Stuffed Apple… not a dessert.

Try to visualise me as Eve for a second; hey... with clothes on, ok? I'm not that young anymore ;D. See? we are in a wonderful garden, full of wet gorgeous huge and green plants, sunlight sifting through the pines... We are leaning on this apple tree and the aroma ...

Mini Chocolate Cakes with Almonds and Orange

Chocolate has always been a weakness of mine, but I had it under control; I just had to look to the other side of the supermarket's aisle when going shopping... but lately, I'm reading all this new stuff about it... things such as: it's not demonstrated that chocolate causes acne, ...

Wheat flour and organic Noodles with Rabbit

I love cooking "fideus a la cassola" or paella on weekends for lunch, when there's plenty of time and we start eating between 15:00 and 16:00... There is nothing more relaxing than being in the kitchen with my thoughts, preparing the dishes for the family with some music on the ...

Duck with Pears aromatized with anise

Would you (American readers) consider cooking duck instead of turkey this coming Thanksgiving? Or is it part of the tradition to eat turkey on a day like this? Even though, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, we do celebrate Christmas and I'm starting to sharpen my knives and bring the huge pots and ...

Sobrassada Stuffed Squid

Sobrassada Stuffed Squid... the 3 S... like in Superb, Savory and Seasonal! Yes, it might look a bit scary, but this size of squid is far from making me swim faster. I would have more doubts if I bumped into one of those super large ones from deep deep inside the ...

Lentils Stew with Cod and Potatoes

A lentils stew is always so hearty and comforting. I love them so much that I devour them in no time. I don't give the 20 minutes my brain needs to process I'm full, and at minute 10 I'm already having my second plate. Lentils make me behave like Winnie ...

Morcilla and Pumpkin Risotto

My monument to the Italian Risotto! What a delicious dish it is... that flavored creamy rice can make parents and kids delight. Those who follow this blog know about my rice weakness. I can't help it... when I see a rice dish in a restaurant menu; I have to taste ...

Chocolate Cookies

Yes, I baked a batch of cookies! And yes, they were absolutely delicious... all that butter, all that sugar, all that chocolate... I'm still drooling. Each cookie is a tone of calories but, who thinks about the bikini operation now? Ups, yes the southern hemisphere... but tell me, is one ...

Empanadillas de atún – Tuna patties

There must be something in the tuna... is this an obsession? Two dishes in a row with tuna... do you believe the body is wise and tells us what we need to eat? If so, why does it sometimes tell me to eat a chips' bag?  Whatever the answer is; ...

Fresh Tuna in Escabeche (pickle)

I went to my favourite fish shop and fell in love with a wonderful piece of fresh tuna. It wasn't my first choice; in fact I had planned a white fish menu but I might have both: grilled white fish and blue fish in a pickle... or as we say ...
