Can you think of a better plan for a Friday night than the classic "sofa and movie?" Only one for me: accompany it with a great dinner!! What are we going to do, I have a very developed greedy vein, hehehe. But you will not deny me that accompanying a good movie with a good dinner is a perfect plan! And if there is a dish that has crept into our favorites for these nights, it is the pulled pork tacos.

Back in World War II, two Canadian officers were staying at a hotel in the northeast of England, where they gave a recipe for a pudding to the owner of the hotel; and it makes sense what they tell us that its origin is not English but Canadian, since the dough is more similar to that of an American muffin than to that of a delicate English sponge cake. I'm talking about the delicious sticky toffee pudding.

You know that I really like sharing recipes from different parts of the world with you, it's something that drives me crazy. I think there is nothing better than getting to know a place through its gastronomy and traditions. When we travel, I would dare to say that I almost feel like going to markets, restaurants, shops, pastry shops... than visiting the place itself! LOL. It's something I really enjoy. Today we are not going very far, I want to share with you how to make and enjoy an incredible Mallorcan potato coca.

I am surprised when some people ask me how someone spends €200 to buy a cocotte. Yes, I confess, and today I somehow reveal myself.

Michirones are a super typical dish from the Spanish southeast. Both in the Campo de Cartagena, Huerta de Murcia, Vega Baja Alicante and Mazarrón areas, it is a dish that you can easily find in any of its bars, inns or restaurants.

You will not think that the pressure cooker is designed to steam vegetables only, right? Because very far from it, the pressure cooker allows you to make meats that are tender and wonderful in record time, it allows you to make stews with a fabulous amalgamation of flavors, you can make the healthiest steamed fish, you can make delicious biscuits ( yes, in a steamer pot some great biscuits come out!) and you can also make delicious flans like the one we bring you today, the coconut flan recipe. Among many other things, of course.

Coca de forner or baker is a flat and elongated bread very typical in Catalonia that was originally prepared with unenriched bread dough, painted with olive oil, garnished with pine nuts and sugar on top and sprinkled with anise when it came out. from the oven. Simple and very effective.

I make these chocolate filled shortbread cookies at home every week. I stopped buying the ones from the supermarket when I found out that industrial cookies were not entirely healthy, and even more so those filled with cocoa cream.

Do you know that homemade cookies can last even a month in perfect condition if you keep them well? That as long as you don't get distracted and the little ones (or some older child in the house... Ehem!) don't play the little mouse and eat them first.

Baking cookies is one of my favorite pleasures. It is easy and it is also fast, since both the dough requires very little mixing and the baking takes little time (about 15 minutes). The kids also enjoy it, you make sure you eat quality ingredients and, if you make them in quantity, you have reservations for days.

Today I am going to tell you how to make wonderful homemade vanilla-flavored custard that doesn't taste like eggs. As soon as you make them at home, they will become one of your go-to recipes, since they have nothing to do with those you buy in supermarkets.

Let's see, let me find out... Who said that to eat well you had to spend a lot of time in the kitchen? Well, of course, whoever did it is because he had never tried this pork tenderloin with orange glaze.

Brioche is a light, soft bread enriched with butter. It is a French classic. This recipe has a delicious chocolate praline filling with a decoration of chocolate and chopped hazelnuts. A delicious sweet to serve with a good coffee at any time.
