How to Make Candied Nuts
I love caramelizing nuts. Caramelizing is such an absolutely simple, quick, and tidy process. I think many people either don't know how easy it is or don't realize the endless uses they can be put to. So today I remind you HOW TO MAKE CARAMELIZED NUTS:
Condensed Milk Flan
Condensed milk flan is surely one of the most popular traditional flans. If you haven't made it at home yet, you should know that you've most likely tried it, because with its vanilla-like flavor and how easy it is to prepare, it is often the homemade flan recipe served in many restaurants.
Confit artichokes in olive oil
Artichokes are one of my favorite vegetables and, if I have to choose which way of preparing them I like best, I definitely go with artichokes confited in olive oil. Confiting artichokes is a process in which we cook the artichokes submerged in olive oil, at low temperature and for a prolonged period of time.
Mascarpone Muffins
If there are cupcakes that are easy to make and absolutely delicious, this Mascarpone cupcake recipe I bring you today is one of them.
The taste of Mascarpone and lemon shines in every bite, blended with the flavor of vanilla extract, which gives it a softer, more traditional aroma.

Vanilla Ice Cream with Caramelized Nuts
The day you dare to make ice cream at home you'll wonder how it can be so easy. Today, one of my favorites: vanilla ice cream with caramelized nuts (yes, like the ice cream you probably know from Häagen-Dazs®; you can make it with Macadamia nuts if you prefer, although once caramelized you'll see that whether it's with regular nuts or Macadamia nuts the result is equally wonderful).
Vegetable tian with garlic tomato sauce
You can go ahead and grab a kitchen mandoline and some fresh, colorful, and varied vegetables: that’s the secret to making this vegetable tian with garlic tomato sauce taste as delicious as it looks. That, and the Le Creuset roasting pan—new, lightweight, durable, and fabulous for making all kinds of roasts.
Marinated Onion with Tuna in Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
In summer, the queen of salads at home is this recipe of onion marinated in oil and vinegar, which we serve with tuna. This is not tuna with onions, a recipe in which the proportion of tuna is greater than that of the onion.
Arugula salad with caramelized walnuts and crispy ham
You can put a twist on a salad in the easiest way. I strongly encourage you to try this arugula salad with toasted walnuts and raisins and crispy ham; paired with the apple it's a wonderful combination. And those toasted, caramelized walnuts... Oh, my God! They're delicious!
Coconut Pudding
With leftover brioche, pan de leche, croissants, or ensaimadas you can make a delicious dessert. This coconut milk pudding won us over from the very first spoonful.
