Churro balls filled with nutella

By Leave a Comment

Difficulty 1/5

These are not only super easy to make, but they are also incredibly delicious and obsession-worthy. The churro dough goes nice and crunchy on the outside and stays soft inside… and I don’t think I have to get started on how nice nutella is, right? You could also replace it with caramel or dulce de leche. No dip needed for these as it’s contained inside! And as a contrast to other churro balls I’ve seen, since these are stuffed, you don’t get a huge bite of dough. Also, they cook better as the heat doesn’t need to get all the way to the core….

Spicy chicken wings with sour cream dip

By Leave a Comment

Difficulty 1/5

Father’s day is coming up and I had to do wings because in my family all men love them! They’re nice and spicy (adjust to your own tolerance) and compensated really well with the cool and fresh sour cream dip. I baked these, but they also do perfectly on a grill in case you’re planning a barbecue in the near future. Happy father’s day!…

Chicken Milanese with Pan-Fried Tomatoes

By 2 Comments

Difficulty 1/5

I remember clearly coming back from University with hunger as my copilot and I would ring up my home and ask if please please I could have chicken milanese for dinner. It was mas go-to meal when I was extremely hungry and I think it still is. As years went by I now love to make it but I added a twist to my home’s original version: I use panko, parmesan cheese and walnuts to bread the chicken breast… can I get an Amen?? And even though I love it with french fries, it becomes a bit too sinful sometimes, so this time I’m teaching you how to make amazing pan-fried cherry tomatoes to eliminate the need to make a tomato sauce without sacrificing the taste….

Chai Latte Crème Brûlée

By Leave a Comment

Difficulty 2/5

Crème brûlée has always been my go-to restaurant dessert whenever I can’t make up my mind. It has this beautiful crust of caramel on top and underneath it’s so nice and creamy. Today I bring you a chai latte flavoured one to show you how you can infuse flavours and aromas into the milk and cream previous to the cooking process. You can use this recipe to make coffee crème brûlée, or maybe add some allspice, star anise, green tea, orange zest, etc. The only thing I would say to be careful is to add any extra liquids, as varying the fat content can result in splitting or not setting as well….
