Today I’ll show you how to make wonderful homemade vanilla-flavored custards that don’t taste like egg. Once you make them at home, they’ll become one of your go-to recipes, since they’re nothing like the ones bought at supermarkets.

I bring you a recipe that will leave an irresistible scent in your home, will be the ideal accompaniment for Sunday breakfasts and can also become a small gift homemade to surprise during thisseason. Sound good?

I’m one of those who believes the important thing is to celebrate all the special moments gathered around the table and, of course, with good food. At home we love to cook, as you can guess, and although we enjoy traditions, we also like to vary the menus every year, whether it’s Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Epiphany,...

Christmas is already just around the corner! And honestly, with the avalanche of meals and gatherings coming up, I love planning holiday menus in advance so I can get organized calmly. At home they've already unanimously decided that this mussel cream I'm sharing today deserves a place of honor on our table these days.

This salmon pie is very easy to prepare, and has all the flavor of homemade cooking. I suggest serving the pie with two sauces: an avocado mayonnaise and an orange mousseline, which is nothing more than a mayonnaise sauce mixed with mustard and orange.

The roasted ham is a classic Christmas dish or not strictly a Christmas dish; for example in Galicia it is a very popular dish with its little sauce.Imagine: a piece of patorra pork that we first cook to make sure we tenderize it, and that we finish by roasting in the oven so it releases its fat and turns perfectly golden. Oh, and we serve it with little potatoes, sweet potato and onion. What Americans call comfort food through and through.

I must say I'm crazy about lasagnas, in all their versions—meat, salmon and spinach, or vegetable... They all seem fantastic and delicious to me. I know each of us has a favorite dish from Italian cuisine and that at home we adapt it to our own way; this is the case with the lasagna I bring you today, a vegetable lasagna, a dish I craved all the time when I was pregnant, a simple-to-prepare yet delicious dish.

My son is an unconditional fan of macaroni and cheese, like almost all young people everywhere. My goal is always to get him to eat vegetables and more vegetables, the ones he seems increasingly unwilling to eat. That's why I come up with different versions of his favorite dishes using vegetables.

I had never made cabello de ángel and I even thought I wasn't a big fan of this sweetish concoction. This recipe is a special request from Doña Claudia, whom I thank especially because a homemade cabello de ángel like this one as it's meant to be is something else, not even comparable to the industrial bayonesas fillings I've known since I was little.

I think this recipe can easily become one of the household favorites. It's a very tasty, economical recipe and also very easy to prepare. Also, chicken is usually liked by both children and adults and is truly delicious with this sausage-and-mushroom meat stuffing. A flavorful combination that is also a seasonal dish. It's time to make the most of autumn!

Rabbit is one of my favorite meats, especially when we have barbecues at home. It's a white meat, low in fat and I find it very flavorful, especially when we help it with aromatics like rosemary and thyme. I also enjoy preparing it "al ajillo" (with garlic), with rice, or like today, with this Moroccan-style rabbit that almost cooks itself since I finished the cooking in the oven.
