In the cold months, you want spoon dishes that help us warm up. Today Luisa, from Cocinando con mi Carmela, brings us an ideal stew for these dates, very tasty and with a winning combination, chickpeas with prawns. To enjoy!

Today we present a dish that is as forceful as it is daring, tasty and surprising. It is brought to us by Eva, author of Bake-Street, who prepares us a Duck Pie (or duck cake) in a black sesame dough that will serve you for so many other cakes.
The duck pie is a cake with a unique flavor, also different since we are not used to eating duck on a daily basis. This recipe has all the characteristics to make it an ideal recipe for family gatherings!

The Le Creuset skillet pan is a 100% iron pan, which can go both on the stove and in the oven. Patricia, author of Sabores&Momentos, shows us today with this very easy recipe to prepare, using only the oven, and with a fabulous presentation in the skillet.

Many of you are already familiar with De Buyer iron pans. They are pans that, as we have always said, will last you a lifetime, being at a more than reasonable price. The quality of these pans is appreciated just by holding them, appreciating their weight and the thickness of the iron plate with which it has been formed; In addition, its long handle makes it comfortable to work with in the kitchen and its beeswax finish gives it a natural protection that is also valued.

As many of you know, a couple of months ago we opened our new offices. Here, a carpenter we knew worked wood as it has always been done. This workshop, where we now have our offices, still conveys what it had meant and gives me the feeling that it largely inspires what we do, it helps us convey this sense of craftsmanship, that we like the traditional, and that we put love in what we do as affection the carpenter put when treating the wood.

As you know, a few weeks ago we launched the Pantry section . It is a section that I am particularly excited about, as we have put a lot of care into the selection of products and suppliers. I think we have a good variety of ingredients that can be very useful to give a different touch to everyday life or to save for a special occasion.

Preparing souflé (soufflé, as Miriam says) is an ideal option when you have guests... and now dates are approaching in which, who more who less, will have some commitment! Preparing it is within everyone's reach, but certain guidelines must be followed to make it look good. So I leave you with the advice of the author of The winter guest , and with this delicious soufflé of cheese and herbs.

Seasons of celebration with family and friends are approaching, and for this reason recipes like the one that Carmen brings us today, from Yerbabuena in the kitchen -a traditional recipe, which without great complications is ideal for any situation.

Joy takes over me when December arrives. Christmas is approaching, a date that I love: thinking about family meals, those meals that sometimes end up as dinners, and also seeing the illusion of the children when they wake up and run to look next to the tree.

We are already beginning to smell Christmas, and many of us cannot imagine it without those family meals full of delicious dishes and joyful conversations. Cannelloni are an almost obligatory dish in many homes, so today Carolina, author of La Cocina de Carolina , makes our mouths water with some meat ones with a very special touch. Surely you want to take note, because he makes an adaptation of the traditional meat cannelloni that you will love !

These cakes that Miriam, author of The Winter Guest , brings us today, will enchant you with their tasty combination and how easy they are to prepare. In addition, you can do them both in mini format as they are presented here, as well as in a single large font. Do not miss it!

The other day I was telling you about what utensils are  the basics and essentials when it comes to equipping a kitchen, and which are also basics to take into account when it comes to renewing the utensils that one has. You can see the post here .
