Who doesn't love a good roast chicken, with its potatoes and little vegetables? And if I tell you there's a utensil where it cooks all by itself and, on top of that, the oven doesn't get dirty… Well, what I'm telling you is, with the Emile Henry chicken roasting oven you can get a crispy, golden chicken that saves us from the dreaded grease all over the oven.

You already know how we love to make use of the casserole. From making soups and creams to cooking a rice dish, putting together a good, hearty fabada or stew, preparing braises, cooking countless fish recipes or, of course, cooking meats to the max with very little effort. That’s what we’re doing today!

Although it takes a while for autumn to arrive on the islands and summer almost merges with "winter" for us, we do like to prepare dishes worthy of the season we're entering.

It's a season when those comforting stews you want to dip bread into are appealing, and you also have the option to add seasonal ingredients like chestnuts or even mushrooms.

They arrived in Spain to stay, like countless dishes that enrich world cuisine. Today I’m talking to you about kebabs, already familiar to everyone. Plain kebabs are those skewers of meat or even fish that are cooked on a skewer over charcoal, always seasoned with many spices which, to my taste, are what make them special.

Anyone else here who lives on salads during the summer? And anyone else who by the end of July has run out of new ideas and ends up always eating the same salad? I admit that having a varied repertoire that suits the whole family isn’t always easy, so I try different salads and save the ones that are most liked at home to share with you. And, what can I tell you, this pickled chicken salad with mango, goat cheese and walnuts has been a huge hit!!

At home my mother always made the hamburgers; she preferred to choose the meat and have it ground on the spot and then season it with garlic, parsley, and onion. Those things are not forgotten and I have been unable to buy ready-made hamburgers.

With spring arriving, let’s make the most of the cherries that are starting to appear at the market. In this recipe, the boneless lamb has a flavorful stuffing and is served with a thick sauce with an intense cherry and wine flavor. You’ll love it!

This Strogonoff or Stroganoff is one of my favorite dishes. There is no single recipe and everyone usually adds their own touch. We're talking about a Russian stew that's basically made with beef, mushrooms or wild mushrooms and onion in a cream sauce (and here's where it differs), which is seasoned in different ways.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever tried  pulled pork, but if not, you need to do it as soon as possible. It’s simply pork marinated with barbecue sauce and spices and cooked at a low temperature for a long time, which makes the meat so tender that it can easily be shredded into strands. And if we then enjoy it in the form of a taco, the recipe becomes unforgettable!
