Flounder Shortbread Cookie Pops

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…

Mango and Passion fruit Macarons

MANGO AND PASSION FRUIT MACARONS

And here it goes… another way to use that delicious Passion fruit Curd you have in the fridge!  I have made my share of macarons in the last few months, but this was the first time I filled them with a fruit based curd.  I can tell you one thing: I loved them, and I…

Baby Shower Shortbread Cookies

BABY SHOWER SHORTBREAD COOKIES

I made these shortbread cookies for a friend’s baby shower. Her baby (a girl!) is due anytime when I write this and we can’t wait to welcome her in our little circle of friends. The baby shower colours were pink and yellow, so I decided to make some ducks, some baby clothes and bottles in…

Shortbread and Chocolate Hearts

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…

Raspberry and White Chocolate Macarons

RASPBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE MACARONS

This recipe is long over due!  I made these macarons with my mum when my parents came over for Christmas!  They were to be given to my mother’s work colleagues on her return to Italy and they were a success!  I have also been asked for the recipe… so ladies, here it goes!  Apologies for…

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

CANTUCCI

For today’s Regional Italian recipe, I want to take you back to Tuscany.  After sharing two savoury dishes (Pollo alla Cacciatora and Tuscan Cabbage Soup) from this beautiful region, today I want to show you how to make Cantucci, also known as Biscotti di Prato (cookies from the town of Prato).  The term biscotto (biscotti is the…

Chinese New Year Cookies

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Today we celebrate the Chinese New Year: 新年快乐!  I am not Chinese, nor do I have Chinese relatives, but I live in a city with a huge Chinese community, so I feel it is the right thing to celebrate this special day.  To do so, I made some special sugar cookies… they are eggless and have…

Baci di Alassio

BACI DI ALASSIO

My Regional Italian recipe series is back after the holiday break.  This week’s recipe takes us to Liguria once again.  This time, I am going to take you to the little town of Alassio, near Savona in the western area of the region.  This little town is very popular for its beautiful sea and is visited by…

Carbone della Befana - Sweet Coal

CARBONE DELLA BEFANA – SWEET COAL

I thought of taking a little break from my Sicilian Street Food Party series of posts, to share this recipe with you.  In Italy, Christmas holidays always end after January 6th as we celebrate the day of the Epiphany and the visitation of the Biblical Magi to the baby Jesus.  That is also the last occasion…

Today there won’t be any recipe on MsM… it is the time to celebrate and above all it is the time to enjoy the company of your loved ones.  My parents have been here for a couple of weeks already and we are all having a great time together.  The kids especially are having a…

SALTED CARAMEL MACARONS

This is going to be the 3rd recipe of macarons that I am sharing on my blog.  I like all of them: the ones with a White Chocolate and Mint ganache and the ones with Quince Jelly… they are all delicious, but today’s macarons are my all time favourite macarons.  I LOVE salted caramel anything…

Dark Chocolate and Macademia Nut Brownies

DARK CHOCOLATE AND MACADAMIA NUT BROWNIES

This is obviously not a typical Italian recipe and, unlike many of you, I haven’t grown up eating and baking brownies.  I have discovered them relatively late in life, but it was “love at first bite”.  And how could it not be?  I adore chocolate!  After eating them once, I tried to find a recipe…

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…

TARALLI

These could be considered the Italian equivalent to pretzels, they are that famous!  They are typical of Apulia, a region in the South of Italy, but you can also find them in the surrounding areas.  Well, nowadays you can easily find them everywhere in Italy and I often find them here too!  Anyhow… on my…

GINGERBREAD MEN

These are definitely not Italian traditional cookies, but I have always loved them and I have made them every Christmas since moving to Australia (my girls leave some on a plate for Santa to eat on Christmas Eve along with a glass of milk…).  I guess you could say it’s an “acquired” tradition in our…

Christmas in July 2011

FOODBUZZ 24×24: CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Since I moved to Australia from Italy 5 years ago I haven’t gotten used to the “reversed” seasons yet.  For someone who has spent the majority of her life in the Northern hemisphere where it is summer in July and winter in December, I have to live with the seasons reversed and believe me, it…

ADRIANO ZUMBO – MACARONS REVIEW

A couple of weeks ago I started a section on reviews.  If you have missed the first review of the series, make sure to check it out as it was about some of the best pizza in Sydney at Caffe’ Moretti.  Today I am changing topic: no pizza, no Italian food at all.  Since I…
