BAKED SWORDFISH

This is one of the easiest recipes to make delicious and healthy fish.  It is also the way I prefer eating swordfish as it reminds me of my childhood.  My mom would always make it this way at home and when there was swordfish for lunch or dinner I would always be happy.  This is…

QUINCE JELLY MACARONS AND MY FIRST GIVEAWAY

After making cotognata I had some left over “quince water” in which I had cooked the quinces… that liquid makes some fantastic quince jelly! But I did not want to eat the jelly by itself… I wanted to make something unique to celebrate a special occasion, but more on that later. What’s more special than…

MARINATED LAMB CUTLETS

This is a very simple lamb dish that I came up with since moving to Australia.  Lamb in Italy are much smaller than they are here and it is not easy to find some cuts of meat.  I don’t remember seing this kind of cutlets at the supermarkets in Italy… but I haven’t been back…

THYME SCENTED LEMON COOKIES

The other day I had some fresh thyme left in my kitchen and I was trying to figure out how to use it… the only thing I knew was that I wanted to make something sweet with it as I am always intrigued by the use of herbs in sweets.  I surfed the web for…

Zucchini and Ricotta Quiche

ZUCCHINI AND RICOTTA QUICHE

The other day some friends came over for lunch and I wanted to make something quick and tasty that could be prepared in advance, so that I could spend more time chit chatting with them instead of being busy in the kitchen.  I like making all sorts of quiches, which in Italy are called “torte…

FOCACCIA DI RECCO

This focaccia is typical of a little town called Recco which is near Genoa, in Liguria.  It is not the same focaccia that you would normally see.  It is not thick and fluffy, as it is not made with yeast but it hides a very tasty and creamy “secret” inside: stracchino.  Stracchino is a soft…

MACARONS WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE AND MINT GANACHE

I must admit I had never attempted to make macarons before!  Yes… you got that right!  I have always been intimidated by how “precise” you need to be.  Besides, I am not a “baker”.  Mind you, I do bake occasionally (and I am doing more so lately), but I tend to use the stove more…

HUNGARIAN SAVORY PASTRIES – SALATINI UNGHERESI

These salty pastries (called pogácsa in Hungarian) are a recipe of a dear friend of my mom’s, Judith.  She is Hungarian and used to make these often for me when I was a child.  I like them a lot and they are very versatile: perfect for an afternoon snack or as an “aperitivo” before a…

RIANATA

A while ago I published the recipe for sfincione, which can be considered to be the pizza of Palermo.  Today I am going to give you the recipe for the pizza from Trapani: rianata.  There are a few versions of this pizza, some are made only with oregano (the name rianata comes from origanata which…

ANZAC BISCUITS

This is definitely not an Italian recipe.  It is as Aussie as it gets.  But then… I am Australian too!  I found this recipe on ninemsn.com.au last year and loved it.  These biscuits are traditionally baked for the 25th of April.  This date is very special for me: for similar reasons, both Italy and Australia…

BAKED POTATOES WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

This is one of my family’s favourite side dishes.  Who doesn’t love potatoes, especially when they are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside?  The best thing is that these potatoes are not even fried, they are baked, so they are also healthy.  They go well with everything, especially meats.  I personally love…

GENOVESI ERICINE – MY FIRST GUEST POST

I have recently been invited by the charming Jill to write a guest post for her beautiful site, Mad About Macarons… She has just created a section on her site to publish recipes that require egg yolks.  The reason is simple: the more egg yolks you use, the more egg whites you are going to…

CHOCOLATE AND COCONUT TARTELETTES

Last year I was looking for a good chocolate tart recipe and I came across this Rich Chocolate Coconut Tart.  The moment I saw it, I knew I had to try it even though the shell worried me… it looked so hard to make and so delicate.  Instead it was really easy to make, so…

SPECK AND FONTINA ROLL

When we were still living in Italy, one day Clint came back from work saying: “I have eaten a fantastic thing at work today.  It was a puff pastry roll stuffed with cheese and speck.  You should try and make it at home!”.  When I heard “speck and cheese”, I was sold, he didn’t really…

LIGHT BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH LEMON SUGAR CRUST

I know there are many blueberry muffins recipes out there.  A couple of years ago I was looking for one, but I did not find exactly what I was looking for.  So I came up with this one that is really a mix of 2 or 3 recipes.  I tried to look them up on…
