It's hard to find someone who doesn't like pasta, right? I'd say it's almost impossible, since there are countless varieties and it would be very rare not to find one that suits your tastes. The same goes for ravioli: this pasta can be filled with anything you can imagine, and there's even a sweet ravioli version.

If there's one dish that's loved at home, it's pasta. And this duck confit lasagna is a festive version we make very occasionally. We reserve it for special occasions, a celebration, a birthday, or even New Year's Day. The charm of this lasagna isn't just the more festive filling, but that you can say you made the pasta yourself. And that is undoubtedly always a plus.

Christmas is already just around the corner! And honestly, with the avalanche of meals and gatherings coming up, I love planning holiday menus in advance so I can get organized calmly.

This salmon pie is very easy to prepare, and has all the flavor of homemade cooking. I suggest serving the pie with two sauces: an avocado mayonnaise and an orange mousseline, which is nothing more than a mayonnaise sauce mixed with mustard and orange.

I'm a total fan of the Le Creuset tajine. Even more so when you can make such great recipes with this vegetable tajine I'm bringing you today. This dish revives the soul and takes your breath away!

I must say I'm crazy about lasagnas, in all their versions—meat, salmon and spinach, or vegetable... They all seem fantastic and delicious to me. I know each of us has a favorite dish from Italian cuisine and that at home we adapt it to our own way; this is the case with the lasagna I bring you today, a vegetable lasagna, a dish I craved all the time when I was pregnant, a simple-to-prepare yet delicious dish.

My son is an unconditional fan of macaroni and cheese, like almost all young people everywhere. My goal is always to get him to eat vegetables and more vegetables, the ones he seems increasingly unwilling to eat. That's why I come up with different versions of his favorite dishes using vegetables.

Pierogi are one of the most typical dishes of Polish cuisine. Basically, they consist of dough filled with various fillings. You could say they are quite similar to ravioli.

I love savory pies; they have always seemed very versatile to me and perfect to serve as dinner, a starter, or even as an appetizer. Also, it’s a preparation that allows us to have it ready in advance, only needing to serve it when required. I was looking for new ideas to make savory pies when I came across a sun-shaped pie on the blog Saines Gourmandises. I found it absolutely beautiful, so I had to adapt it to bring you this Autumn Sun Pie.

At home, when the cooler season arrives stews are made more often, and it is the perfect time to recall the recipe for papas en amarillo. In my homeland this very typical dish is prepared, which is very simple, tasty and economical. It has it all! It is a dish, as I tell you, very flavorful, and also eye-catching because of its colors.

With this mushroom soup with tomato we kick off the season of spoon dishes. Just into autumn it's time for a wardrobe change and also a change on the refrigerator shelves, which now hold the ingredients needed to prepare creams, stews, or legumes in a pressure cooker.
