Pan-fried gnocchi in a skillet is a little pleasure. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and with that comforting flavor that makes you always want seconds. We love them at home, and this time I paired them with Brussels sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, and a generous handful of grated pecorino on top. The result is a simple but delicious recipe, with a creamy touch and a bit of crunch that makes it irresistible.

Today I take you on a journey with this delicious traditional Shepherd’s Pie: Irish lamb pie. This typical meat pie is a true classic in Irish kitchens, and a dish that cannot be missing on Saint Patrick's Day. The celebration of St. Patrick's Day has crossed borders and I'm sure most of us mark the date in green on our calendars, like the green of the shamrock that the saint used as an example to explain the Holy Trinity.

Take good note of today's recipe and everything I have to tell you! Today we bring a classic of Italian cuisine, Ossobuco alla Milanese. If you've ever tried it, I have no doubt that what you will remember is enjoying tender meat and a sauce full of flavor. Ossobuco is made with veal shank, a bone-in cut that, when slow-cooked, becomes incredibly tender and juicy.

Surprise! The Le Creuset handled roasting tray, besides being oven-safe, is also suitable for use on the stovetop! Did you know? And today I'm giving it a grand debut with this recipe for Roast beef with herb butter and a spectacular mushroom sauce.

Cinnamon is a spice that turns the most everyday recipes into something special, thanks to its warm aroma and unmistakable flavor. I believe that, after salt, pepper and rosemary, it’s the spice I use most in the kitchen. Especially in sweet recipes, as I imagine is the case in your kitchen too, but also in savory dishes like roasts, cannelloni, some rice dishes, tagines or creams, it adds a distinct touch that completely changes the recipe or how you enjoy it.

If there is a traditiona sweetl that never fails at parties and celebrations, those are the crispy fried flowers with sugar and cinnamon. With their delicate shape and light texture, these little golden wonders have been passed down from generation to generation, becoming a staple of Spanish homemade baking.

There’s no better way to start the morning than with homemade blueberry muffins. This filled muffin recipe achieves the perfect balance between the sweetness of the batter, the subtle tartness of the blueberries, and a fluffy texture from the buttermilk inside, with a golden crust on the outside.

The oil sweet bread or "pompe à huile" is a traditional bread from Provence, in southeastern France. Its texture is not as fluffy as brioche, but its flavor is unique and very aromatic. Although in its region of origin it is usually made during the Christmas season, I assure you it's worth breaking that custom and enjoying it for breakfast or as a snack at any time of the year.

Yes, you read that right — in the pressure cooker we can make a cheesecake with an incredibly creamy texture and no fuss.

There are combinations that, simple as they may seem, always surprise. Chicken with pineapple is one of them, and in this panini it's spectacular: the chicken stays juicy, the grilled pineapple enhances its sweetness, and the pomegranate adds that fresh, crunchy touch that makes it even more special.
