Rooibos tea and Lavender Sorbet

ROOIBOS TEA AND LAVENDER SORBET

And 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…

Vanilla and Lemon Mini Cupcakes

VANILLA AND LEMON MINI CUPCAKES

I think mini cupcakes are among the prettiest sweets ever.  There is nothing more beautiful and elegant than small, bite sized spongy cakes covered in a coloured swirl of fluffy icing.  I only recently discovered these treats, but they quickly became a favourite of mine to bake and I often take them to parties and…

WHITE CHOCOLATE & RASPBERRY VERRINES WITH MASCARPONE & YOGURT CREAM

I often find that great recipes are born by chance (or by necessity?).  Actually, some of the best recipes, like the one I am going to post about today, get to see the light of day because I have a few things in the fridge (or freezer) that have to be finished.  I then take…

Gateau Breton

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…

Passionfruit and Coconut Creme Brulee

PASSION FRUIT & COCONUT CRÈME BRULÉE

Crème brulée is one my favourite desserts.  I love to break the thick and bittersweet caramel crust to find the silky sweet cream underneath.  I love contrasting flavours and textures in food as you find that they all melt together when you savour them giving you ONE distinctive taste.  It is a bit like all…

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…

Rose Lassi

ROSE LASSI

Today is Mother’s Day!!!  I will be celebrating this special occasion with my family and we will have lunch at our favourite Indian restaurant, Abhi’s Indian Restaurant about which I wrote a review a few months ago.  One thing that we will surely have is lassi.  My girls LOVE mango lassi and that’s the thing they…

Pavlova

PAVLOVA

The last recipe from my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” party is the Pavlova recipe.  I kept the best for last…  I have to warn you.  It is not an easy dessert to make and mine did not come out perfect either, as it did crack a bit.  Luckily the taste was not affected…

Fairy Bread

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…

Lamingtons

LAMINGTONS

Lamingtons are squares or rectangles of sponge cake, dipped in chocolate icing and coated witn desiccated coconut.  They are another iconic Australian food and I served them with tea for my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” party.  I had never made them before but was very happy I did as they were so much…

FOODBUZZ 24X24: COME HAVE SOME AUSSIE TUCKER, MATE!

Even though I am Italian, I have been living in Australia for the past 6 years.  I love this country so much that I have formally become Australian a couple of years ago and I consider myself Australian as much as Italian. Australia is a wonderful country where people from different cultural backgrounds live together. …

Gajar ka Halwa - Carrot Halwa

GAJAR KA HALWA – CARROT HALWA

Today I am going to share with you the recipe for a delicious Indian sweet: gajar ka halwa (or carrot halwa).  It is one of my husband’s favourite sweets and he has been raving about his grandmother’s carrot halwa since I can remember.  Unfortunately, he does not have his granny’s recipe, so I never made…

Gnocco Fritto

GNOCCO FRITTO

Today’s Regional Italian dish comes from the region of Emilia Romagna, an area where you find some of the best Italian food.  Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, Culatello, Parmigiano Reggiano, Tortellini, just to name a few, all come from here.  It is “foodie heaven” and I cannot recommend it enough for a taste of amazing Italian…

Salted Caramel Chocolates

SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATES

Today is Easter and Easter calls for chocolate, lots of chocolate!  We will be having Easter eggs at home, but today I want to share with you the recipe for something else: chocolates filled with salted caramel!  I love salted caramel and I still had some of the Blue Persian salt caramel sauce that I had…

Pastiera Napoletana

PASTIERA NAPOLETANA

Today I want to share with you the recipe for one of the most classic Italian Easter sweets: pastiera napoletana.  As the name suggests, it is a typical cake from the city of Naples and it is a very ancient dish, as it appears to have originated before the Christian era, when it was eaten…

Pear Ice Cream in Pear Wafer Basket with Salted Caramel Sauce

PEAR ICE CREAM IN PEAR WAFER BASKETS WITH SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE

Pear is one of my favourite fruits.  I love the fact that it comes in many different varieties and that every season has its own special pear.  I love that they are naturally sweet and refreshing.  Even though I like them so much, I had never made ice cream with them.  The other day I…

Blue Persian Salt Caramel Sauce

BLUE PERSIAN SALT CARAMEL SAUCE

My parents gave me a little bottle of Blue Persian salt when they came over on holiday and I love it.  I think it looks so beautiful, with those intense blue reflexes.  I am almost sorry to eat it! Hehe  But I am trying to put it to its best use!  This is one recipe…

Fruit Tartelettes

FRUIT TARTELETTES

The other day, I made Genovesi Ericine and had some pastry left!  I looked in the fridge and also found some crème patissière… and decided to whip up a quick dessert, one that I used to love as a child.  Whenever we had people over for lunch, they would never come empty handed and they…

Tomorrow, March 8th, we celebrate International Woman’s Day, a day to honour women around the world for their accomplishments and to remember those who still need empowerment!  What celebration would it be without a cake??  In Italy, men usually gift the women in their lives mimosa flowers for this special occasion.  Mimosa has become the…
