Claudia&Julia's blog

I like to make traditional desserts, desserts with a history like these traditional frisuelos that are made in Asturias and whose recipe has been passed down from father to son over and over again.

When Claudia suggested that I prepare a recipe with the Ilsa flan trays, I immediately replied that I wanted to make my tocinillos de cielo. They are such an exquisite and delicate snack that I wanted to show you how to make them at home. And it is that, whenever I serve them in a meeting, they triumph.

If in my last recipe we traveled to the United Kingdom today we continue there. I couldn't resist presenting you the Scones recipe. Yes, surely you know them, they are those round rolls originally from Scotland, rolls with which the famous tea time is usually accompanied.

The simplest recipes are usually the ones that we repeat the most. Today I bring you one of them, a simple and very healthy recipe, but absolutely delicious. A steamed sea bream flavored with lemon, rosemary and pink pepper, which will make you banish forever the idea that steamed fish is boring. The meat is terribly juicy and smooth, and also the flavors are enhanced thanks to the fact that the sea bream is cooked in its own juices. The touch of lemon and rosemary, together with the pink pepper, give it a fresh touch and a surprising counterpoint to the palate of this recipe.

For years I lived in ignorance thinking that Manchego ratatouille was the only existing ratatouille in Spanish gastronomy, but how confused I was! Today's recipe is one of the variants that derives from the original ratatouille made only with tomato and green pepper, which is the father of all ratatouille. But it is not the only one, although we are not going to go into the matter because the one that interests us is this, the recipe for ratatouille from Rioja.

I'm not going to deceive you. Today I do not bring a quick recipe. Of course, it is not a difficult recipe either, but it is a bit entertaining. Of course, it is also absolutely delicious, and as soon as you taste the first bite of these stuffed squid with onions, you will forget all the time you could have spent preparing them and you will only be left with how delicious they are, I promise!

Surely the first thing you will ask yourself is: And where is the fruit? I also asked myself the first time I saw this dessert. A cobbler is a dessert with a caramelized fruit base topped with a layer of cookie dough or baked shortcrust pastry. This dessert has nothing to do with the classic cobbler, but that's what they call it.

This Stroganoff or Stroganoff is one of my favorite dishes. There is no single recipe and each one usually gives it a different touch. We are talking about a Russian stew that is basically made with beef, mushrooms or mushrooms and onion in a cream sauce (and here comes the difference), which is seasoned in different ways.

Do you want to surprise your children (or friends or yourself) with a special snack? Something sweet, but not too cloying? Something that is super easy and quick to do even on a weekday? Well, I think I have solved it for you.

Can you think of a better plan for a Friday night than the classic "sofa and movie?" Only one for me: accompany it with a great dinner!! What are we going to do, I have a very developed greedy vein, hehehe. But you will not deny me that accompanying a good movie with a good dinner is a perfect plan! And if there is a dish that has crept into our favorites for these nights, it is the pulled pork tacos.

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.

You know that I really like sharing recipes from different parts of the world with you, it's something that drives me crazy. I think there is nothing better than getting to know a place through its gastronomy and traditions. When we travel, I would dare to say that I almost feel like going to markets, restaurants, shops, pastry shops... than visiting the place itself! LOL. It's something I really enjoy. Today we are not going very far, I want to share with you how to make and enjoy an incredible Mallorcan potato coca.
