If meat and potatoes are known to be one of kids' favorite meals, the recipe for this Stainless steel skillet steak with crispy potatoes will, without a doubt, become everyone's favorite at home.

Let's give a twist to the traditional octopus with potatoes: today we transform the classic "Pulpo a feira" or "Pulpo a la gallega" and we're going to enjoy a delicious sautéed octopus with roasted potatoes, with a touch of paprika (of course!) and accompanied by red onion. A real temptation, isn't it?

Speculoos cookies have that charm only a traditional recipe can bring, steeped in history and with a spiced touch that evokes the holidays. Originating from Belgium and the Netherlands, these crunchy, flavorful cookies are made with a blend of spices that gives them an aroma as distinctive as it is irresistible.

This oil and lemon cake recipe is one of those that make you fall in love at first sight and that, when you taste it, steal a smile. It has that special, light and fluffy touch that makes it the perfect companion for an afternoon coffee or to show off at a family meal.

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.

You’ve probably heard of the technique of degreasing broths or sauces, and if you’re new to traditional cooking techniques you may wonder what degreasing is.

Degreasing is the culinary technique that removes this excess fat, improving both the flavor and the texture of your preparations.

The beef stew in red wine that I bring you today is a first-rate braise, a complete, well-rounded dish, one of those that fill your stomach and comfort your body — and your soul! There are many meat stews, with more or less difficulty in their preparation and with longer or shorter cooking times. Although on some occasions (few!) we may have all day to simmer slowly for hours, the truth is that this is not usually the case.

The Tajine is a dish that should always be brimming with irresistible flavors and aromas. It takes time and care to prepare, which is why I believe it is a symbol of generosity.

Today I'm bringing a double recipe! I hope this post helps you see how to make steamed cod in a steamer (we'll use our beloved Vitalis WMF pot!) and also how to cook steamed cod in a pressure cooker.

Can you smell it? That cinnamon-bread aroma fills the whole house and all my senses, which is why I couldn’t keep this recipe to myself! It’s a delightful bread! This cinnamon and raisin bread is very easy to make. It requires little kneading and I call it bread... although it would be just as fair to call it cake, since it sits somewhere between the two (it’s a bread that needs rising, but you won’t have to do a long kneading).
