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…
Three-Ingredient Nutella Doughnuts
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
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…
Yogurt and Nutella Ciambellone
Today I want to share with you a classic Italian recipe: Yogurt and Nutella Ciambellone. Ciambellone literally means “big doughnut” and you can easily see why… It is a classic Italian cake and we usually eat it for breakfast. It is soft and moist and it is relatively healthier than other cakes as it does…
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…
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Pizza Ortolana
I haven’t posted a pizza recipe in way too long! So, today I am sharing my recipe for a Pizza Ortolana. Ortolano in italian means “from the vegetable patch”. It is a great vegetarian pizza and a somewhat healthier option as it’s made with grilled eggplant, roasted bell pepper and artichoke hearts. I recently read…
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
I made this cake for my eldest daughter’s birthday party. As she turned 8, she wanted something a little bit more “grown up” than the usual fondant cakes. The theme of the party was “high tea”, so I though that a Rosette Cake would do the trick. This was my first Rosette cake and my…
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…
Pumpkin Rolls
Tt is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
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…
Delizia al Limone (Italian Lemon Delight)
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…
Pain au Chocolat
Last year I shared with you the recipes for how to make the perfect French Croissants and Pain aux Raisins. Well… today I am back to show you how to make the missing item to have on a French breakfast table: Pain au Chocolat, my kids’ favourite! I made these when I made croissants and pain…
Melting Moments with Passion fruit Buttercream
After a very Italian recipe, today I am back with something from my new country. I have discovered these amazing cookies only recently and I simply adore them. Melting Moments do really melt in your mouth, the moment you take a bite! They are similar to shortbread, but they are even more buttery and delicate. …
Swordfish Impanata
Today’s dish is another one of my Sicilian recipes: Swordfish Impanata. Impanata is Italian for empanada and they are basically the same thing: pastry with a filling. Unlike the South American empanadas, this Sicilian version is made like a pie and portioned only after cooking. You shouldn’t be surprised to find such a dish in…
