Suprema de pollo al horno con costra de queso y mostaza, estilo pampeano

Vegetable Sushi Maki
Vegetable maki sushi is a fully plant-based take on the Japanese roll: vinegared sushi rice spread thinly on nori, filled with avocado, cucumber, and carrot, then rolled tight with a bamboo mat and sliced clean. The technique takes a little practice — rice layer too thick, the roll won't hold — but…
Roasted Spiced Sweet Potato Airfryer
Spiced sweet potato cubes in the air fryer: smoked paprika and cumin form a flavourful crust on the sweet orange flesh, which caramelizes outside and stays creamy inside in about 20 minutes. A seasonal autumn-winter side dish that also works as a snack or bowl base.
Japanese Sponge Cheesecake
Japanese cotton cheesecake is a water-bath baked cheese cake unlike any other: stiffly beaten egg whites are folded into a cream cheese, flour, and yolk batter, giving an airy, jiggly texture halfway between a soufflé and a sponge cake. It bakes slowly in a pan surrounded by hot water and is eaten…
Intense Chocolate Brownie
This intense chocolate brownie is the purest version of the American classic: 70% dark chocolate melted with butter for that fudgy, dense texture that sets it apart from cake, with extra cocoa powder doubling the chocolate intensity and a touch of salt that sharpens every note. The secret to the…
Three Milk Cake
Tres leches cake is the moistest dessert in Latin American baking: a sponge of eggs, flour, and sugar that, straight from the oven, is slowly soaked through with a blend of condensed milk, evaporated milk, and cream. The cake absorbs every drop and takes on a pudding-like texture throughout. Topped…
Homemade Falafel
Homemade falafel is the fried chickpea fritter of the eastern Mediterranean. Unlike hummus, the chickpeas here are never cooked — soaked overnight and ground raw with parsley, cilantro, cumin, and garlic, which gives the interior that characteristic green flecked colour and the outside that…
Lebanese Tabouleh
Tabbouleh is the most refreshing salad in Lebanese mezze: fine bulgur soaked until tender and mixed with large quantities of chopped flat-leaf parsley, tomato, spring onion, mint, lemon juice and olive oil. It is really a herb salad with a little grain — the bulgur plays a supporting role. Light,…
Potato and Onion Omelette
Tortilla de patatas with onion is the most universally Spanish dish. Potatoes are poached slowly in olive oil with onion until soft but not browned, drained, and mixed with beaten eggs, then the whole thing sets in the pan over medium heat with a single flip. The debate between runny and fully set…
Cordoban Salmorejo
Salmorejo is the creamier, more concentrated cousin of gazpacho. Without cucumber or pepper, and made with more bread and tomato, it achieves a uniquely velvety texture. Córdoba proudly claims it as its own culinary heritage.
Avocado Toast with Poached Egg
Avocado toast with poached egg brings together the best of modern brunch in a quick, nutritious plate: toasted sourdough bread, avocado mashed with lemon juice and flaky salt, and a poached egg with a runny yolk made in simmering water with a dash of vinegar. Smoked paprika and chia seeds finish…
Asturian Rice Pudding
The secret to Asturian rice pudding lies in its very slow cooking and the use of whole milk freshly drawn from northern cows. Lemon zest and cinnamon are the essential aromas.
Wrinkled Potatoes with Red and Green Mojo
The secret to wrinkled potatoes lies in the salt concentration of the cooking water: so salty that it barely boils. As the water evaporates, the salt crystallizes on the skin, creating the characteristic wrinkled and slightly crunchy texture.
Lemon and Yogurt Cake
Lemon and yogurt cake is the most reliable homemade baking recipe there is: no scale needed, because everything is measured using the yogurt pot. Greek yogurt keeps the crumb moist and airy, lemon zest perfumes every bite, and the texture stays tender even the next day. It is the afternoon snack…
Original Catalan Cream
Catalan cream is distinguished from crème brûlée in that it is thickened with cornstarch instead of just egg yolks, and flavored with cinnamon and citrus zest. The caramelized sugar crust made with a blowtorch is its hallmark.
Warm Lentil Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette
The warm brown lentils absorb the mustard vinaigrette like a sponge, creating a flavorful salad with contrasting textures: creamy lentils, crunchy cucumber, and fresh tomato.
