There’s nothing quite like pulses simmered in a cast-iron casserole to mark the start of comforting stew season. These cocotte-braised lentils with vegetables and sausages have everything I need to make me happy. Comforting, nutritious and packed with flavour, this stew makes an ideal one-pot meal.

With these trout fillets with lemon butter, you can turn any day of the week into a festive Sunday. Simple, quick, and one of those recipes you’ll want to make again; you’ll see how delicious it tastes. The trout is juicy and tender, while the lemon butter sauce adds a fresh, slightly tangy note that works beautifully and enhances its flavor. 

Is there anything better than starting the day with a special homemade coffee? Today I'm bringing you one of my favourite seasonal recipes: the pistachio latte, creamy, smooth and with that sweet, toasty touch that makes it irresistible. If you always order the pistachio latte at your usual café, you'll love knowing that you can make it at home in under five minutes with just four ingredients.

The combination of coffee, salt, honey, pomegranate, lime, sweet potato, thyme and cheese may sound surprising on paper, but I can assure you that in these grilled sweet potatoes with figs and goat’s cream cheese, it works spectacularly well. Claudia’s word!

Although this recipe's carbonara is not traditional, I should make that clear from the start, I can assure you that this reinterpretation of one of the great classics of Italian cuisine is just as delicious as the original version. These creamy carbonara spaghetti with crispy bacon have won me over with their smooth, silky sauce, intense cheesy flavor, and the wonderful contrast provided by the toasted bacon. You have to try them!

If there is one recipe I return to again and again when I want restaurant-style butter steak at home, this is it. It doesn’t call for any unusual ingredients or endless prep time: steak, butter, garlic, and a few freshly boiled baby potatoes. 

The recipe I’m sharing with you today is the perfect result of combining one of summer’s classic salads with a good cut of meat cooked in a cast-iron pan. This caprese beef steak with gratinated mozzarella is made from start to finish in the same skillet, is ready in just a few minutes, and is a complete, balanced, and flavor-packed dish.

Today I’m sharing a very tasty recipe, full of nuances and aromas that will fill your kitchen: a shrimp and vegetable curry that I love to make and enjoy slowly. It’s a dish you can prepare in a short time, that guarantees wonderful results, and that will win everyone over at home. What more could you ask for?

These prawns with paprika, garlic, and white wine are one of those recipes that can be made in very little time and are always tempting. They have lots of flavor, an intense but balanced sauce, and that slightly spicy touch that makes it hard to resist dipping in bread.

Steamed lemon hake is one of those recipes that show that cooking light does not mean giving up flavor. It is a simple, healthy dish that is truly quick to prepare (done in 10-12 minutes!), perfect for any time of year and for anyone looking to enjoy tender, juicy fish with very few ingredients.
