Our friend Miriam García, author of the blog El Invitado de Invierno, always knows how to make the most of the various kitchen utensils. Recently she noticed Le Creuset's ceramic terrine and has featured on her blog a recipe that stands out for its quality and ease of preparation.

"To cook with a stainless steel pan it is very important to control the temperature". I recognize that was almost the only thing I could say about stainless steel pans, since I didn't have much else to tell from first-hand experience until quite recently.

In today's recipe Virginia, author of Sweet and Sour, presents a dish that anyone can shine with in the kitchen... And that everyone will enjoy to the fullest when eating it! I'm sure this soupy seafood rice will make your mouth water, so I can only encourage you to follow her recipe.

I can say I spent a lot of time addicted to the bread maker. I used it daily. Most people didn't understand it, because I was lucky enough to have one before they became fashionable. But that's how it was: it's a device so easy to use, that takes so little time and gives you so much! Having freshly baked bread with your own ingredients... it does have a price. The cost of the bread maker.

With pleasant weather we crave lighter, healthier meals, but we certainly don't want to give up flavor and the pleasure of good food.

Raquel, author of Los Tragaldabas, had a crush on the De Buyer French Collection frying pan (the classic iron one with a special handle). While she fell in love with that pretty pan, I’ve fallen for the recipe she brings us today: easy to prepare and ideal for warm weather — with these clams in sauce you’ll be sure to be a hit!

A few days ago I told you about the new trend in cakes: the return to traditional cakes, or naked cakes. With the success they are enjoying, a recipe to encourage you to make one could not be missing.

I've never been much of a follower of trends, and maybe that's why I've never made a fondant cake or cupcakes with coatings or frostings that taste like nothing, despite how popular they are. You won't have seen recipes, products, or supplies for them on the website. I admit it's an art to make them, but they simply aren't for me. But there is one trend I definitely embrace, and that's the trend of naked cakes.

Today Beatriz, author of To Be Gourmet, brings us a very popular recipe, a fideuá. She gives it a more personal touch by including assorted mushrooms among the ingredients, and you only need to see the result to conclude that it's worth trying at home. I invite you to try it!

Virginia, author of Sweet&Sour, surprises us today with a strawberry ice cream with a very intense flavor, thanks to incorporating roasted strawberries. In addition, the ice cream is accompanied by meringue, so this tempting refreshment becomes a treat you can't miss. Let's go for the recipe!

I have seen and used Pallarès knives all my life. They have been used in my grandparents' and my mother's kitchen. I still remember going into a village shop holding my mother's hand to buy them. I'm accustomed to them and fond of them, and that is why it was a pleasure and a thrill, I must admit, to add them to the shop.
