Crème brulée tart
Crème brûlée is the French first cousin of what we know as crema catalana. Softer, I would say, and with a delicious vanilla flavor that makes it delightful. In this tart with a sweet almond base and crème brûlée as the filling, you'll enjoy it like never before.
Spiced Pumpkin Bundt Cake
I was really struck by how this Nordic Ware recipe stood out in positive reviews and critiques, both in the number of reviews and the favorable ratings it received. Everyone raved about how delicious this spiced pumpkin bundt cake turns out! And of course I had no choice but to try it.
Panna cotta with lemon curd
I love panna cotta, but on its own it gets boring. It's an extremely delicate and refined dessert, with that subtle cream flavor and the little touch of vanilla I like to give it... but for me it's not enough: I need to add something extra to enjoy it, a contrast, and discovering the wonderful combination of panna cotta with lemon curd is a pleasure I don't want to keep to myself — you have to try it!

Almond, Lemon and Mascarpone Cake
I only had to see a very fluffy sponge cake whose ingredients listed almond flour and lemon to think it had to be delicious — with how much we love tarta de Santiago at home, that cake promised it would undoubtedly remind me of it, but with a more cake-like crumb. And so it was — it was a hit with our friends!

Cod fritters
These cod fritters are delicious when freshly made, while they're still piping hot. You can serve them with some kind of sauce (mayonnaise, tartar...), as additions to stewed beans or on their own, which is how I like them best. Although I'm sure you can think of other ways to enjoy them.
