Paella de secreto con setas

Secreto and mushroom paella

We made this secreto pork rice with mushrooms for the first time on a Saturday during vacation. Since then we've made it a few times because it's a very complete dish that everyone likes, and I'm happy to be able to bring it today to pay tribute to the upcoming World Paella Day on September 20.

Risotto de guisantes, gorgonzola y menta

Pea, Gorgonzola and Mint Risotto

Today we head to Italy with this "gorgonzola, pea and mint risotto." This is one of my favorite risotto recipes: creamy, smooth and with the burst of peas in every bite. Risotto is one of the most traditional dishes of Italian cuisine; to achieve an ultra-creamy rice it is essential to use a good rice for the task: Arborio, Carnaroli, etc. Due to these rices' ability to absorb liquid, they will give us that typical pasty texture of risotto.
Rancho canario de pulpo

Canarian octopus stew

There are spoon dishes that are magical, dishes that transport you back to childhood and to grandma's home cooking. This Canarian rancho that I bring you today is one of them, a simple spoon dish and, although the best-known version is prepared with meat, I’m passionate about the octopus version. It is a typical preparation from the Canary Islands, a humble yet truly delicious dish.

Zorza gallega

Galician zorza

I had never heard of Galician zorza until Claudia suggested making it, and I must admit I’ve fallen for it (well, me and everyone at home), because we’ve found a new way to prepare meat that’s different and not at all complicated.

Arroz con garbanzos en cocotte Every

Rice with chickpeas in an Every casserole

This rice with chickpeas, raisins, and other goodies is a classic from the inland areas of the Levantine region. The recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks in the whole wide world, The Food from Spain by Claudia Roden, a writer of Jewish origin based in the United Kingdom, which unfortunately has not yet been translated into Spanish. It’s very refreshing to read how Spanish gastronomy inspires an outsider, with a perspective free of regional favoritism, in a deeply personal and unique collection of recipes.

Tortellini de ricotta al limón y sugo de tomate

Lemon Ricotta Tortellini with Tomato Sugo

The first time I made homemade pasta and saw how simple it was (for some reason I had imagined it to be much more complicated), I decided to make my own pasta all the time. I didn't even have a pasta machine — I rolled it out with a rolling pin, rolled it up and cut it to make tagliatelle. With my roommates we experimented with squid ink, spinach, turmeric, etc. to give it different colors and aromas.

Ravioli dulces de queso con miel

Sweet cheese ravioli with honey

It's hard to find someone who doesn't like pasta, right? I'd say it's almost impossible, since there are countless varieties and it would be very rare not to find one that suits your tastes. The same goes for ravioli: this pasta can be filled with anything you can imagine, and there's even a sweet ravioli version.
