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 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.

Autumn arrives and with it, always hand in hand, one of the undisputed stars of the season: the pumpkin! As a small tribute, today I want to share a very easy recipe to make — a pasta dish with pumpkin and Parmesan cream that is simply delicious and that you can prepare for any occasion and with any type of pasta.

Today we're putting a twist on the classic dehydrated apple snack with a much more irresistible version: crispy apple and pear chips coated in chocolate and almond.

They're easy to make in the air fryer, with no added sugar, and combine the best of both worlds: the lightness of fruit and the indulgent touch of chocolate.

If you like boned cutlets, I'm convinced that these pork chops stuffed with goat cheese and kale will delight you. The combination of kale with the goat cheese log is very interesting, especially when warm, as it cooks. Added to the sauce that accompanies the stuffed chops, with cherry tomatoes and the flavor of shallot, it not only adds juiciness to the pork, but intensifies its flavor. Also, they're ready in no time, making them a great option for any weeknight dinner.
