Rösti - Roesti

RÖSTI – ROESTI

The Daring Cooks’ February 2012 challenge was hosted by Audax & Lis and they chose to present Patties for their ease of construction, ingredients and deliciousness! We were given several recipes, and learned the different types of binders and cooking methods to produce our own tasty patties! When I read this month’s announcement I was…

NUTELLA PIZZA

Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso have declared February 5th “World Nutella Day 2012″ – “a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella”. Yay!  What a FANTASTIC day!  I know… nowadays Nutella is famous all over the world.  And that is awesome as so many people…

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

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

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

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

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…

BAGUETTES

As many of you already know I spent quite some time holidaying in France as a child.  My parents have always loved our transalpine cousins and whenever possible they would squeeze in a few days to visit France.  I wasn’t too happy about it back then… l would have preferred to visit different places… not…

PANINI AL LATTE – MILK PANINI

I guess we all have memories of our childhood birthdays… I was born in February which is often the month of Carnevale in Italy, so I used to have dress up birthday parties.  It was a lot of fun.  There would be games, prizes, music and lots of laughter!  If I think back about the…

Autumn Fruit Salad

AUTUMN FRUIT SALAD – MACEDONIA AUTUNNALE

This is actually a “non-recipe” as it does not require cooking.  I am a big fan of fruit salads and my mom would very often serve it before any dessert when we had guests over.  It is a very good palette cleanser and it can be as easy or as fancy as you like.  It…

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…

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…

Light and fluffy blueberry muffins with a lemon sugar crust topping

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…
