic French pastry recipe

These French cupcakes called Cannelés have always been one of my favorites. I bought them in San Juan de Luz, when we went to spend the day. Its origin is in the beautiful city of Bordeaux but it is common to find them in France.

Crema típica aranesa

Typical Aranese cream

I don't know if you know the typical Aranese cream from the Vall de Arán. It is a cream similar to crème brûlée or Catalan cream, but here vanilla essence is added instead of cinnamon and lemon. In some places I have also tried it with a touch of anise.

Christmas cake

christmas cake

Christmas cakes are to British Christmas as nougat is to Spanish. There is no house in which he is not present, for these things the English are the most traditional. It is a fairly forceful cake, made with dried fruits and nuts galore, which is usually soaked in liquor. And I say “usually” because there are those who refer to savoring fruits without them being masked by alcohol. I love the touch of alcohol in this cake, specifically the cognac one. I'm a drunk, what am I going to do.
Turrón de Red Velvet

Red Velvet Nougat

One of the things I like the most at Christmas is putting up the tree, it fascinates me. I enjoy it as much or more than when I was little. I must admit that I love this time of year for many reasons and, one of them, is the amount of wonderful sweets that accompany us during these dates. There is such a wide assortment that it is impossible for someone not to like at least one of them. Today we are going to focus on nougats, so versatile, wonderful and exquisite.

Pan de Calatrava

Calatrava bread

Related to the family of flans and puddings , Calatrava bread may be one of the easiest recipes to prepare and at the same time most appreciated. Its basic ingredients could not be more: milk, eggs and sugar, to which is added a part of pastries or bread (hence its name) as the main characteristic. Come on, a classic egg flan only with a prize. Doesn't look bad at all, does it?

Pannacotta de toffe

toffee panna cotta

We leave summer behind but there are still days when you feel like having cold desserts. I already have my bundt pans ready to bake this fall but I am also using them for other preparations such as this one today: a pannacotta, which is a dessert with a texture similar to flan, very silky and really delicious. There are different versions of pannacotta: from the simplest, with vanilla, to more sophisticated ones.

Tronco de tiramisú

tiramisu log

Don't you just love trunks like this? They are beautiful, elegant and very easy to portion, I like that, so there are no fights and each diner gets a portion as large or as small as they want. That later there is always someone who says I want less, I want more … you are like children.

Tarta helada al whisky

whiskey ice cream cake

You will forgive me, I know that nowadays there are plenty of wonderful frozen desserts to beat the heat. An immense range of flavours, textures, colours... But I am a romantic and, despite enjoying everything new and novel, I cannot do without the sweets of a lifetime. That is why this summer we cannot stop making this Frozen Whiskey Cake and dust off good childhood memories.

Pudin de dátiles con salsa de tofe

Date pudding with toffee sauce

Back in World War II, two Canadian officers were staying at a hotel in the northeast of England, where they gave a recipe for a pudding to the owner of the hotel; and it makes sense what they tell us that its origin is not English but Canadian, since the dough is more similar to that of an American muffin than to that of a delicate English sponge cake. I'm talking about the delicious sticky toffee pudding.
