Virginia, the author of Sweet&Sour, brings us a recipe that can’t be missing from our cookbooks: making hummus at home is easy and very versatile. It’s ideal both to use as an appetizer and for first courses or as a side dish. In this case she serves it with marinated quesa feta and some roasted vegetables, which go wonderfully with the hummus.

You won't be able to resist today's recipe, because the risotto brought to us by Eva, author of Bake-Street, is finger-licking good: it's a delicious and colorful risotto that I'm sure you'll love even if you're not a big fan of beetroot. It's one of the best risotto recipes for its unique flavor and the original contrast of the caramelized hazelnuts. Don't miss it!

Meatballs have been part of our cuisine since the Arabs taught us how to make them more than 500 years ago. In fact, albóndiga comes from the word al-bunduqa, which means “the ball”. You can imagine then that, being such an ancient dish, there are many variations of it and that we can find meatballs in many countries around the world.

Leticia, author of Revelando Sabores, returns to the blog to bring us a recipe you’ll love for its simplicity and for the endless possibilities it offers: making blinis is very easy and can solve both an impromptu dinner and be the perfect appetizer for a more formal meal.

The author of The Winter Guest, Miriam, shows us a recipe you'll enjoy in your everyday life: delicious huevos rancheros! She prepares them in an iron skillet that I'm in love with, the Skeppshult. Enjoy the recipe!

There was a frying pan that I had always seen at my parents' house. I remember we used it often but I never asked where it had come from. I saw it among other pans and thought it was one of my mother's eccentricities, another "gadget" — who knows where it had come from...

Today's recipe is perfect for everyday: an original, uncomplicated recipe that's full of flavor! It's brought to us by Patri, from Sabores&Momentos, and I'm sure you'll love it.

You will love the quiche brought to us by Loreto from Sabores de Colores! The blend of olives, tomato and anchovies results in a very Mediterranean flavor, and as a quiche it’s especially appealing and original. Enjoy!

As is traditional during Lent and Holy Week, we invite you to make torrijas, this sweet which, although it originated from the need to use up leftover bread from several days, is so delicious that it has become a highly desired dessert or snack. Carmen, author of Yerbabuena en la cocina, brings us the recipe with a slightly different touch: instead of sugar or honey, she sweetens them with a delicious orange-and-honey syrup. Happy Holy Week!
