Claudia&Julia's Blog

Those of you who follow us regularly already know that we like traditional cooking, the slow-simmering kind, making doughs at home and doing things with care. Maybe that’s why we have always felt very close to Julia Child’s cooking. Today it’s Laura, from the blog Because, who tells us about her best-known work, the book The Art of French Cooking.

La autora de Sabores de Colores, Loreto, nos trae hoy una receta 100% otoñal, tanto por los ingredientes que usa como por el color que aporta a la mesa: con la combinación de los colores tostados de las setas y el rojo de las mini-cocottes, nos recuerdas los coloridos tonos de los bosques en esta época. La receta es muy fácil de elaborar, pero consigue un resultado que enamorará a todo aquél que lo pruebe. ¡Asegurado!

At the doorstep of November we can already see Christmas approaching. Since many of us like to start thinking ahead and gathering ideas to make the most of the Holidays, Carolina, from the blog La cocina de Carolina, is giving us a taste with these cookies—100% Christmas air! Although you know as well as I do that you can start making these cookies right now, because they are as distinctive as they are delicious. Don't resist!

There are many apple pie recipes, each with its own character and many truly delicious. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it; it's one of my favorites.

We choose every product in the shop with great care. Each one has its reason for being: some for their materials and robustness, others because we consider them a good option for those who don’t want very heavy products, some because we saw them one day in a store window and didn’t stop looking for them until we found them... And when you make a selection with so much care, the project becomes even more intimate.

Our recipe collection couldn't be missing the cake that Virginia, author of Sweet&Sour, prepares for us today: the chiffon cake is a cake that, like good fashions, is making a strong comeback! It's prepared in the Angel Food Cake pan, so take note because you now have another "must-try recipe" for your list!

Every day more people are daring to make pasta at home. You choose the ingredients you use, enjoy making it, it’s fresh and tastes better. Although I think the best part is something else: the surprise you get the first day you try to make it, when you discover it’s much easier than it seems.

In my last post I talked about the three types of blades we can find in kitchen knives and the pros and cons of each: ceramic, carbon steel, and stainless steel (the most popular).

Returning to the question we posed at the beginning of the previous post—which knives to buy—and having already talked about ceramic and carbon steel options, I’d like to explain the different types of stainless steel knives you can find on the market and how to choose the one that best suits our needs.

Hoy Miriam, autora de El Invitado de Invierno, nos trae una receta de pollo con verduras, preparada en una sartén tradicional de hierro y buscando el atractivo de la receta en la forma de cortar las verduras: con la ayuda del spirelli, consigue estos espirales que hacen la receta original y nos recuerdan a los noodles también típicos de la cocina asiática. Con su toque picante, es una receta rica rica, que no puedes dejar de probar!

This pineapple cake is one of the first I learned to make several years ago. It has ended up becoming a true classic in my kitchen. That's why I want to share it with all of you. It's not very common to see a pineapple cake... so I recommend you try making it and tell me what you thought.

We receive many inquiries about which kitchen knives to buy, since it can sometimes be hard to tell the difference between some models or which one suits our type of cooking best. There are many options and I think it's important to choose well: it's a tool we'll use almost daily for many years. Also, the difference between a good knife and an average knife is significant; it's worth having good knives and giving them proper care so you can work comfortably and safely.

I love autumn! I love feeling the morning chill when I step out of the house while thinking about how much I missed it. There's another feeling I enjoy too, and that's the feeling of those comforting dishes that help you ward off the cold.
