I don't know about you, but I can't think of a better combination than chocolate and walnuts. And if to this mix, which is already delicious, we add a good homemade pastry base, then we have... the best chocolate, walnut and shortcrust tart in the world!

With this chocolate and yolk bundt cake we declare the season of oven-baked treats and delicious cakes at home open. Bundts are something children are passionate about, because they marvel at their shape and silhouette, and they make a stunning impression if you're going to give one as a gift or have guests at home.

My son is an unconditional fan of macaroni and cheese, like almost all young people everywhere. My goal is always to get him to eat vegetables and more vegetables, the ones he seems increasingly unwilling to eat. That's why I come up with different versions of his favorite dishes using vegetables.

Pierogi are one of the most typical dishes of Polish cuisine. Basically, they consist of dough filled with various fillings. You could say they are quite similar to ravioli.

Cooking en papillote basically consists of cooking thanks to the steam and the juices retained in a wrapper that is applied to the food. It is a technique that works wonderfully on fish, vegetables and tender meats (such as poultry).

Don't you love easy, showy recipes that make us look like real cooking pros with very little effort? I do. I adore them. Any recipe with minimal effort and maximum wow factor goes straight into the stash to be tried. And if I like it, it gets added to my cookbook ipso facto. That's what the ruffle milk pie recipe is like, pastel de leche arrugado or galatopita. The latter is the original name of the creation, of Greek origin, and it's to die for.

I had never made cabello de ángel and I even thought I wasn't a big fan of this sweetish concoction. This recipe is a special request from Doña Claudia, whom I thank especially because a homemade cabello de ángel like this one as it's meant to be is something else, not even comparable to the industrial bayonesas fillings I've known since I was little.

I think this recipe can easily become one of the household favorites. It's a very tasty, economical recipe and also very easy to prepare. Also, chicken is usually liked by both children and adults and is truly delicious with this sausage-and-mushroom meat stuffing. A flavorful combination that is also a seasonal dish. It's time to make the most of autumn!

If you like soft, sweet buns, you'll love this chocolate brioche. The Emile Henry crown mold gives it a beautiful shape, perfect for serving at a celebration.

It's autumn, and it's the season for chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins; it seems like we’re starting to crave baking pies, tarts, cakes, and pastries with apples and pears. In a way we want to turn on the oven to fill our home with those intoxicating scents of butter, cinnamon, and sugar. If only we could keep that smell in a glass jar and open it every now and then!

At home, when the cooler season arrives stews are made more often, and it is the perfect time to recall the recipe for papas en amarillo. In my homeland this very typical dish is prepared, which is very simple, tasty and economical. It has it all! It is a dish, as I tell you, very flavorful, and also eye-catching because of its colors.

These butter cookies are made with our cookie press — what do you think? A churrera is very similar to a cookie press in its operation: a tube with a plunger that pushes the dough through a die. A little bit of force and not much mystery.
