You know how we like to use the cocotte. From preparing soups and creams to making rice, making a good and hearty bean stew or stew, preparing stews, cooking a thousand and one fish recipes or, of course, preparing meats a tutti pleni with very little effort. That's where we're going today!

Although it is difficult for the islands to arrive in autumn and almost that summer and “winter” come together, we do like to prepare dishes worthy of this season in which we are entering.

And it is that it is a season in which they already feel like those comforting stews in which to dip bread and also have the possibility of adding seasonal ingredients such as chestnuts or even mushrooms.

They came to Spain to stay, like many dishes that enrich world cuisine. Today I am talking about the, already known to all, kebabs. The kebabs without a surname are those skewers of meat or even fish that are cooked on a grilled skewer, always seasoned with many spices which, in my opinion, is what makes them special.

Today's recipe is one of the healthiest that we can get between chest and back. A steamed salmon with vegetables and teriyaki sauce that tastes like heaven and is prepared in a jiffy. All advantages for a great dish that we love and leaves us more than satisfied every time we prepare it.

Wrapping some tasty vegetable meatballs together with fresh vegetables and a delicious sauce is something I could never get tired of. Eating a wrap like this, with your fingers, is celebrating life and the senses. And here is the recipe for a good one. Roasted aubergines and mushrooms give an intense flavor to the balls (without being fried, in the non-stick frying pan from le Creuset they can be made with very little oil, without sticking).

Lebanese cuisine is an authentic delight, I really like preparing dishes based on this gastronomy and enjoying them with friends on summer nights.

For this reason and because I know that you love to surprise your guests, I propose some hamburgers in a mini version, which you already know are always a claim and if they are not the usual ones that we have in mind, they will always be a success. Therefore, today, I bring you mini falafel burgers.

At home my mother always made the hamburgers; he preferred to choose the meat and have it minced at the moment and then season it with garlic, parsley and onion. Those things are not forgotten and I have been unable to buy prepared hamburgers.

Cod is undoubtedly one of the most versatile fish. We can find it salty and already in almost all supermarkets also at its point of salt, which means that we can decide to eat cod almost immediately.

Today we are going to prepare it with white wine and tomato. We will use cherry tomatoes of different colors that give it a fresh and very appetizing appearance these days when the heat is on.

I love trying new recipes. At home they always reproach me for not making that milk bread with that tender crumb or that banana ice cream that turned out so delicious. Sometimes I try so many things that I forget to cook the everyday and simple.

They say about this hamburger that it is not a simple hamburger... It is the deluxe edition! Vegetarian burger, with marinated and grilled mushrooms. The truth is, if you're sick of the original version or just wanting to try a new recipe, this one is well worth it.

When spring arrives, we are going to take advantage of the cherries that we are beginning to see in the market. In this recipe, boneless lamb is stuffed full of flavor and served with a thick sauce with intense cherry and wine flavors. You'll love it!

Portuguese gastronomy has so many recipes with cod that we could prepare one every day of the year and not repeat it. This is one of the most popular inside and outside the neighboring country. At home, even the least fond of fish like it a lot, something that is appreciated. As well as the fact that it is a very simple dish to prepare and that it does not require strange ingredients or strange gadgets.
