If the brookie, the mix of brownie and cookie, has earned a place in dessert recipe books, this brownie with cheesecake and raspberries is sure to claim a privileged spot on the podium of irresistible combinations. Although it may seem that combining two recipes as different as these at first glance is not a good idea, I promise you that bringing these two classics together results in an incredible dessert.

During Holy Week and Easter, recipes such as cod omelette once again take centre stage in many kitchens. Cod is one of those ingredients closely linked to tradition, yet still perfectly relevant today: versatile, flavourful and ideal for preparing simple dishes that suit these days.

There are recipes that, when you try them for the first time, surprise you with how simple they are… and how good they taste. These buttermilk biscuits are exactly that: small pieces of dough, golden on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, that are part of the most traditional cuisine in the United States.

Today I bring you a quick, comforting recipe, perfect for enjoying a creamy coffee with a very interesting spiced touch. This spiced date latte macchiato has come home to stay, because it is very easy to make and ready in no time. As soon as the craving hits, you’ll be enjoying this delicious drink in just a few minutes.

I love this recipe, and I encourage you to make it at home!  This braised chicken with Roquefort sauce is one of those recipes where you get spectacular results with very little effort: nicely browned chicken fillets and a creamy, bold, flavor-packed sauce that comes together almost at the same time.

There are days when what you crave is a homemade zucchini soup, warm, quick and comforting… but without ending up with the typical "smooth and that's it" soup. I make this zucchini soup recipe all the time at home because it has flavor, that creamy, comforting texture, and no fuss. Because it’s made super quickly!

For me, without a doubt, homemade crema catalana is much more than a dessert. This crema catalana recipe is home, tradition, and family. Its flavor has stayed in my memory since I was very small and, to this day, it remains a festive dessert that fills me with nostalgic happiness with every spoonful.

If you'd like to make a homemade terrine with a special touch, this meat and pistachio pâté with cognac will delight you. Inspired by classic rustic pork and chicken terrines, it combines smooth textures with the crunchy note of pistachios and the fruity flavor of cherries macerated in cognac.

If there is a waste-not cake that succeeds like few others, it’s Banana bread, which isn’t a bread nor does it use baker’s yeast, but it does include very ripe bananas. This loaf is delicious and very moist, keeps wonderfully for several days (if you’re lucky enough that it doesn’t get devoured at home), and is ideal for using up those bananas that, being so ripe, look like jam.

This easy, healthy recipe is a real find, and the result couldn’t be tastier. The vegan stir-fry of crispy tofu and asparagus in a wok is ready in no time and I promise you’ll be licking your fingers. Cooked in an Asian style with a delicious sauce where ginger adds a fresh, slightly spicy touch, this stir-fry is a great, very healthy option to add to the weekly menu for any lunch or dinner.

If there is one staple at home, it is undoubtedly pasta with tomato sauce. Young and old alike enjoy a good plate of homemade fresh pasta with natural tomato sauce. If you are looking for an easy and quick recipe for any meal, these spaghetti with tomato and crispy capers that I am sharing with you tick all the boxes. Preparing this dish is not difficult at all and the result is delicious. If you also feel like making fresh pasta at home, you will earn a round of applause, although with this homemade tomato sauce any pasta tastes absolutely wonderful.
