As soon as the afternoons get shorter, I really feel like making recipes that require turning on the oven. One example is this winter galette, which hides a wonderful filling of roasted pumpkin and feta cheese and has a distinctly Mediterranean aroma, thanks to the thyme and oregano used to season it.

The savory tart I'm bringing you today seems like a great option for casual dinners at home, or to take when we're guests, even for a picnic! I can assure you I really feel like making it on a Saturday night, letting it cool until Sunday morning, and enjoying it as a leisurely, luxurious family breakfast.

If there's one thing about cooking, it's the large number of recipes that can be reimagined. A good example is this cherry tomato and cheddar Tatin tart, a savory adaptation of one of the most iconic apple tarts of French patisserie and, without doubt, one of its happiest mistakes. The result of this recipe, in which the Tatin tart changes register, is clearly a high pass—very high!—because I promise you it's incredible.

Whether you love spicy food or it's not your thing, today I'm going to tempt you with this delight in the form of cheddar and chili rolls, tender and warm they go down wonderfully. These slightly spicy cheese buns are the perfect excuse to gather everyone at home around the table. And if you prefer them without the spicy touch, you can omit the chili with complete peace of mind.

Today I bring a recipe that will make you look good no matter what: a classic fish pie, with a filling mainly of cod, prawns, tuna and onion, and covered with a puff pastry that gives it a beautiful rustic look while rounding out each bite when eaten with the filling.

The carrot and honey Tarte Tatin is one of those recipes you fall in love with for how simple it is and how spectacular it turns out. It's a different take on the classic French caramelized apple tart, but here the carrots become the main stars. Caramelized with honey and sugar and topped with a crisp puff pastry base, they create a sweet-and-salty combination that surprises and delights.

These vegetable and brie tartlets are one of those little pleasures I always have on hand, whether for a quick family dinner or when I want to impress with a simple but delicious appetizer. The recipe combines the fresh flavor of garlic-sautéed vegetables with the creamy touch of brie, creating an irresistible mix. And don't forget to add honey when serving! It's the contrast that completes the dish, trust me.

This may be the first time you've seen a savory strudel, but they come in a thousand and one flavors. Today I bring you an irresistible classic: how to make a delicious ham and cheese strudel, to which I add a little touch of garlic. We love it at home!

Today I bring you a savory tart that's all color and flavor. If the Caprese salad dressed up for a party, it would be very similar to this cherry tomato and burrata tart. With its colorful, aromatic and tasty filling, it's a recipe that feels very summery to me and is perfect for eating at home or sharing on an outdoor picnic.

This Easter, I invite you to join us in preparing a recipe that brings the spirit of spring straight to our table: the French recipe for Pâté de Pâques (Easter pâté). This dish, rooted in the heart of the Loire Valley in France, is more than a simple meal; it is a symbol of celebration, combining the delicacy of pâté and the tradition of Easter eggs in a perfect harmony of flavors and textures.

Which appetizer will you like best? I think that among these canapé and little toast options we bring you today, you won't know which to choose... Because they're all delicious appetizers! Plus, making them takes very little time but they'll make a wonderful impression at your special lunches and dinners. Check out the appetizers we bring you! I hope you find them inspiring. Let's go for them!

Back to the cold, back to the oven! I think it's a wonderful ally in the kitchen, because it lets me stop worrying about watching the stove and the result is always fantastic. And this onion tart is good proof of that — you'll see why in a moment!
