Today we bring a double helping of bundts: to celebrate the arrival of the new Nordic Ware Crystel and Magnolia pans, we bring you two recipes you'll surely make the most of: the recipe for a grapefruit bundt cake, which you can substitute with orange (or even lemon!) if you prefer, to get a delicious citrus cake; and the recipe for an apple cider and bourbon bundt that will delight everyone at home.

Today, September 13 is International Chocolate Day. I think we can agree that this food of the gods deserves a tribute, or at least this post: a roundup of chocolate recipes to bring a smile to your face.

With the hustle and stress of the week, breakfast is often the big forgotten meal. So one of the things we enjoy most on weekends is breakfast. It's the perfect time to make something special and unhurried for the whole family.

The gluten-free pancakes I'm sharing today are some of my family's favorites. They're very simple pancakes, with very few ingredients, and they take 10 minutes to make.

And I'm sure it has happened to all of us at some point: buying bananas and everyone at home deciding they don't want to eat them that week… And the poor things just sit in the fruit bowl looking very unappetizing. Well, this banana bread is undoubtedly the solution!

The origin of this tart lies in Saint-Tropez where, in the 1950s, Polish pastry chef Alexandre Miccka prepared and sold a delicate brioche filled with cream. The invention was so delicious that even Brigitte Bardot fell for it. In fact, it was the actress who suggested the name “Tarte Tropézienne”, which today is both a recipe and a registered trademark and remains as popular as ever.

We bring a layered bread recipe, but to make it to your liking this time we give you homework: you'll have to think about which flavors are your favorites to round off the finish. Are you up for trying it?

You can steam super-fluffy sponge cakes. You can do this either in a pressure cooker or in other utensils designed for steaming. In this case, we will show you how to do it in the WMF Olla Vitalis.

The olive oil brioche I'm bringing you today has nothing to envy from the classic French sweet enriched with butter. In this brioche you'll find all the goodness of the original but with the added benefit of extra virgin olive oil.

If in my last recipe we traveled to the United Kingdom, today we continue there. I couldn't resist presenting the recipe for Scones. Yes, I'm sure you know them — those round rolls originating from Scotland, the little breads usually served alongside the famous tea time.

You know I love sharing recipes from different parts of the world with you, it’s something that drives me crazy. I believe there’s nothing better than getting to know a place through its food and traditions. When we travel, I would dare say I almost prefer going to markets, restaurants, shops, bakeries... more than visiting the place itself! haha. It’s something I really enjoy. Today we’re not going very far, I want to share with you how to make and enjoy an incredible Mallorcan potato coca.

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.

The brioche is a light, soft bread enriched with butter. It is a French classic. This recipe has a delicious chocolate praline filling with a chocolate decoration and chopped hazelnuts. A delicious sweet to serve with a good coffee at any time.
