Pollastre amb bolets translates from Catalan as "chicken with mushrooms". It is a traditional Catalan comfort food featuring chicken slowly cooked in a casserole with local wild mushrooms, garlic, herbs, and a splash of wine or/and brandy.
A picada, often referred to as the "Catalan pesto," is a traditional Catalan paste of crushed toasted nuts (almonds and hazelnuts are standard), garlic, and a little olive oil with other possible additions like bread, saffron, chocolate, parsley, etc., used to thicken and flavour the sauce without relying on heavy cream or flour.

Make the best of cherry season with this vibrant herby salad with a simple tangy lemon dressing. Instead of lettuce, I used a lot of herbs as the base with plump, juicy, in-season cherries, resulting a bright and zesty salad that you can enjoy as a light lunch paired with some homemade bread or as a side to go with some grilled meat. Besides mint, parsley and celery used in this recipe, cilantro, basil, spring onions, chives, and arugula are all great too.

These raisin pecan buns are soft, mildly sweet dough braided with a spiced filling made with rum-soaked raisins and pecans. They are a decadent breakfast treat or afternoon snack best served warm right out of the oven. Instead of raisins and pecans, you can use dried cranberries and walnuts. No rum, no problem, just use orange juice or water.

This crunchy and easy red Belgian endive salad with cantaloupe and baby spinach is made extra special by using umami-packed anchoy in the dressing! The delicately bitter and crispy bite of red Belgian endive leaves balances perfectly with the juicy sweetness of cantaloupe, while toasted walnuts add a satisfying, earthy crunch. It’s perfect for a starter or light lunch. Use radicchio or even white Belgian endives if you can’t find the red one.

A soft, mildy sweet yeasted dough, swirled with a earthy, nutty poppyseed filling and topped with a thin sprinkle of buttery streusel, these twisted poppy streusel buns are perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea, or picnic. The streusel is very popular here and we love it for a nice crunch, but you can skip it and glaze the buns with a lemon icing instead.

Pillowy soft, gooey-in-the-middle, smothered in pistachio cream cheese frosting with a few crunchy pistachios on top, you can never get enough of them. The dough is a simple yeast dough made with flour, sugar, milk and yeast. To give it a bit more flavour, I used homemade vanilla sugar to the dough. The milk should be warm, but must not exceed 38C/100F degrees, or it will kill the yeast and your dough won't rise. Enjoy these pistachio buns straight from the oven while they are still light, fluffy and wonderfully moist. Pack them in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them individually and defrost them when you need some sweet treat.

Preserved lemons offer a unique salty, tangy, and subtly sweet flavour that works well with poultry, seafood, lamb, and vegetables. To make the marinade, you just dump everything in your blender or processor and blend everything until smooth. Use it to marinate chicken for 1-2 hours. I wouldn’t marinate them longer than 6 hours as acidity in lemon could cook the chicken and change the texture if you leave them too long. The marinade made with preserved lemon gives chicken a unique and mouthwatering intensity of citrus flavour with less sharp acidity than fresh lemon.

This aromatic bread gets its distinctive flavour from the addition of finely chopped wild garlic, which not only adds a fantastic, mild, and sweet garlicky flavour to the loaf, but it is also a nutrient-dense "superfood" with numerous health benefits. With spelt flour, milk and Parmigiano Reggiano, it turns out wonderfully hearty and moist. Best of all: it requires no yeast at all and can be mixed together with baking powder in just a few minutes. Whether for breakfast, as a side dish for a barbecue, or simply spread with butter – this quick bread is a real treat for all wild garlic fans!
