Today we present a dish that is as hearty as it is daring, flavorful and surprising. It's brought to us by Eva, author of Bake-Street, who prepares a Duck Pie (or duck pie) in a black sesame pastry that will work for many other tarts.
The duck pie is a pie with a unique flavor, also unusual since we don't usually eat duck in everyday meals. This recipe has all the qualities to make it an ideal choice for family gatherings!

The Le Creuset skillet pan is a 100% iron pan that can go on the stovetop as well as in the oven. Patricia, author of Sabores&Momentos, demonstrates it today with this very easy-to-prepare recipe, using only the oven, and with a fabulous presentation in the skillet.

Many of you are already familiar with De Buyer iron pans. They are pans that, as we’ve always said, will last you a lifetime, at a more than reasonable price. You can feel the quality of these pans just by holding them, noticing their weight and the thickness of the iron griddle they are formed from; what’s more, their long handle makes them comfortable to work with in the kitchen, and their beeswax finish provides a natural protection that is also appreciated.

As many of you know, a couple of months ago we opened our new offices. Here, a carpenter we knew worked the wood as it has always been done. This workshop, where we now have the offices, still conveys what it once meant and gives me the feeling that it largely inspires what we do, helping us convey this sense of craftsmanship — that we appreciate the traditional, and that we put care into what we do in the same way the carpenter put care into working the wood.

As you know, a few weeks ago we opened the Pantry. It’s a section I’m particularly excited about, because we put a lot of care into selecting the products and suppliers. I think we have a good variety of ingredients that can be great for adding a different touch to everyday life or for saving for a special occasion.

Preparing soufflé (soufflé, as Miriam rightly says) is an ideal option when you have guests... and now dates are coming when, one way or another, someone will have an engagement! Making it is within everyone's reach, but certain guidelines must be followed for it to turn out well. So I leave you with the tips from the author of The Winter Guest, and with this delicious cheese and herb soufflé.

Celebration times with family and friends are approaching, and that's why recipes like the one Carmen brings us today from Yerbabuena en la cocina are very welcome - a timeless recipe that, without much fuss, is ideal for any occasion.

I am filled with joy when December arrives. Christmas is approaching, a time of year I love: thinking about family meals, those meals that sometimes end up as dinners, and also seeing the excitement of children when they wake up and run to look beside the tree.

We can already smell Christmas in the air, and many of us can’t imagine it without those family meals full of delicious dishes and cheerful conversations. Cannelloni are an almost obligatory dish in many homes, so today Carolina, author of La Cocina de Carolina, is making our mouths water with a meat version with a very special touch. You’ll definitely want to start taking notes, because she’s adapted traditional meat cannelloni in a way you’ll love!

These cakes that Miriam, author of El Invitado de Invierno, brings us today will delight you with their tasty combination and how easy they are to prepare. Also, you can make them either in mini format as presented here, or in a single large baking dish. Don't miss it!

The other day I was telling you about which utensils are the basic and essential ones when it comes to equipping a kitchen, and that in fact they are also essential to keep in mind when renewing the utensils you have. You can see the post here.

I remember the first day I made crepes at home: I wondered how they would turn out, I thought it would be complicated, that I wouldn't know how to flip them or that they'd come out too thick. Without a doubt the first one I made wasn't good, but after the experience of the first, the second one came out very well.
