Chicken "en pepitoria" is a recipe you're sure to really enjoy at home. Pepitoria consists of cooking the meat enriched with hard‑boiled egg yolk and ground almonds. This combination is especially delicious when you also bathe the chicken with a bit of stock and wine and let it simmer away. It's a very easy recipe to follow, brought to us by Carmen (Yerbabuena en la cocina) just as her family tradition taught her. Enjoy!

French tradition says that on February 2nd crêpes should be prepared. They can be sweet or savory, but when making them the crêpes must be flipped with one hand while two coins are held in the other. Those two coins are wrapped in the crêpe and kept that way for an entire year, and the next year the coins are given to the poor.
