Inspirada en la cocina oriental, con especias como el comino, la cúrcuma y el pimentón, es un plato vegetariano completo que gusta a todo el mundo y que tienes listo en menos de 35 minutos.

I’m not going to reveal any secret by talking about the ingredients used to make leche merengada, an irresistible classic that’s refreshing and full of flavor. It’s one of our most traditional drinks, along with horchata, agua de Valencia, or lemon granita. For me, it’s one of summer’s pleasures; served nice and chilled, its creamy texture feels wonderful and sweetens the afternoon like few others can.

If there’s one recipe that deserves a permanent spot in your repertoire, it’s this one. Tagliatelle all’Alfredo is one of those dishes that looks restaurant-worthy, but you can have it on the table in under 20 minutes. Creamy, flavorful, and with that hint of nutmeg that changes everything.

Original, hearty and wonderfully homemade, this recipe is born from the fusion of two great classics of Spanish and Italian cuisine. And from the union of two of the most iconic dishes prepared by Italian nonnas and Spanish grandmothers, nothing less than this Spanish potato omelette with Bolognese sauce could come out of it — an original, complete and delicious dish that will win you over from the very first bite.

Cod is a fish I like in any way. Breaded, with pisto, stewed with potatoes, baked, or in a salad with xató sauce, I find it an incredibly versatile fish and, above all, delicious. That’s why I think this Cantonese-style steamed cod recipe is fabulous, because it’s a different option from the ones we usually make at home, and it’s so easy to make that it’s ideal for dinners on days when we’re short on time.

Today I bring you a dessert that signals the arrival of good weather and summer afternoons. This strawberry and pistachio tart is a chilled tart that is very easy to make and will impress your guests. The baked shortcrust pastry base, crisp and with just the right touch of sweetness, offers the perfect contrast to the silky texture of the pastry cream and the slightly tangy taste of the strawberries.

The potato and spinach curry I’m sharing with you today is an easy vegan recipe that has it all, just the kind I love. It’s quick and easy to make, can be prepared ahead of time since you can boil the potatoes in advance, it’s delicious, nutritious, and can be adapted to suit the cook’s taste. An ideal recipe!

These traditional, homemade lemon doughnuts rank high on my list of favorite sweet treats. They’re very easy to make, something I really appreciate, and since we all like them equally at home, we enjoy eating them together—and making them, too!

If you love vanilla, as I do, you must try these Swedish vanilla buns or vaniljbullar. I can assure you they make the perfect accompaniment to coffee, at any time of day. The dough, flavored with cardamom, and the creamy vanilla filling combine beautifully, and the result is delicate, balanced, and very aromatic.

The blue cheese quiche is one of those recipes you always fancy: creamy, full of flavour and very easy to prepare. A perfect option for a quick weekday meal or for a more special dinner, thanks to the characterful touch of blue cheese.

Today we’re preparing a pan-fried hake with beurre blanc sauce, a classic French recipe that combines simplicity and elegance like few others. A delicate white fish dish with a smooth, creamy sauce that enhances its flavour, perfect for everyday meals as well as those occasions when you want to impress without too much effort.
