A couple of months ago, my friend Sawsan from Chef in Disguise posted a beautiful tutorial on how to make home-made yogurt. Since I saw it, I knew I had to give it a try too! This was my first time at making yogurt, but I remember my mum making it often when I was…
Masala Dosa
Crisp, golden Masala Dosa with a thin, evenly cooked texture and warm spiced potato filling makes a satisfying meal served fresh from the tawa.
Dosa and Coconut Chutney
Thin Dosa and Coconut Chutney with crisp edges and a soft centre bring a gentle tang, cooked fresh for a traditional South Indian pairing.
FLOUNDER SHORTBREAD COOKIE POPS
As I have written in my previous post, yesterday was my eldest daughter’s 5th birthday. She had a small celebration with her friends at school and I made her a Little Mermaid yogurt cake to take with her. You may remember that last year I had made Hello Kitty cake pops to give to her…
THE LITTLE MERMAID YOGURT CAKE
Today is my eldest daughter’s 5th birthday. I cannot believe it’s already been 5 years since I first held her in my arms… she was so small! And now she’s growing to be a beautiful and sweet girl. I will be very busy in the next few days as we will be celebrating her birthday…
FRUIT SALAD EN PAPILLOTE – MACEDONIA AL CARTOCCIO
Our July 2012 Daring Cooks’ host was Sarah from All Our Fingers in the Pie! Sarah challenges us to learn a new cooking technique called “Cooking En Papillote” which is French and translates to “cooking in parchment”. As I already said in my Baked Feta post (the first of the recipes I created this month), I was really…
PASSION FRUIT CURD
I have to decided to set out on a mission: try and find out as many passion fruit based dishes as possible… and then cook them! Hehehehe After posting my Passion fruit and Coconut Crème Brûlée a little while ago, today I am going to share with you the recipe for a delicious Passion fruit…
SHORTBREAD AND CHOCOLATE HEARTS
I made these heart shaped cookies, to take to a charity tea party that was organised in the neighbourhood. The aim of the event was to raise money and awareness about cancer and it was also a beautiful way to socialise with our neighbours. I had planned to dip the cookies in white chocolate mixed…
Apple Strudel (Apfelstrudel / Strudel di Mele)
Fill your home with the scent of Christmas by baking Apple Strudel (Strudel di Mele), with golden pastry, warm apples, and raisins that make every slice taste like the holidays.
GÂTEAU BRETON
Bretagne is the area of France I love the most (together with Provence). I went there only once, as a child, but it was so breathtakingly beautiful that I remember it clearly. I have the memory of eating a fantastic fish soup in a restaurant in the walled city of Saint-Malo, while it was raining…
SOPAIPILLAS CON PEBRE Y PASADAS
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…
Rose Lassi
Sip something refreshing with Rose Lassi, a chilled yoghurt drink with soft floral sweetness and creamy texture, perfect for warm days or alongside richly spiced meals.
FAIRY BREAD
The first time I ever heard about “fairy bread” I was at a play-date with 2 other mums. When they explained to me what it was I found it hard to believe that someone could really go crazy for something like “that”. But let me tell you that I completely changed my mind the first…
Australian Damper
A fresh batch of Australian Damper always feels like a treat. The inside stays soft and the crust turns crisp, making it an easy loaf to serve with soup or simple spreads.
COCONUT-CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD COOKIES – THE SECRET RECIPE CLUB
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 OIL AND LEMON COOKIES
I recently stumbled upon this fantastic recipe and it got me so intrigued that I bookmarked it and decided to give it a go. I have a folder full of recipes I would like to try and it keeps getting bigger and bigger as I can’t seem to keep up! But I simply could not…
Cantucci
Crunchy, fragrant, and packed with real almond flavour, these Cantucci bring serious satisfaction in every single dunk!
Potato Rösti (Swiss Roesti)
Crispy Potato Rösti with mushroom ragout makes such a cosy and hearty meal. Fresh from the pan with those golden, crunchy edges always tastes best.
Nutella Pizza
A warm pizza base, plenty of Nutella, whipped cream, and toasted hazelnuts make this Nutella Pizza a simple dessert inspired by Italian pizzerias.
ICED ESPRESSO
I love coffee… well, I am addicted to coffee. Not to the brewed coffee but to espresso. I restrict myself to no more than 2 a day, but I could drink so much more. Only the smell of a freshly brewed espresso in the morning sets the day in the right direction. You know what…
BUCCELLATO – CUCCIDDATU
Buccellato is a Sicilian cake traditionally eaten during the holiday season, especially on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve… so it had to be featured on the Sicilian Street Food New Year’s Eve Party I organised for this month’s Foodbuzz 24×24 event! It is a ring shaped shortbread cake filled with dried figs, raisins, candied fruits,…
PAIN BRIOCHE
Pâté is one of the things I love the most and it always makes an appearance on our family table for special occasions… and this Christmas Eve was no exception. I also found a quick recipe for pain brioche, which is the ideal bread to serve pâté with… and I am sharing it with you,…
PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
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…
BUCKWHEAT BLINI WITH CRÈME FRAÎCHE AND SMOKED SALMON
Today’s recipe is a very easy one. I love blini and this is my favourite way of eating them: with crème fraîche and smoked salmon. You can also add some horseradish to the crème fraîche, for that little extra kick. Buckwheat blini are part of traditional Russian cuisine. “They are also widespread in Ukraine where…
BLUEBERRY CURD
I think I might have said this already, but growing up I never liked berries. The berries you find in Italy are often too sour for my taste buds, so I never enjoyed eating them (well, apart from the times I would actually pick them on the mountains… but that’s another story!). So I was…
SCONES
Oh no, this is not an Italian recipe. In fact, scones are unknown in Italy. A few weeks ago, I went out for high tea (again, something not Italian at all) with some girl friends (they were Italian though! ;-)) and among all sorts of yummy goodies, they served us scones with cream & strawberries…
CHOCOLATE AND ALMOND COOKIES
My mom often used to make these cookies for me when I was a child. I used to love them… but is there a child who does not like chocolate cookies? I don’t think so. But these are special, as the almond meal gives them a little extra flavour. Besides, they are really easy and…
