Coca boba or coca de llanda
The coca boba may be one of those recipes that have been there in my life since day one. My mother made it (and still does) all the time like it was nothing, with no preliminaries or planning – that's how simple she is; now even my father joins in!
Traditional Easter Recipes
We are undoubtedly a country of traditions and we have a lot of popular Easter recipes that are part of our gastronomy and our culture. I was excited to compile them.
Sandwich loaf with Moulinex bread maker
Making sandwich loaf at home is currently one of our pastimes. It's perfect for the kids who sometimes prefer to eat a sandwich with softer bread for their snack. Or for having some exquisite toast with oil for breakfast.
Fried milk (traditional recipe)
Let's do our bit to make sure this delicacy, the authentic fried milk recipe, doesn't disappear! I was eager to bring a homemade dessert, one that's much loved and, interestingly, is being lost in many households that don't have a grandmother nearby. So today I bring one of the most popular desserts in our country, especially typical of Holy Week (in fact, it also goes by the names Easter milk, Lenten milk or Basque milk).
Milk and oat bread in a ceramic casserole
This simple, easy-to-make recipe won’t leave you indifferent. Thismilk and oat bread is a soft, tender loaf, "brioche-like" from the milk and flavored with rosemary honey.
Rosemary Potato Roses
If I tell you that roses, besides being beautiful, can be delicious, I'm not just practicing the art of rhyme; I want to offer you an easy and charming way to present edible flowers, like these rosemary potato roses, to share with those you love most. You only need potatoes, rosemary and a kitchen mandoline or a slicer. You'll see how simple they are to make and they look so pretty, you'll feel bad about eating them!
Meatballs in Carrot Sauce
I'd say meatballs aren't as fashionable as they once were; they may seem too labor-intensive in these times of immediacy, but these meatballs in carrot sauce, besides being delicious, are ready in no time if you get the whole family to help. And shaping the little meatballs will give you the week's zen moment. I swear it on Snoopy.
Stewed Lentils with Pork Rib
One of the great advantages of the new WMF multi-function pot is that in a single appliance you can perform different types of cooking, from pressure cooking like in a pressure cooker to steaming, sautéing, browning, slow cooking... The idea of today's recipe is to make use of that multifunctionality.
Parisian Flan
I love making sweet preparations, whether tarts, desserts,… I enjoy any of them — with fruit, with cream, with or without pastry. But above all I like them not to be excessively sweet, that is, so I can appreciate all their nuances rather than have them masked by too much sugar.
Galician zorza
I had never heard of Galician zorza until Claudia suggested making it, and I must admit I’ve fallen for it (well, me and everyone at home), because we’ve found a new way to prepare meat that’s different and not at all complicated.
How to Make an Authentic Moroccan Tea
Today Julio shows us how to make an authentic Moroccan tea, a wonderfully comforting sweet tea. Besides being comforting because it's served hot, it proves to be a very healthy drink (especially if we control the sweetness, as we do in our recipe).
Cheese, shiitake and cauliflower crepes
This coming February 2nd is International Crepe Day, and what better way to celebrate than by making a fabulous crepe for the family? Making crepes is one of the easiest things in the kitchen, and you can make them with whichever combination you like best. Now, I encourage you to prepare them with one of my favorite crepe fillings: cheese, mushrooms, and cauliflower crepes.
