I don't know if it happens to you too, but now that we enjoy better temperatures, the fruit ripens faster than when it's not so hot. If I don't eat it in a few days, there are always some pieces that break.

This technique has been used for a long time in many ingredients so that they do not spoil and last longer. It is a culinary practice in which food is exposed to the smoke that is released from a fire formed with wood that has little resin. Today smoked foods are the star of many recipes because of their flavor and not because they are foods that must be preserved.

Far from just making homemade yogurt, in the yogurt maker you can prepare countless desserts (why else would they call it Multidelicias Yogurt Maker ?), from custards and creams to puddings, flans, fresh cheese or even biscuits. After all, an electric yoghurt maker is a steam cooking device.

Are titanium pans safe for health? Are the diamond ones better? Many customers call us looking for Teflon-free nonstick pans because they are concerned about the effects of Teflon on their family's health. Some customers ask us for titanium or diamond pans since they understand that they do not have Teflon (we can think that their coating is made of titanium, diamond or in some cases granite or stone).

Surely many of you have cooked quiches. A quiche is a savory tart from French cuisine. The original recipe was born in the Lorraine region, in northwestern France. Hence its name: 'Quiche Lorraine'.

Crème Brûlée, Trinity Cream, burnt milk, burnt cream or Catalan cream, this creamy dessert is one that I love to prepare. It brings back great memories of when I was little.

I feel a certain weakness for getting new flavors and experiencing different sensations every time I cook a recipe. If these dishes are cooked in a special way, my satisfaction is complete.

As many of you know, I am a true fan of the Le Creuset brand and its cast iron pans. They are an icon of French cuisine. Cast iron is a material that was already used in Roman times to make kitchen utensils; and still today, with all the materials we have at our disposal, there is no other material as versatile, with such good appearance and with better heat retention.

Yesterday we had our friend and great cook Stéphane Poussardin at We Love Cooking preparing some tasty and very easy to make "tapas" or appetizer recipes. I leave you a couple of recipes that were very successful, I hope you enjoy them.

As a true lover of traditional and healthy cuisine, a meat grinder cannot be missing from my kitchen. With this fantastic utensil I make meat for my stir-fries, meatballs, meat pies, pie filling, sausages, steak tartares and hamburgers.

Who has not enjoyed a delicious Tarte Tatin ? It is a variant of apple pie, in which the apples have been caramelized before incorporating the dough. The most peculiar thing is that it is a cake that is prepared upside down: the apples are placed underneath and covered with the dough.

Last week our friend Stéphane Poussardin was in our demonstration space, We Love Cooking, preparing some delicious recipes with De Buyer's Mineral B iron pans. Today I want to bring you one of the ones that I liked the most because of how easy and original it is. I hope you like it :)
