Today’s recipe is a spur of the moment kind of recipe. I had some fresh pineapple in the fridge and some butterscotch sauce leftover from another dish and I knew they would taste delicious together. So, I came up with a quick dessert: pineapple and butterscotch crumble. We all loved it. The slight tanginess of…
PEACH TIRAMISU
Tiramisù is one of my favourite desserts ever. I know I still have to share with you my recipe for the classic coffee Tiramisù, but today I decided to post a less classic recipe. This Tiramisù is surely not a classic, but it is still pretty delicious. It is also kids friendly, which is quite…
NUTELLA TARTS
I love leftovers. I really do. What I love the most about them is the possibility to create something completely new out of something old. It is a bit like giving a second chance or a new life to something that many consider useless or unworthy. I also like the fact that leftovers can easily…
LEMON CHEESECAKE BARS
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…
BUTTERFLY CUPCAKES
My eldest daughter requested some cupcakes for her Tinkerbell birthday party. I love cupcakes, I think they are the cutest little things, but I was making a cake covered with fondant, serving marshmallows, chocolate and lots of other sugary items already. The thought of making frosted cupcakes too, was not really appealing to me. I…
TINKERBELL CAKE
My eldest daughter Victoria loves Tinkerbell… she has all 4 movies and watches them endlessly together with her little sister. They sit together on the couch, under a blanket and watch these movies with great pleasure. When the time to choose her birthday cake came, she requested a “Tinky Cake”. I immediately decided to make…
VICTORIA’S 6TH BIRTHDAY
On the 16th my eldest daughter turned 6!!! I cannot believe how fast time flies. Before I had kids, a year seemed to last forever… now it’s finished before I even get used to saying “Victoria is 5”!!! She is turning into a precious little girl and she can look so “grown up” at times……
RICOTTA CROSTATA
After showing you how easy it is to make “ricotta” at home, I thought I would also show you an additional way to cook with it. I love ricotta, both in sweet and savoury dishes. Sicilians are famous for their ricotta desserts and I must admit I love sweet ricotta. It is lighter (also in…
CHERRY CLAFOUTIS
Not too long ago I shared my recipe for Far Breton, a baked custard-like French dessert. I remember saying that it was quite similar to clafoutis, another classic French dessert… so here goes my Cherry Clafoutis recipe, so you can make them both and compare them, if you wish! 🙂 I like them both equally. …
FAR BRETON
Today I want to share with you the recipe of a French dessert: Far Breton. As you can easily guess from the name, it is a traditional cake from Brittany and it is quite similar to a clafoutis as it is an egg-and-milk custard with flour added. It is usually made plain, with raisins or…
CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE MINI CUPCAKES
If you follow this site more or less regularly, you already know that I love small desserts… I love the fact that they are (almost) guilt free and even more I love the fact that you can eat 2 or 3 different desserts for the calories of a single big one. You see, I love…
SPICED BANANA UPSIDE DOWN CAKE – BOLO DE BANANA
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…
PASSION FRUIT CURD AND LIME TARTS
I had some pasta frolla dough and some Passion fruit Curd sitting in my freezer and I could not wait to use them up… together! You see, pasta frolla is the Italian pie crust that we use to make crostata or simple cookies. So the pairing was really very easy. I just cooked the tarts…
STRAWBERRY CRUMBLE BARS
I know I have already said this, but how hard is it to get adjusted to living with inverted seasons?? It is so weird to think of Christmas as a summer holiday or Easter as an autumn holiday… in the same way, April reminds me of spring, sunshine and… strawberries. So, even though it is…
CASSATA SICILIANA
Happy Easter everyone!!! Today I want to share with you my family’s recipe for the most iconic Sicilian cake: Cassata! It is a delicious dessert made with sponge cake, filled with sweet ricotta and chocolate and decorated with candied fruits and royal icing. Even though nowadays you can buy a cassata throughout the year, it…
HOT CROSS BUN CUPCAKES
How cute are these?? That was my reaction when I first saw these beauties over at Not Quite Nigella’s site! Lorraine always has amazing ideas and this was one that stuck to my mind. I saw them last Easter and knew then that I HAD to make them. You see, I discovered hot cross buns…
ROASTED CHERRY BROWNIES
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. Each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn…
RICOTTA, PEAR AND HAZELNUT VERRINES
I came across this recipe while looking for a new way to finish off some pears I had left over on my kitchen counter. I love all kinds of mousses and little servings… they are not completely “guilt-free”, but they surely are better than a huge slice of cake (not that there’s anything wrong with…
PANETTONE
Merry Christmas everybody! I know you will be very busy in your kitchens today (or at the malls, getting your last minute Christmas shopping done!), but I just could not stop myself from sharing this special recipe with all of you today: Panettone!
PEPPA PIG CHOCOLATE & VANILLA CUPCAKES
These are the cupcakes I made for my daughter’s birthday party. My kids have a very sweet tooth (they took this after their daddy! ;-P), so cupcakes are a must for their birthday parties. I love making them as I have great fun, especially deciding on the decorations and colours. I was not very adventurous…
PEPPA PIG CAKE
My little Georgia is in the Peppa Pig phase… she adores it and would watch it all day long on TV if I let her… So choosing a theme for her 3rd birthday party was quite easy! I immediately decided to make a fondant cake with an image of Peppa Pig on the top. I…
GEORGIA’S 3RD BIRTHDAY
On the 1st my youngest daughter turned 3 and I have been quite busy organising her birthday party. This was also the first time that her nonni were physically present for her birthday, so it was even more exciting for everyone! Yes! My parents are visiting us from Italy and we are having a great…
