Risotto with shrimps and chanterelle

These days I had the craving for risotto. I will share with you this recipe, it is one of my favorites.

Apricot salad with serrano ham and mozzarella

It has been a long time since I didn't post a new recipe. This time I am preparing a very fast, fresh and delicious apricot salad with serrano ham and mozzarella. 

Chicken stew with mushrooms and zucchini

In these cold days (I live in Helsinki) I always like to prepare stews. This recipe with chicken, mushrooms, zucchini and oriental spices gives me a lot of energy with its warm flavor.

Fillet of beef with mushrooms

This plate reminds me the countryside flavor, with mushrooms, potatoes, meat. For me is very basic and delicious combination. The ingredients are easy to find and this recipe is fast to make but the success is to carefully follow all the steps.

Chicken and orange salad

Fresh and very testy salad! I like this salad because it is simple and easy to prepare and the combination of chicken, orange, almonds and pumping seeds is amazing.

Home made hamburgers

Usually I prefer to prepare my own hamburgers than buying them at a fast food place or market. I know if you prepare them at home it will be more work, but in the end they taste better and you can have a healthier hamburger with good ingredients. This recipe takes a bit more time but the result will be really good.

Apple salad with goat cheese and honey dressing

This month I have prepared this salad twice. I found this recipe in a Spanish blog and I decide to give it a try and the result was really good. My friends liked it a lot because this salad is easy to eat and the flavors and ingredients are very familiar... with this salad it is very difficult to fail :).

Blueberry muffins

Every Sunday morning I woke up with this craving to eat freshly baked muffins. I was trying many recipes and looking for the best and after all I found the correct combination and the results are amazingly good, with tender and delicious blueberry muffins.

Tuna tataki with ajoblanco

This week I decided to prepare tuna with a Japanese and Spanish touch. I found this recipe in a Spanish blog and I modified it a bit. It was easy to prepare and delicious.
Sometimes we have to break the routine and try different kind of food. Many people don't like raw fish but with this recipe you can try something different because this tuna it is not completely raw and it cooks with the sauce.

Fried chicken breast with lemon yogurt sauce

Often when we prepare chicken breast, it ends up dry and without much flavor. With this recipe you can convert a boring breast into a delicious and tender marinated chicken with a refreshing lemon yogurt sauce.

The Chocolate cake

This chocolate cake has a long history but I will simplify it. The fist time I tried this cake was in Japan in a friend's house. She found this recipe in a Peruvian cooking book and for first time in my life I really enjoyed a chocolate cake. Inside it is moist and it isn't too sweet. When we left Japan my friend (Chavelita) gave us the Peruvian recipe book, and now it is my precious :).

Spicy Rucola salad

This week I had a craving to eat a fresh and spicy salad. I found this recipe in my favorite cooking book. The combination of rucola, kiwi, chile, corn and garlic is really special and these, when mixed, give you a delicious sweet and spicy experience.

Mashed potato my way

This mashed potatoes are really tasty and it can match very well with steaks, fish or with meats with
strong sauce. It is fast and easy to prepare.

Stuffed pork sirloin

This time I have prepared stuffed pork sirloin. It is a bit difficult but is a delicious and looks really nice on the plate. You can prepare this recipe in special occasions and the cost of the ingredients is not really expensive.

Spinach salad with brie and walnuts

Some friends visited us last weekend and I decided to prepare a different salad for this occasion.

Pork Goulash

Today I prepared goulash. It easy and really good. These kind of stews make me feel with extra energy and good mood because it reminds me about those days with my family at home in winter and my mother's food. This Goulash is good for these cold days when you need some warm food.

Chicken breasts with coconut cream

These days we need some more energy because the autumn is already here (Helsinki). This recipe is another of my favorites. I also like this recipe because you can do it in short time and you can have a good and delicious meal. It is a bit spicy though.

Mushroom salad with lemon dressing

This is one of my favorite salads. I found this recipe in an italian cooking book and I like it a lot. I have found really nice recipes in this book.

The mushroom salad is fresh and the combination between the lemon souse and the raw mushroom is absolutely fantastic plus parmesan cheese and the walnuts, all this ingredients make a delicious experience and you can taste each flavor united by lemon sauce. 

Baked potatoes

I like to eat these potatoes because they are really tasty. Just cut them and put in the oven. And you don't need to use too much oil so they are healthier and with less fat than fried potatoes.

Home-made mayonnaise

I always prepare mayonnaise at home. I prefer it than the mayonnaise from the supermarket although it has a lot of oil, but it tastes much better and anyway, I don't eat it every day :-)
