As the afternoons grow shorter, I find myself longing to turn on the oven and bake comforting recipes. One such example is this winter galette, filled with a delicious mixture of roasted pumpkin and feta cheese, and infused with a wonderfully Mediterranean aroma thanks to thyme and oregano.

The savoury tart I'm sharing with you today seems like a fantastic idea for casual dinners at home, for taking along when visiting friends — or even for a picnic! I honestly love the idea of making it on a Saturday evening, letting it cool overnight, and enjoying it on Sunday morning during a luxurious, unhurried family breakfast.

If there’s one thing that defines cooking, it’s the endless number of recipes that can be adapted. A great example is this cherry tomato and cheddar Tarte Tatin – a savoury twist on one of the most iconic apple tarts in French patisserie and, without doubt, one of its happiest accidents. The result of this recipe, where the Tarte Tatin takes a different turn, is a clear success with top marks – very top marks! – because I promise you: it’s absolutely amazing.

Whether you’re a fan of spicy food or not, today I’m going to tempt you with this delight: tender and warm cheddar and chilli buns that are absolutely irresistible. These cheesy buns with a spicy kick are the perfect excuse to gather everyone at home around the table. And if you prefer them without the spicy touch, you can simply leave out the chilli without any problem.

Today, I bring you a recipe that is sure to impress: a classic fish pie with a filling of cod, prawns, tuna, and onion, all wrapped in puff pastry that not only gives it a beautiful rustic look but also rounds out each bite perfectly.

Carrot and honey tarte Tatin is one of those recipes that you fall in love with because of how simple it is and how spectacular it is. It is a different version of the classic French caramelized apples, but here the carrots become the main protagonists. Caramelized with honey and sugar, and covered with a crunchy puff pastry base, they create a combination of sweet and salty that surprises and delights.

These vegetable and brie tartlets are one of those little pleasures that 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 vegetables sautéed with garlic and the creamy touch of brie, creating an irresistible combination. And don't forget to add honey when serving! It's the contrast that rounds out the dish, trust me.

Maybe this is the first time you've seen a savory strudel, but there are a thousand and one flavors. Today I bring you an irresistible basic recipe, how to prepare a delicious ham and cheese strudel, to which I add a touch of garlic. We love it at home!

Today I bring you a savory pie that is all about color and flavor. If caprese salad were dressed for a party, it would be very similar to this cherry tomato and burrata pie. With its colorful, aromatic and tasty filling, it is a recipe that seems very summery to me and is perfect for eating at home or sharing at an outdoor picnic.

This Easter, I invite you to join us in preparing a recipe that brings the spirit of spring directly to our table: the French recipe for Pâté de Pâques (Easter Pâté). This dish, with roots in the heart of France's Loire Valley, is more than just a meal; It is a symbol of celebration, uniting the delicacy of pâté and the tradition of Easter eggs in a perfect harmony of flavors and textures.

Which appetizer will you like the most? I think that among these options of canapes and toasts that we bring you today, you won't know which one to decide on... Because they are all delicious appetizers! In addition, making them takes very little time but you will look wonderfully well at engagement lunches and dinners. Look at the appetizers we bring you! I hope you find them inspiring. Let's go get them!

Back to the cold, Back to the oven! I find it to be a wonderful ally in the kitchen, because it allows me to not worry about tending to the stove and the result is always fantastic. And this onion cake is good proof of this, you will immediately see why!
