They say the classics never die, and it's certainly true: this easy apple and mixed berries tart is a very quick recipe to make, light and absolutely delicious. But do you know the most interesting thing about shortcrust tarts like the one we have today? That you can make it all year round with whatever fruits you fancy (fresh or frozen) and it always turns out well.

I only had to see a very fluffy sponge cake whose ingredients listed almond flour and lemon to think it had to be delicious — with how much we love tarta de Santiago at home, that cake promised it would undoubtedly remind me of it, but with a more cake-like crumb. And so it was — it was a hit with our friends!

As delicious as they are spooky, these finger-shaped cookies are terrifyingly perfect for Halloween. If you can get past the initial creepiness and dare to take a bite, you won't be able to stop eating them, from the nails to the last crumb! This Halloween almond finger recipe, which could easily belong to any sinister witch, is going to frighten you!

Today we're making an upside-down pineapple pudding, a tropical flavor that makes a wonderful finish to any Sunday meal. You can make it with fresh pineapple or pineapple in syrup, which makes it an ideal recipe to take care of any commitment.

There are a thousand ways to make plum cake, but in this recipe I give you one of the best I've tried, for its combination of ease, lightness, flavor, and the fact that you can make it with ingredients you usually have at home.

Easy and very quick to make, roasted pineapple with cinnamon becomes a Sunday dessert because of its exoticism and color, but I assure you it's a recipe to consider making any day of the week, as a dessert or for breakfast in the morning.

Baking cookies is child's play, and these delicious almond and orange cookies are proof of that: with very little and in very little time you'll be enjoying some delicious cookies. If you serve them with or dip them in chocolate, the combination will be even tastier. Claudia's word.

There are recipes that are delicious in their traditional form, and there are recipes that win over every corner of the world for being simple, quick, and tasty. This is the case with tiramisu, an Italian dessert that has been reinvented endlessly and that we give a new twist to today with this lemon version, which is wonderfully refreshing and tempting (if possible).

One of the most rewarding things we can make at home during the summer is ice cream. I'm fascinated by all of them... And even more so when they're homemade. Today we'll look at how to make an Eton Mess Ice Cream that, I assure you, will surprise you greatly.

Today's recipe is a tart that tastes and smells like summer, like picnic afternoons and dinners on the terrace. With very Mediterranean hints that come from feta cheese, oregano, and black olives. A tart topped in the pure "pie" style that I'm sure you'll love and that, besides making it exactly as I indicate, you can vary to your liking in many different ways, inspired by the suggestions you'll find at the end.

Panna cotta is a delicious dessert that, as it is prepared today, meets a key requirement for hot days: it doesn’t need an oven to make. Typical of the Italian region of Piedmont, its name is not misleading. Panna cotta literally means cooked cream and that is how it’s made: liquid cream is heated with sugar, a gelling agent is added so it sets, and once chilled it has a consistency similar to flan.

The Cierva pastry is a typical preparation from the Murcia region, dated to the end of the 19th century (with legend included) on the coast of the Mar Menor. It is a somewhat peculiar recipe, as it combines in a single bite the savory flavor of the filling with the sweetness of the dough. It’s a quite striking contrast, especially for someone who didn't know it from childhood and comes across it so suddenly, since the sweet/salty contrasts are very pronounced.
