Today I come with something different, a selection of toast recipes that are ideal as an improvised dinner or as a quick appetizer and are always a hit with attendees. There is nothing complicated about preparing a variety of toasts and the result is, in addition to being very attractive, very delicious.

What a wonderful find! Golden milk, this spiced almond flavored hot drink, definitely stays in my house! I think I was looking forward to the cold again just to be able to enjoy this extremely delicious and addictive hot plant milk.

Caramelized or candied nuts are a delicious sweet, a sugary snack that you cannot escape after eating one. Today I tell you how to make delicious candied pecans at home! Sweet and crunchy, be warned that they are highly addictive, and to make them you only need a frying pan.

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 make a compilation of them.

Last week Virginia, author of Sweet&Sour, gave us an introduction to jams and preserves, giving us the differences between jams, preserves and jellies, and explaining how we should go about preparing them.

Making jam is a pleasure, and enjoying it is a real joy. The main process to prepare it is really simple, but there are many points that are important to know. That is why we have asked Virginia, author of Sweet&Sour, to tell us a little more about them, hoping that it will be of interest to you.

I have never been a great follower of fashion, and perhaps for this reason I have never made a cake with fondant or cupcakes with coatings or creams that do not taste like anything, despite their success. You will not have seen on the web or recipes or products or material for it. I admit that it is quite an art to make them, but they simply do not go with me. But there is a fashion that I definitely join, and it is the fashion of naked cakes.

One of the pans that we sell the most in the store is the Le Creuset Skillet pan. As you know, at Claudia&Julia we are specialists in iron utensils, and we want to answer the most common questions about one of Le Creuset's most iconic pieces, the skillet pan, and tell you why we are great lovers of this pan, which is so versatile. as pretty and durable.

I am very fond of a tool that is nothing seen, and that allows me to achieve results with meat, fish and even vegetables, which are truly wonderful. This is the Nordic Ware smoker , a unique product.

Often, when you think about buying a pan, you ask us: What pan do I buy that works for everything and that nothing sticks? And also: "What frying pan can I buy that is non-stick and is not harmful to health?" We'd love to have the perfect pan: affordable, lightweight, durable, versatile, non-stick and all-natural. The problem, to be honest, is that there is no such thing as a perfect pan.

We have been working with Kitchen Craft products for a long time, and some of you may have noticed that lately we have incorporated more references from this brand. The truth is that I have a special affection for this brand -it gives me a feeling that somehow intoxicates me, inspires me, and I think they have a character, an air, that goes a lot with the Claudia&Julia style.

Many of us already have a fondue at home. It has become an ideal gift item, and it is very exciting to have it. But it is also true that there are those who have it parked and, honestly, I think it's a real shame! Fondue is a practical culinary utensil -with which you can solve a meal or dinner quickly-, it is fun for diners, it is easy to prepare and clean -important, right?- and also from my experience, it favors the communication and encourages meals, since it is, so to speak, a group activity, a dish to share, which calls for conversation.
