I love apple desserts, don’t you? When I was a child, my favourite cake was this Apple Tart and it is still one of my favourites. Today’s recipe is quite common in Italy and there are a few variations to it. Some people cook the apples, others use them raw, some people sprinkle cinnamon on…

Grissini Torinesi
Grissini, aka breadsticks, are a weakness of mine. They originate from the Italian city of Turin, in Piedmont and they have been around for centuries! I love how crunchy they are and I often serve them wrapped in prosciutto as an appetiser or aperitivo. I even like to dip them in Nutella, when I am…
Halloween Ghost Cookies
Buttery and crisp, these Halloween Ghost Cookies are topped with fluffy ganache and cheeky chocolate chip eyes. A frightfully tasty treat for your spooky table. These Halloween ghost cookies are one of my favourite spooky treats to make at this time of year. Buttery shortbread bases are topped with whipped white chocolate ganache and finished…

Olive Bread
Since moving to Australia I have become more and more interested in baking my own bread. When I was living in Italy, buying artisanal bread was easy and convenient. I never lived too far from a bakery. In fact, come to think of it, nobody lives more than a 5 minute walk from one, at…
Nutella Yogurt Cake
A tender crumb and melted Nutella give this Nutella Yogurt Cake a chocolatey finish that keeps each bite rich and satisfying.
Rose Meringue Sandwiches
I made these Rose Meringue Sandwiches for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. The theme was “high tea” and as I was also making a Rosette Cake for the occasion, I thought of making rose shaped meringues. In Italy, bakeries or sweet shops often sell meringues, plain or dipped in chocolate and I wanted to somehow…
Nutella Palmiers
I made these Nutella Palmiers for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. As you know, I always have puff pastry for birthday parties and being Italian, Nutella cannot be skipped either! So, I decided to combine the 2 traditions and I made these deliciously crunchy treats. I added some toasted hazelnuts to them, to enhance both…

Pizza Ortolana
Want a healthy pizza that’s still delicious? Try Pizza Ortolana with roasted vegetables and mozzarella, bringing together fresh flavours in each slice. Ah, pizza. It feels like ages since I last shared a pizza recipe, and as any true lover of Italian food knows, that’s a bit of a crime. Today, I’m making up for…
Pesto Pinwheels
For parties, I always serve something made with puff pastry. It is somewhat due to my Italian heritage… I can’t remember a birthday party without puff pastry treats. We have them with anchovies, sausages, or all kinds of vegetables and even pizza ones. You name it. I love to make both sweet and savoury treats….
Earl Grey and Chocolate Shortbread Teabag Cookies
I made these cookies for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. The theme was “high tea”, so these teabag cookies were perfect for it. I had seen them on the web before and I was just waiting for the right occasion to try and make them myself. I have used my shortbread recipe and added some…
Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches
I made these Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. When I was a child, I would spend part of my summer holidays at my nonni’s house in Palermo. Not far from where they used to live, there was a place called I Cuochini (aka the little cooks) where my mum…
Rosette Cake
With dense chocolate layers, glossy ganache, and smooth buttercream rosettes, this Rosette Cake balances rich cocoa tones with a soft, even texture that stays firm from the first slice to the last.
Victoria’s 8th Birthday
On the 16th my eldest daughter turned 8!!! I cannot believe it’s been 8 years already since the first time I got to hold her in my arms. She was so tiny! <3 And now she is turning into a beautiful girl. We love you so much princess and we are all very proud…
Nutella and Chocolate Chip Wafers
Do you have some Nutella at home? These wafers are so easy to make and they require only 3 more ingredients: sugar (better if brown), 1 egg and chocolate chips. No flour required, so they are a great gluten-free option! They are really crispy and will make everyone happy. I loved them, but as I…

Torta di Mele della Nonna
Today’s recipe is literally called “Granny’s Apple Cake”, but it’s not my granny’s recipe. It is indeed, a very classic Italian style apple cake, one that my granny would have loved. I have a thing for apple cakes and pies. I find them really comforting. As it is the beginning of winter here in Australia (and…

Torta Pasqualina Umbra
Today I’d like to share with you a traditional Easter recipe from the Italian region of Umbria. Umbria is famous around the world for its hilly landscapes and old towns, such as Assisi and Orvieto to name just two. It is a wonderful area of Italy and besides being beautiful, it also boasts delicious hearty…

Soft sponge, lemon cream, and a touch of Limoncello make Delizia al Limone the perfect dessert for anyone who loves the bright flavour of fresh lemons.
Cherry Tomato Tarte Tatin
Tarte Tatins are among my favourite tarts… and I like them both sweet and savoury. The reason is simple: they obviously taste amazing with that hint of caramel on the top, but they also look a thousand bucks. Shiny, luscious and plain scrumptious. I have already shared the recipe for one of my favourites: Red…
