Valentine's Day is very close and if there is something beautiful about that day, it is being able to share. What more romantic than sharing a moment of peace, good conversation, tender looks and good food? That is why we bring you some ideas to make that day a special day, free from too much work (we want to enjoy it, not lock ourselves in the kitchen!) and full of rich flavors. Happy February 14!

If there is an ideal day to prepare a sweet recipe, it is Valentine's Day: Sharing a delicious dessert is the most romantic! As it is a day to enjoy, and not to spend it locked up in the kitchen, the proposal that Lola (from the Loleta blog) brings us is as easy and quick to prepare as it is attractive: strawberry clafoutis recipe, you will love it!

What a delicious bundt cake Leti brings us today, from Revealing Flavors! It is a traditional recipe for orange cake, which is prepared in the beautiful Kugelhopf mold from Nordic Ware. It will surely be a success at home, because there is a reason why the classics never die!

The recipe that Miriam (The winter guest) brings us is one of those that we love: a very traditional pate de campagne, which you will enjoy in a big way simply accompanying it with good bread. Bon appetite!

Luisa Morón (Cooking with my Carmela) brings us a classic that you will love for its simplicity and at the same time intensity of flavor. This is the pork curry recipe (which you can also prepare with beef), a great proposal for both day-to-day and more festive days.

French tradition says that crêpes should be prepared on February 2nd. They can be sweet or savory, but when making them you must turn the crêpes with one hand, while holding 2 coins with the other. Those two coins will be wrapped in the crêpe and kept like that for a whole year, and the following year those coins will be given to the poor.

Today's recipe is brought to us by Juana, author of La Cocina de Babel. It is a typical Italian recipe that many of you have heard of, the recipe for veal ossobuco alla milanese, or as a good Italian would say "Ossobuco alla milanese". If you like meat, you will love this recipe!

If you like pastries without complications, today's recipe is ideal. These are coconut and cocoa mug cakes (a winning combination!) that Beatriz, author of To Be Gourmet, has prepared in a traditional way: mixing the ingredients in a bowl and cooking the mug cakes in the oven. I encourage you to try them, the result is a delicious cake and a most original presentation.

Grills are an essential tool when it comes to light cooking, but they also allow you to cook many more recipes than you can imagine a priori. Today I bring you 3 great recipes, which can be a first, second course and desserts, to inspire you in their possibilities. To enjoy!

Eva, author ofBake-Street , brings us a cake that you can prepare both as a first course and as a dessert. It is a salty cucumber and coriander cake, with a cocoa base that goes to the finger! It tells you in detail how to make it. You will be surprised!

We are in the middle of winter and Raquel (author of Los Tragaldabas ) brings us a panade soup with tomato, a spoon dish full of flavor that you will surely appreciate at home. It's time to warm up with this 100% natural recipe!

Roasted potatoes have become very popular, since they are perfect to accompany all kinds of dishes (they are suitable for meat, fish and vegetables alike), they are tremendously easy to prepare, and they are delicious!
