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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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!

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.

Are you up for making cod with that touch of flavor it needs to truly enjoy it? This cod recipe is super quick to make, and super easy too: you'll see that with very little you can give the table presentation a twist and, above all, give it a real flavor boost thanks to the sobrasada paste, garlic and aromatic herbs — that extra something it needs to liven up the meal.

Very easy to make but with a truly tasty result, I’m bringing you a different and really impressive way to cook mackerel on the grill! In today’s recipe, the mackerel is stuffed with cheese and herbs, and we cook it with a touch of lemon. It’s incredibly tasty!

The dehydrator is useful for much more than making dried fruit chips for a snack or dehydrating onion, garlic, mushrooms and aromatic herbs to always have them on hand for your stews. With this recipe for dehydrated banana and cocoa crepes I hope to shed light on the possibilities offered by the air dehydrator, and of course I hope you enjoy breakfasts that are healthy, energizing, and delicious.

With today's Chocolate Cheesecake recipe we're going to show you two things: first, that cheesecake is delicious, but it can be taken to another level when paired with such tasty flavors as chocolate and peanut.
