And to make it even better, I'll tell you we're going to serve it with a cheddar cheese sauce. Yes, yes, just what you're thinking: for properly dunking the waffle!
How to Make an Authentic Moroccan Tea
Today Julio shows us how to make an authentic Moroccan tea, a wonderfully comforting sweet tea. Besides being comforting because it's served hot, it proves to be a very healthy drink (especially if we control the sweetness, as we do in our recipe).
Cheese, shiitake and cauliflower crepes
This coming February 2nd is International Crepe Day, and what better way to celebrate than by making a fabulous crepe for the family? Making crepes is one of the easiest things in the kitchen, and you can make them with whichever combination you like best. Now, I encourage you to prepare them with one of my favorite crepe fillings: cheese, mushrooms, and cauliflower crepes.
Honey and Spice Bread
With the cold that accompanies us at this time of year, I can’t think of a better plan than turning on the oven and making some treat we can then enjoy with the family (and no, you can’t eat it all without sharing, huh? We know each other, hehe). And one of my latest discoveries has been this delicious honey and spice bread.
Low-Temperature Cod al Pilpil with Quince
Today we bring a 5-star Michelin recipe. It's a cod in quince pilpil that, in fact, is really easy to make, but the result is spectacular.
Chocolate cake with olive oil and chocolate ganache
I discovered long ago that pure cocoa and oil work very well. Personally, I love cakes made with butter, but olive oil gives an unmatched flavor and texture to cocoa cakes.
Cannelés, authentic recipe for French pastries
These French pastries called Cannelés have always been one of my little treats. I used to buy them in Saint-Jean-de-Luz when we went for the day. They originate from the beautiful city of Bordeaux but are commonly found throughout France.
Roast turkey with chestnuts and mushrooms
The recipes for roast chicken or roast turkey are, without a doubt, among the easiest to prepare and some of the most impressive to present at the table. It's as simple as placing the main piece in the pot accompanied by those elements that will give it flavor (herbs and spices), a good glug of oil and, from there, the oven will do all the work.
Potato and Squid Stew in a Casserole
At this time of year and after days of bingeing I always need a comforting stew that's not heavy, and this potato stew with choco or squid is very popular at home, and the best part is it's easy to make.
2019 Recap and Top 10 Recipes!
I don't know if curiosity grabs you as much as it does me, but when the end of the year arrives I think of those TV recap shows that show everything that's happened over the past months. In my case, in the case of Claudia&Julia, what I think about is everything we've done and achieved. This year, honestly, we haven't stopped! Let's recap...
Traditional Aranese cream
I don't know if you're familiar with the typical Aranese cream from the Vall de Arán. It's a custard similar to crème brûlée or crema catalana, but here vanilla essence is added instead of cinnamon and lemon. In some places I've also tried it with a touch of anise.
Christmas cake
Christmas cake is to a British Christmas what turrón is to a Spanish one. There’s hardly a home where it isn’t present; when it comes to these things, the English are as traditional as they come. It’s a fairly hefty cake, made with dried fruits and nuts galore, and it’s usually soaked in liquor. And I say "usually" because some prefer to savor the fruit without it being masked by the alcohol. I love the touch of alcohol in this cake—specifically cognac. I’m a bit of a lush, what can I say.
