Our guest today you know well. It's Miriam, The Winter Guest, who always appears with the most appetizing curiosity. This time she brings us a traditional chicken fricassée, a perfect recipe for family meals that, without much fuss, will delight both adults and children.

Fish suquet is a traditional dish, typical of fishing areas, since fishermen made it with the fish they had not been able to sell. Like almost all popular recipes, it is a dish that is simple to prepare, tasty and very nutritious, and a real delight when made with good fresh fish.

Our friend Laura, from the blog Because, doesn't want to miss the opportunity that autumn gives us to prepare a fine and exquisite mushroom recipe. Enjoy this delicious cream!

Fantastic collection, right? Even if only for a second, most of us thought that what Le Creuset is presenting this time is a new casserole. And it certainly looks like it. Le Creuset, once again, has hit the mark with this new collection of stainless steel cookware.

Often, when you think about buying a frying pan, you ask us: Which frying pan should I buy that works for everything and doesn't stick at all?

The problem, to be honest, is that that perfect frying pan doesn't exist.

Many of us already have a fondue at home. It has become an ideal gift, and it's a delight to own one. But it's also true that some have it stashed away and, honestly, I think that's a real shame! Fondue is a practical kitchen utensil — one with which you can sort out a lunch or dinner quickly — it's fun for diners, it's easy to prepare and to clean — important, right? — and also, from my experience, it encourages conversation and livens up meals, since it is, so to speak, a group activity, a dish to share that invites conversation.

This week Luisa Morón, from Cocinando con mi Carmela, brings us a recipe to show off in mini cocottes! It’s an easy-to-make and truly appetizing recipe that can be prepared for everyday meals or to shine as a starter at a family gathering.
