We love pasta at home, so when I saw this recipe for conchiglioni stuffed with prawns and ricotta, I didn’t hesitate to make it. The result was a real success – something I had no doubt about even before trying it. The filling in these conchiglioni is delicious, the accompanying béchamel sauce pairs perfectly, and the gratin turns this pasta dish into a true celebration.

When the heat arrives, nothing is more tempting than homemade ice cream and sorbet recipes. And this lime sorbet is one you’ll make again and again: it’s refreshing, very easy to prepare, and has that citrusy touch that feels so pleasant in summer. Best of all, it’s made with just a few ingredients and in very little time.

This recipe for grilled turbot with fennel and lemon is the perfect example of “less is more”. Both in terms of the number of ingredients and the simplicity of the preparation. It’s the perfect excuse to take advantage of your ceramic frying pan and to enjoy an extraordinary white fish. A dish with Mediterranean aroma and flavour, where the turbot takes centre stage.

Yes, I know it’s summer and it’s hot. I also know that just thinking about turning the oven on makes you want to fan yourself, but I assure you that when you try this onion and roasted garlic focaccia, you’ll forget all about the 250º C it needs to bake—because you’ll want to make it again at the earliest opportunity. That’s why I wanted to share this recipe today, even though we’re in the middle of a heatwave.

When I discovered this recipe, I knew everyone at home would be excited. From selecting the ingredients to the very last bite, we’ve all enjoyed it like little kids. I think it’s a fantastic option to prepare and savour with the family, whether cooked in the home kitchen or on the campsite barbecue. I promise you, this spiral butifarra on the grill is amazing. You really have to try it!

Today I bring you a perfect starter for a terrace dinner, sure to amaze anyone lucky enough to try it. This smoked salmon and crab roll has an incredible taste of sea and summer – a delicious, refreshing bite that feels wonderful. Pair it with a glass of this Mimosa cocktail, and success is guaranteed.

One of the things I find most fascinating about pasta is the huge range of possibilities it offers. I believe there’s no ingredient that can’t be combined in some way with a type of pasta – even white chocolate! But today I’m going for something more traditional, both in the pasta and the sauce: a dish of penne all’arrabbiata that tastes wonderful, even in the heat.

Today I invite you to prepare a recipe I love: a stew of chicken with corn and creamy sauce. I find it a truly delicious way to cook chicken breasts. They turn out fantastic and have an incredibly appetising flavour. Corn is a luxurious companion to the chicken and, along with the chilli slices and lime juice, it adds a touch of Mexican flavour—ideal for rounding off the dish.

If cooking is an act of love, then making desserts like this strawberry cake with crème brûlée or burnt cream topping is undoubtedly the sweetest expression of that love.

If you've never tried beetroot soup, this recipe will win you over. Roasting it in the oven enhances its sweet and earthy flavour, and when combined with the creaminess of coconut milk and the spiced touch of ginger, the result is simply spectacular. This roasted beetroot soup is comforting, with a perfect balance of sweetness, freshness, and that little spicy kick that makes it special.
