Rotisserie potatoes

ROTISSERIE POTATOES

These potatoes make a great side dish, especially for chicken.  I love to make them when we eat chicken wings and they are always a hit together.  Who doesn’t love roasted potatoes?  And the mix of spices in this recipe is hearty, slightly smoked and full of flavour.  Another quick and easy recipe for a…

MULTI GRAIN PANINI

My girls love bread.  They would eat bread all day long if I let them!  So, in an attempt to give them something healthier, I am baking more bread than I used to.  And I have taken up baking whole meal or multi grain breads more than white bread.  This is a very easy recipe…

WHOLE MEAL PITA

I love home made bread.  I think there is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread in the house, at any time of the day.  Maybe not many of you know, but some of the best bakers in Milan are actually of Arab origin.  And they make fantastic bread.  One of my favourite…

Banana, pear and ginger smoothie

BANANA, PEAR AND GINGER SMOOTHIE – ANOTHER AWARD AND A PIECE OF NEWS

After a delicious but calorie laden sweet, I thought of posting a healthy but just as tasty treat.  This simple and sugar free smoothie used to be my afternoon snack when I was child.  Well, to be honest my mom would not put ginger in it (this is my own twist to the recipe) as…

POLPETTONE – STUFFED MEATLOAF AND A BUNCH OF AWARDS

Everyone has his/her signature dish… and this is definitely my mother’s.  She is a very good cook and I have learnt a lot from her.  I have always liked watching her preparing food in our kitchen back in Italy and I would help her any time I had the time.  She can prepare all sorts…

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM IN PUFF PASTRY CASES

When I was a child I didn’t like sweets made with puff pastry: they would crumble so easily leaving my hands dirty and sticky.  Traditionally, Italians do not use puff pastry for sweets very often… I remember eating lots of it in France though.  Well, I have grown up and the times when I did…

Pumpkin and Barley Soup

PUMPKIN AND BARLEY SOUP

My mom used to make this pumpkin soup often in autumn and winter, when pumpkin is in season in Italy.  It is a comforting and tasty soup, perfect for a cold winter evening.  If you are vegetarian you can make it without speck.  If you do cook it with speck though, try and find the…

CHICKEN COTOLETTE WITH CHEESE AND A SHOWER OF AWARDS

This is the chicken version of my cotolette recipe with a couple of differences.  In this case I coat the chicken with flour before putting it in the egg wash and crumbing it.  And, above all, I add cheese to it.  It is a very easy dish that your kids and you will love.  This…

TUNA DIP – ANTIPASTO DI TONNO AND AN AWARD!

The first time I have ever eaten this dish, I was at a restaurant in Milan with Clint.  It was supposed to be a very good restaurant, yet we were not that impressed with it… the only dish worth remembering was this tuna dip that we had as entree.  We actually liked it so much…

AWARDS GALORE!

When I checked my blog this morning I found a comment from my fellow food blogger Priyanka from BUON APPETITO telling me that there was an award waiting for me in her blog.  That immediately put a smile on my face… who doesn’t like to receive an award?  So I went to check it out…

SFINCIONE PALERMITANO

This is another traditional Sicilian dish.  This time we are talking about Palermo.  For people who like food, Palermo is paradise.  People really enjoy their food and there are so many great dishes, that it is very hard to choose what to eat!  My dad is from this wonderful city and I have been lucky…

FIRST EVENT AND… SECOND AWARD!

As all of you know, I am Italian.  Even though I have been living in Australia for almost 5 years now, I was born and brought up in Italy.  On March 17th 2011 Italy is celebrating its 150 years of Unification, so to celebrate I thought I would host a special event on my website. …
