Yes, I know it's summer and it's hot. I also know that just thinking about turning on the oven makes you want to fan yourself, but I assure you that when you try this roasted onion and garlic focaccia you'll forget the 250º C temperature it needs to bake at, because you'll want to make it again at the earliest opportunity. That's why I wanted to share this recipe today, despite being in the middle of a heat wave.

When I discovered this recipe, I knew everyone at home would be excited. From choosing the ingredients to the last bite, we all enjoyed it like little kids. I think it’s a great option to make and savor as a family, whether you cook it in your home kitchen or on the campsite barbecue. I promise this spiral butifarra sausage on the grill is amazing. You have to try it!

One of the things I find most fascinating about pasta is that it offers a huge range of possibilities. I believe there isn’t a single ingredient that can’t be paired in one way or another with some type of pasta. Even white chocolate! But today I’m sticking with something more traditional, both for the pasta and the sauce: a plate of penne all'arrabbiata that, even when the heat is on, tastes wonderful to me.

Discover how to make pistachio milk! Among all the plant-based beverages we can prepare at home, pistachio milk is, without a doubt, one of the most surprising.

I assure you I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that this is the best camembert burger I've ever tried. The combination of ingredients and the perfect balance of all the flavors turns every bite into a celebration.

If you've ever tried tapenade and loved it, today I suggest an adaptation of this olive pâté, which is made in no time and is finger-licking good. It's usually made with black olives and you can also find it with green olives, but the two types are not usually mixed. This homemade tapenade uses olives from both varieties; you'll see how perfectly the combination works.

With this leg of lamb braised in red wine with a yogurt and lemon sauce, no one will go away hungry — and everyone will want seconds! Slowly cooked to absorb the wonderful aromas of the wine, thyme, garlic and lemon, it’s the perfect excuse to gather family or friends around the table any Sunday. It’s sure to be a hit, because this roast, cooked in a casserole and slow-simmered for hours, is the ultimate draw.

If you adore cinnamon rolls, with their delicious topping and intense flavor, this Pan cinnamon roll will feel like a dream come true. A cinnamon roll, wrapped inside another roll that is wrapped in a third, and finally wrapped in a fourth and last one, forming a large cinnamon roll, perfectly baked, generously covered with a wonderful cream cheese and butter frosting and rounded off with the aroma and taste of cinnamon. Could you ask for more? I don’t think a response is necessary!

Today I take you on a journey with this delicious traditional Shepherd’s Pie: Irish lamb pie. This typical meat pie is a true classic in Irish kitchens, and a dish that cannot be missing on Saint Patrick's Day. The celebration of St. Patrick's Day has crossed borders and I'm sure most of us mark the date in green on our calendars, like the green of the shamrock that the saint used as an example to explain the Holy Trinity.

Take good note of today's recipe and everything I have to tell you! Today we bring a classic of Italian cuisine, Ossobuco alla Milanese. If you've ever tried it, I have no doubt that what you will remember is enjoying tender meat and a sauce full of flavor. Ossobuco is made with veal shank, a bone-in cut that, when slow-cooked, becomes incredibly tender and juicy.
