If you were wondering how to make homemade bars you'll love reading this post (and the mold Mastrad has released!). 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.

I had never made cabello de ángel and I even thought I wasn't a big fan of this sweetish concoction.

The fig season is officially open, and we won’t be the ones left without ideas when it comes to enjoying them! At home we love them, especially my husband and my eldest son, and although at this time they enjoy them fresh, served with a good cheese they make a delicious dinner!

I discovered this recipe for yogurt cheese balls in extra virgin olive oil some time ago and I was really eager to share it with you. You need to be organized and patient when preparing them, because the yogurt has to drain on its own and the process takes between two and three days. But apart from this minor detail, making this lovely and tasty appetizer is a breeze.

With the newly introduced Cook Expert robot, many questions arise when making such an important investment. The most common is whether it's worth investing in the new Magimix robot or if the Thermomix is still the best option.
