HALLOWEEN PUNCH
I cannot believe it is Halloween again! Before you know it, it will be Christmas time! Where does time fly?? It seems like last week that I published my Halloween Treats, instead it’s been a year already! As you may know, Halloween is not something that we celebrate in Italy, so I did not grow…
HALLOWEEN TREATS
I must admit I have never celebrated Halloween before moving to Australia. When I was a child, we did not have Halloween in Italy. We used to celebrate the 2nd of November which is “All Souls Day” (or “il giorno dei morti” as we call it). That’s the day we remember our loved ones who…

Pignoccata
Tomorrow is Mardi Gras or, as we Italians call it, Carnevale! Carnevale is a big thing in Italy and all kids dress up for almost a week and go on parades with all kinds of floats.

Ghastly Bark
Halloween is coming up again. I can’t believe how fast time flies!

Happy Halloween everyone! I cannot believe it’s the end of October already! This year has just flown! Even though I haven’t experienced this holiday while growing up, I always get excited about it.

I cannot believe it’s Carnevale time already! Didn’t we celebrate Christmas just the other day?? Anyhow, today’s recipe had to be related to this amazing festivity, which also happens to be the one I like the most. I soooo miss Carnevale… back in Italy we all dress up in masks and go around playing tricks and having…
TORTELLI DI CARNEVALE
This is a very special time of the year for all Italian children: it is “Carnevale”, the time to wear costumes and parade in the streets playing tricks on other kids and throwing coriandoli (round shaped paper confettis) and stelle filanti (similar to paper streamers) everywhere. It is like Halloween but it lasts longer (about…
CARBONE DELLA BEFANA – SWEET COAL
I thought of taking a little break from my Sicilian Street Food Party series of posts, to share this recipe with you. In Italy, Christmas holidays always end after January 6th as we celebrate the day of the Epiphany and the visitation of the Biblical Magi to the baby Jesus. That is also the last occasion…
