Today I bring you an easy, light, and equally delicious recipe. Inspired by the traditional rösti or Swiss potato omelette, these crispy potato and vegetable pancakes with yogurt sauce are the perfect side for lunches and dinners.

With the permission of the most purist chefs, today I suggest reimagining one of the classics of French cuisine, Coq au vin, and preparing wine-braised chicken with cider, which has nothing to envy in the traditional recipe. Without hesitation, chicken in a casserole is delicious any way, but in this dish, replacing the red wine with dry cider is a complete win, because its apple notes pair so well with the chicken.

If you want to make pulled pork at home, I suggest a way to prepare it that's much easier and faster than you might think.

If there's a stew capable of filling the kitchen with aromas and winning over everyone at the table, it's the spiced chicken tajine with pumpkin and chickpeas. Slow-cooked in the tajine, with its characteristic conical lid that circulates steam, the chicken turns out juicy and tender, infused with spices; the pumpkin becomes soft and sweet; the chickpeas add body; and the dried fruits provide the contrasting note that makes it irresistible.
