Let's make a feast at the table! Today I'm not bringing you a recipe as such, but original ideas for enjoying a chocolate fondue in different ways, the way it's meant to be — big time! The truth is that making a chocolate fondue is very simple and fun, and we couldn't wait any longer to bring you some ideas that we believe aren't widely practiced. Let's see what you think!

Since we're about to enter autumn, I thought it would be nice to talk about some secrets and ideas that help me a lot in creating the perfect autumnal table.

Cheese lovers are going to love this post. Today I bring you some delicious recipes made with cheese. For lunches, dinners, or appetizers, they're perfect to prepare when you have guests at home or even to treat yourself.

A KitchenAid stand mixer is a significant investment but one that lasts a lifetime. For that reason, we receive some very common and recurring questions that we hope to answer in this post, ranging from what the differences are between the various KitchenAid models to others like which KitchenAid mixer is right for me, which KitchenAid is the most popular, questions about accessories, or how to obtain the recipe book.

We are undoubtedly a country of traditions and we have a lot of popular Easter recipes that are part of our gastronomy and our culture. I was excited to compile them.

Cereal bars are tasty, healthy, provide energy and are a perfect food to take everywhere (to work, to school, for when you're exercising or simply to carry in your bag to snack mid-morning). Also, if you make the bars at home, you can control the amount of sugars and the quality of the ingredients, and they have that extra "I made them myself" factor, which is always an added pleasure—you can't deny it.

Did you know homemade cookies can last up to a month in perfect condition if you store them properly? That is, as long as you don't get distracted and the little ones (or some older kid in the house... ahem!) don't play mouse and eat them first.

Baking cookies is one of my favorite pleasures. It's easy and also quick, since the dough requires very little mixing and the baking takes little time (about 15 minutes). Kids enjoy it too, you make sure to eat quality ingredients and, if you make them in batches, you have reserves for days.

We were really eager to see which recipes you liked most this past year, and we loved the results. Do you know why?
