ACCELGAS CREAM WITH LACON
A colorful and tasty puree, far from the green-dead color that the one they gave us in the school cafeteria had.
If you still have trauma, try adding a little ham to each spoonful.
CHULETILLAS DE TERNASCO A LA VILLEROI DE ROMERO
If you add a villeroi to some lamb chops from Aragon, the result is an easy platter to make.
In addition, the touch that the milk infused with rosemary gives to the béchamel makes it even more irresistible.
MUFFIN
Why buy cupcakes when they are so easy to make?
These queens of breakfast and snack can be adapted to our taste knowing a pinch of science.

Enjoying it is mandatory, uploading the photo to Instagram, almost.
CACIO E PEPE
The '
cacio e pepe
' is a classic of Italian minimalist cuisine.
Chef José Andrés prepares it -sacrilege! - in the microwave, and his version -surprise! - is a smash hit.

The recipe is somewhat laborious, but perfect for celebrations and special occasions.
DULCE DE LECHE ALFAJORES
These sweets, of Arab heritage and typical of some regions of Spain, traveled to Argentina and there they gave them a personal touch: put them in the form of a sandwich and add their much loved dulce de leche.
Thursday February 4
BRANDADE OF COD
Cod is in season.
If instead of eating it in a stew you prefer to spread it on good bread, you can prepare it in the form of brandade.
POLENTA WITH LEMON AND RUCULA
If you add vegetables and citrus to give it a point of freshness, polenta can be perfectly a summer dish.
The Parmesan thing is less seasonal, but it is impossible to deny its charms.
SEASONAL FRUIT: MANDARIN
Okay: the smell of tangerines is not easy to remove from the fingers, but it is a lesser evil compared to its juiciness.
Friday February 5
MADAME DU BARRY CAULIFLOWER CREAM
A silky cream with cauliflower as the protagonist, with an unbeatable texture thanks to the cream, butter and egg yolk and the delicate flavor that is achieved by steaming the cabbage.
HORSES WITH LEMON AND CHIVES
The only difficulty this dish has is removing the thorns from the mackerel.
If you buy them clean, this recipe is made in a flash and it's yummy.

We are sorry to tell you that oranges do not cure colds, but they are still very tasty.

Chinese and Caribbean cuisine merged after the abolition of African slavery in the colonies, and ingredients like pineapple, rum and soy have been playing around in delicious dishes like this ever since.
MANDARIN AND ALMOND CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE
The citrus peel gives it a very appropriate citrus aftertaste in a cake with so much almond and sugar.
