We always love seeing ideas for family celebrations —even more so now that Three Kings' Day is near!— Loreto, author of Sabores de Colores, brings us an ideal recipe: a pork loin with a spectacular sauce.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

As many of you know, a couple of months ago we opened our new offices. Here, a carpenter we knew worked the wood as it has always been done. This workshop, where we now have the offices, still conveys what it once meant and gives me the feeling that it largely inspires what we do, helping us convey this sense of craftsmanship — that we appreciate the traditional, and that we put care into what we do in the same way the carpenter put care into working the wood.

Original ingredients for Christmas celebrations

As you know, a few weeks ago we opened the Pantry. It’s a section I’m particularly excited about, because we put a lot of care into selecting the products and suppliers. I think we have a good variety of ingredients that can be great for adding a different touch to everyday life or for saving for a special occasion.

I am filled with joy when December arrives. Christmas is approaching, a time of year I love: thinking about family meals, those meals that sometimes end up as dinners, and also seeing the excitement of children when they wake up and run to look beside the tree.

Mixed Escudella

The recipe I bring you today should become a staple in your kitchen this winter. For me, it's one of the best ways to eat soup, since all the ingredients are cut into small pieces and you can eat the meats, vegetables, pasta and legumes in one bite, all mixed together (hence its name, since barrejada means "mixed" in Catalan).

Many times customers call or write to us who want to equip a kitchen or want to renew their utensils gradually, but don't know where to start. There really is such a variety and specialization of theutensils necessary for a kitchen, that sometimes it can be a difficult task to decide what is a priority and also what is essential.

Those of you who follow us regularly already know that we like traditional cooking, the slow-simmering kind, making doughs at home and doing things with care. Maybe that’s why we have always felt very close to Julia Child’s cooking. Today it’s Laura, from the blog Because, who tells us about her best-known work, the book The Art of French Cooking.
