I love savory pies; they have always seemed very versatile to me and perfect to serve as dinner, a starter, or even as an appetizer. Also, it’s a preparation that allows us to have it ready in advance, only needing to serve it when required. I was looking for new ideas to make savory pies when I came across a sun-shaped pie on the blog Saines Gourmandises. I found it absolutely beautiful, so I had to adapt it to bring you this Autumn Sun Pie.

I think this recipe can easily become one of the household favorites. It's a very tasty, economical recipe and also very easy to prepare. Also, chicken is usually liked by both children and adults and is truly delicious with this sausage-and-mushroom meat stuffing. A flavorful combination that is also a seasonal dish. It's time to make the most of autumn!

Mushrooms are starting to appear in the markets, the perfect sign that autumn is already here, with all that it brings: delicious recipes featuring a wonderful and very versatile ingredient.

The origin of flan goes back to the Romans, who prepared it both in sweet and savory versions. The sweet version was much sweeter than the one we know, as it was sweetened with honey. At first pepper was added—yes, pepper as you hear it—until pepper was replaced by the caramel used today.

With this mushroom soup with tomato we kick off the season of spoon dishes. Just into autumn it's time for a wardrobe change and also a change on the refrigerator shelves, which now hold the ingredients needed to prepare creams, stews, or legumes in a pressure cooker.

I confess I'm a coward and I didn't dare turn on the oven until the heat had eased a bit. That said, I was certain that when I did it would be to make this delicious Dutch Baby Pancake, and it was a complete success.

Today we’re bringing a chicken tajine with pears and apples that’s going to drive you crazy. A very easy, slow-cooked recipe that yields a dish bursting with flavor.

These turkey and zucchini burgers are healthier than what we're used to in a burger. The recipe is from the famous chef Ottolenghi and follows his line of simple combinations with wonderful spices, in this case with cumin and cayenne, two spices that make a phenomenal combo.

I admit that one of the things I find hardest to get people to eat at home in the summer is legumes, and honestly it's no surprise because I'm the first who, as soon as the heat arrives, only wants cool things. Is it the same for you? Well, I'll tell you one thing... You have to try this spiced chickpea and mango salad!

The fig season is officially open, and we won’t be the ones left without ideas when it comes to enjoying them! At home we love them, especially my husband and my eldest son, and although at this time they enjoy them fresh, served with a good cheese they make a delicious dinner!

Tofu is the most commonly used food to replace meat. So if you’ve decided to reduce animal protein in your diet, a good option is to use this ingredient. Although when you try it for the first time, you’ll probably find it a bit bland… But I have the solution! If we marinate tofu, its flavor changes radically and we can use it in many dishes while adding an extra boost of taste.

Chilean "empanadas de pino" have a curious name, don't you think? Pino is the name of the very traditional filling of onion, beef, olives, egg, and raisins, which apparently derives from the Mapuche word pirru and has nothing to do with the tree.
