If I'm completely honest, the only problem I can find with these mascarpone and raspberry jam crêpes is that they're addictive! I can't imagine a simpler or  more delicious breakfast. I think they're ideal for any Sunday, but they seem absolutely perfect for those Sundays when laziness keeps you in your pyjamas until almost lunchtime.  

These prawns with paprika, garlic, and white wine are one of those recipes that can be made in very little time and are always tempting. They have lots of flavor, an intense but balanced sauce, and that slightly spicy touch that makes it hard to resist dipping in bread.

There are recipes worth always having on hand, and for me this fried rice with egg, sun-dried tomatoes, and black olives is one of them. It comes together in just a few minutes, allows for countless variations, and is perfect for using up that leftover cooked rice from the day before.

Easy, healthy and full of flavour, this stir-fried vegetable dish with a touch of ginger is an excellent vegan recipe. Not only is it perfect for impressing everyone at the table with a delicious dish, but it is also the best way to combine and cook the vegetables you like most or simply use whatever you have in the fridge. And if you add a few mushrooms, they will undoubtedly round off the stir-fry beautifully.

If baked apples with a little cinnamon are an easy and delicious dessert, this slightly more elaborate version I’m bringing you today comes close to excellence. If you want to impress your guests, these oven-baked apples stuffed with spiced compote and crunchy crumble will earn you an enthusiastic round of applause as soon as they taste them.

Steamed lemon hake is one of those recipes that show that cooking light does not mean giving up flavor. It is a simple, healthy dish that is truly quick to prepare (done in 10-12 minutes!), perfect for any time of year and for anyone looking to enjoy tender, juicy fish with very few ingredients.

The creamy chickpea recipe with spices and coconut milk (Balti-style) that I bring you today is a dish as aromatic and flavorful as it is quick to prepare. I assure you that you won't take even half an hour to cook it, and eating it is a true pleasure. This chickpea curry "Balti-style" is one of my favorite stews, because it saves me on days when I have little time to cook, but it's also a perfect recipe for more leisurely lunches or dinners, when I can enjoy all its nuances at my own pace.

There are combinations that surprise from the very first sip, and this is one of them. If you like coffee and are one of those who eagerly await horchata season, you have to try this blend. The result is a creamy, very refreshing drink with the perfect balance between the slight bitterness of coffee and the natural sweetness of a good homemade horchata.
