I love new recipes that come to life using leftovers. Doesn’t it feel great to clean out the fridge (or pantry) AND enjoy something new? Today’s recipe came about just like that. I had some overripe bananas and some leftover pumpkin purée that absolutely needed to be finished, quickly! So, I mixed them up to…
Migliaccio
Today is Mardis Gras… and in Italy it is the last day of Carnevale. Carnevale is one of the festivities I miss the most. As a child, I loved going around the streets in my town all dressed up, playing pranks and throwning coloured confetti at my friends. The best time of all was the…
Salted Caramel Lava Cakes
With Valentine’s Day coming up, what could be better than a chocolate recipe? Well, a Salted Caramel AND Chocolate recipe, right? And these lava cakes are perfect for such a special occasion. So much so that this recipe is for 2. I love all lava cakes (remember this Molten White Chocolate Pudding?) and I admit…
Angelica Cake with Nutella
Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso have declared February 5th “World Nutella Day 2015″ – “a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella”. Raise your hand if you like Nutella!!! It’s got quite a few fans in my house! So, World Nutella Day is always awelcome around…
Vanilla Cupcakes with Jasmine Buttercream
I must admit that this is one of those recipes that came about by chance. Actually, it was created out of… leftovers. I once made my Lavender and Jasmine Macarons and did not use all the Jasmine buttercream. I had no intention of throwing it out and, even though the temptation was quite strong, I resisted…
Chocolate Cake with Zabaione
Hello and Happy New Year everyone! This is my first post for 2015 and to celebrate the beginning of a new year, it just had to be a dessert… and a chocolate one at that. This is a very easy and moist chocolate cake, made with very little flour. It is not too sweet, and…
Pandoro
Christmas in Italy means Panettone or Pandoro. There’s a huge rivalry between the supporters of these two traditional sweets and very often people who like one will tell you they dislike the other.
Kitty Cat Doughnuts
I saw these on the internet while searching for ideas for my 5 year old’s kitten themed birthday party. Apparently these Kitty Cat Doughnuts are quite popular in Japan. So I set on a mission to replicate them at home. I have a little confession to make. I don’t like doughnuts. Or so I thought. …
Paw Print Cupcakes
I made these Paw Print Cupcakes for my daughter’s 5th birthday party. The theme was “kittens”, as Georgia loves cats, so these cupcakes fitted the bill perfectly. Not only, they were also very easy to make and decorate and the results were excellent. I love how they look! I made some vanilla cupcakes as a…
Playful Kitten Cake
My youngest daughter loves animals and she has a true passion for cats. So, this year, she chose to have a Kitty Cat party to celebrate her 5th birthday. I had seen some Playful Kitten Cakes around the web before and I immediately decided to try my hands at one, as they perfectly fitted the…
Georgia’s 5th Birthday
On the 1st my youngest daughter turned 5!! I cannot believe she is 5 already and that in January she will be going to “big school”. Georgia is definitely ready for it… mum, not so much. She’s the baby of the house and seeing her grow up so fast is both amazing and scary. She…
Chai Cheesecake with Pumpkin Butterscotch Sauce
A few days ago, I reviewed the Toollio, an amazing multi-function kitchen appliance. I love it and, as promised, I am going to share a few recipes that can give you a better idea of what you can do with it. Even though you can make lots of savoury dishes with the Toollio, today’s recipe is…
Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce
Sticky Date Pudding is the way Australians refer to he British Sticky Toffee Pudding. Regardless of the name, it is an amazingly delicious dessert. It is served everywhere in Australia, from top restaurants (in more or less revised versions) to the local pubs.
Nutella and Mascarpone Pie
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…
Condensed Milk and Coconut Cake
As you may know, my eldest daughter loves everything coconut at the moment, and she has a very sweet tooth (she took after her daddy in this). So she always wants something sweet in her school lunch box and I try to make something from scratch for her, so at least I know what she…
Apple and Dulce de Leche Tart
Apple tarts are my favourite cakes hands down. I love the contrast of the soft baked fruit with the crunchy pastry that you get with every bite. Besides, who doesn’t like Dulce de Leche? It goes really well with apples, just like every caramel sauce. It’s always a winning combination. Spring has just begun down…
Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce
Don’t you just love a good cheesecake? I certainly do! I particularly like today’s recipe as it is a 2 layered cheesecake. The bottom layer is a normal baked vanilla cheesecake, while the top layer also contains Greek Yogurt… this makes the cake a tad lighter to the palate and a bit fluffier on the…
Snow Cupcakes
I made these Snow Cupcakes for my daughter’s Frozen birthday party. She loves cupcakes, so they are always on her party menus… This time, I wanted to make them a little different. You see, I love making cupcakes because I think they look really beautiful and you can play around with so many flavour and…
Frozen Cake
Like all little girls her age, Victoria has a fascination with princess stories and the latest Disney movie is no exception. She fell in love with Frozen (and so did her little sister)… movie, songs, costumes… everything. She knows parts of it by heart, I am not kidding! So for her 7th birthday party, she…
Olaf Yogurt Cake
Here goes the first of the 2 Frozen themed cakes I made for Victoria’s 7th birthday. She took this one to school to celebrate with her friends. The base is a simple eggless yogurt cake: quick and delicious! I love how it turned out. It looked impressive (people were asking where we had bought it…
Victoria’s 7th Birthday
On the 16th we celebrated my eldest daughter Victoria’s 7th birthday!!! I know I always say this, but I really cannot believe how fast time flies. Victoria is turning into a beautiful and thoughtful little girl and I am trying to enjoy these years as much as I can, as I know she will soon…
Apple, Coconut and Pecan Bundt Cake
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…
