Summer brings us one of the most wonderful fruits there is, cherries. Before its season ends, I wanted to bring you this recipe that is so successful wherever it goes, an easy cherry pie recipe, although with a touch that you will love.

In summer we don't feel like cooking so much and spending hours in front of the stove, but we can't live on salads alone. Savory tarts are a good solution to serve at a summer dinner. It is true that we tend to resort to wheat flour as a base for our cakes, but there are actually other good, healthy options that are a little different from the usual ones.

Today I bring you a recipe that I have always loved, the apple cookie. The biscuit is a mix between cake and tart. It never ceases to amaze me how something so simple and so delicious can enter so much by sight. To make the cookie a more curious point, we give it a soft and different touch thanks to the flavor of almonds, ginger and honey.

Now yes, the heat has arrived at least in this part of our country in the Mediterranean, finally!!!! What need of sun and warmer temperatures are we this year, right? Well, to celebrate, today picnic in the garden with some amazing Blueberry Banana Muffins!

The Easter cake is a cake from Italy and is prepared during Easter to celebrate spring. It is ideal to take it to a picnic or outdoor meals. It is made up of puff pastry and a tasty filling, typical of the Ligurian culinary tradition, based on spinach, ricotta and eggs that are revealed when the first slice is cut.

The prospect of a good homemade cheesecake is always synonymous with parties and celebrations at home, a favorite in practically any of its formats and varieties. And to the greater satisfaction of the staff (this one who writes included), the latest and happy discovery has been the acclaimed Japanese cheesecake , cotton cheesecake (in English) or Japanese soufflé (as it is known precisely in Japan).

The monkey bread recipe (or monkey bread, as we know it here) is pure vice. A caramelized and cinnamon-flavored sponge cake built with patience and love ball by ball. Without a doubt, it is worth it, especially following the wise instructions of Virginia, author of Sweet&Sour, who here leaves you the recipe.

Patry, author of Flavors and Moments, brings us the traditional carrot and raisin cake in a mini version and in a cake version: she turns the mini-carrot cakes into a multi-tier cake covered with cream cheese and coconut. A tender and delicious cake, with which you will surely succeed if you give it that beautiful finish.

Carmen, author of Tia Alia, brings us a savory tart that is as delicious as it is colorful: the recipe for zucchini tart with ricotta and goat cheese. A great combination in a very easy recipe to prepare and that you will enjoy a lot at home!

Lola, author of Loleta, Food Life & Market, brings us a recipe that, if you don't watch, will become a vice at home. This is the traditional banofee recipe, with a biscuit base and a heart of banana, caramel and cream. I know, if you think of summer it's not the most appropriate thing but, wow, summer is still a long way off and one day is one day!

The mascarpone brioche recipe is, without a doubt, the most popular recipe that has been during these months in our closed Facebook group (if you are not in it and you like cooking, I strongly encourage you to enter and enjoy!) . That's why I asked Beatriz, author of To Be Gourmet, if she could bring us the recipe to the blog, and she also does it through the front door, debuting the beautiful new Emile Henry mold to make bread, the crown mold. Success is assured!

Get ready, because you are going to prepare churros at home! Yes, we have recently incorporated a great churrera and Miriam (author of The Winter Guest) brings us the classic recipe for churros to make them perfect at home.
