I believe what I have for today could be a discovery for many. I'm not bringing a recipe, but a complete menu with recipes made in a low-temperature pot. I hope you really enjoy this delicious vegetable frittata, a beef with creamy mushroom sauce, and for dessert a very smooth and delicious crème brûlée.

Stuffed hake is one of those dishes that works well year-round and is enjoyed by both young and old. We can make it simply baked with a little oil, but stuffed with prawns and served with a velouté sauce it's incredible.

This traditional recipe recipe of Bacalao a la Manresana is based on one of the recipes compiled by the Manresan cook and gastronome Ignasi Domenech (1874-1976), in his cookbook "La Teca". In its pages, he collected stews and braises and desserts that were cooked on the stoves of Manresan homes of the time. As well as two recipes for Bacalao a la Manresana: one with potatoes and quince alioli and the second with spinach, plums, raisins and pine nuts.

One of the most popular ways to prepare peppers is to stuff them, especially when we talk about piquillo peppers.

Some prefer them stuffed with meat or seafood, but the cod-stuffed ones are usually the most popular because they are very easy to prepare and because everyone at home likes them.

Today's dish is an absolute showstopper. These garlic prawns, traditional to the core, have earned their popularity fair and square. Besides being incredibly tasty, they're ready in the blink of an eye. A delightful tapa, perfect for any weekend or even as an appetizer for a celebratory lunch or dinner.

Today, to show you how simple and quick papillote cooking is, we bring one of the most popular or common recipes using this technique: a salmon papillote. We make it on a base of potato and zucchini, and you’ll see that with four basic ingredients and the special Emile Henry ceramic oven dish for papillotes, you’ll get your family eating healthily and leaving their plates clean.

We love fresh salmon at home and our latest discovery is these salmon tacos in an Asian-style sauce. To prepare them we use a wok and in very little time they are on the table.

At this time of year and after days of bingeing I always need a comforting stew that's not heavy, and this potato stew with choco or squid is very popular at home, and the best part is it's easy to make.

The tajine, as you already know, is typical of Maghrebi cuisine, and all kinds of preparations are made in it — I mean meat as well as fish, vegetables and even fruit. The most fascinating thing about this kind of vessel is that the cooking will vary depending on how we arrange the ingredients; for example, what we place in the top will cook by steam, thus achieving more juiciness, and the tougher ingredients should always be put at the base where the liquid and contact with the heat will be.

The cod is without a doubt one of the most versatile fish. We can find it salted and now in almost all supermarkets also at the right level of salt, which means we can decide to have cod almost immediately.

Today we are going to prepare it with white wine and tomato. We will use cherry tomatoes of different colors that give it a fresh and very appetizing appearance these days when the heat sets in.

I love trying new recipes. At home they always reproach me for not making that milk bread with such a tender crumb anymore, or that banana ice cream that turned out so delicious. Sometimes I try so many things that I forget to cook the everyday, simple dishes.

Portuguese cuisine boasts so many cod recipes that we could make a different one every day of the year without repeating. This is one of the most popular, both inside and outside the neighboring country. At home it’s much loved, even by those who aren’t big fans of fish, which is a welcome thing. Likewise, it’s a very simple dish to prepare and doesn’t require unusual ingredients or odd gadgets.
