Juana, author of La cocina de Babel, brings us a recipe that many of you may have heard of: the pilav (or pilaf) recipe prepared following Yotam Ottolenghi’s approach. Flavorful and very easy to make, you’ll surely make it again at home!

Carmen, author of Tia Alia, brings us a savory tart that is as delicious as it is eye-catching: the zucchini tart recipe with ricotta and goat cheese. A wonderful combination in a very easy-to-make recipe that you will really enjoy at home!

The mascarpone brioche recipe is, without a doubt, the most popular recipe we've had these past months in our closed Facebook group (if you're not in it and you like cooking, I strongly encourage you to join and enjoy!). That's why I asked Beatriz, author of To Be Gourmet, if she could bring the recipe to the blog, and she does so in style, debuting Emile Henry's beautiful new bread pan, the crown mold. Success is guaranteed!
