Marzipan Lambs

Marzipan Lambs

Today’s recipe is a classic Sicilian sweet that is made and eaten to celebrate Easter. In Italian these delicious treats are called Pecorelle di Pasqua or Agnelli Pasquali which literally mean Easter Lambs. As they are made out of marzipan, I thought that Marzipan Lambs would be a better translation… at the end of the…

Honey Hard Candy

Honey Hard Candy

Have you ever made candy? I have made caramel and sugar decorations (remember my Frozen cake?) and even lollipops, but I had never made flavoured hard candy before. I got the idea when I had my last cold with a terrible sore throat. I used to buy honey candy in Italy and I suddenly felt…

Cajun Seasoning

Cajun Seasoning

Today’s post is not a complicated recipe, but it is a very useful one for people who do not live in the USA and don’t have access to store bought Cajun seasoning but still want to enjoy the delicious dishes you can make with it. Even if you can buy the ready made mix, it’s…

Home-made Grapefruit Liqueur

Home-made Mustard

Home-made Mustard

For the month of December Jenni from The Gingered Whisk challenged us to make our own condiments. Ketchup, Mayo, hot sauce… nothing is too challenging for the daring cooks. Ah condiments! Growing up in Italy, I never really used/ate any of them, apart from Mayo and Ketchup. They are not really part of Italian cuisine, but…

Goat's Milk Ricotta

Goat’s Milk Ricotta

I really enjoy making my own ricotta and mascarpone at home. You see, in Italy these ingredients are a staple and you find excellent quality products at the supermarket. Here in Australia things are different. As the local Italian community is quite big, these cheeses are indeed sold at the stores, but their quality varies. While…

Marinated Fresh Anchovies

Marinated Fresh Anchovies

Marinated Fresh Anchovies, known as Alici marinate in Italian, are a classic Italian appetiser. You can find this dish in almost any restaurant and I have always loved it. When I was younger, my dad got the recipe from our fishmonger and has been making it at home ever since, with some minor modifications. So,…

Matcha Nama Chocolates

Matcha Nama Chocolates

I have always liked Matcha sweets, but after going to Japan, I love them even more, especially when Matcha powder is paired with chocolate. In fact, in Japan you can find a huge variety of chocolates made with Matcha, including famous brands like Kit Kat or Pocky’s… yum! When we were in Kyoto, we fell…

Home-made Ketchup

Home-made Ketchup

And here I am with another one of my DIY projects. Only, this one is really easy. Did you know that making ketchup at home only took 20 minutes? And it is as easy as stirring all the ingredients together and put the pot on the stove. That’s it. It probably takes longer for it…

Sicilian Almond Milk

Sicilian Almond Milk

Today I want to share with you a recipe that is very close to my heart. It is a Sicilian classic that people usually enjoy during the hot Sicilian summer. I used to have a glass of it in the evenings, sitting in our summerhouse yard while chatting with my friends. This is a sweet…

Home-made Ghee

Home-made Ghee

Fragolino Liqueur

Fragolino Liqueur

Here I am, back with another recipe for home-made liqueur!  And this time it uses strawberries.  In fact, the name Fragolino comes from the Italian word fragola, which means strawberry.  This is a typical Italian recipe and many people make it at home.  As it is spring time in the Northern hemisphere and I have…

Home-made Crema di Limoncello

Home-made Crema di Limoncello

Today I am back with another one of my favourite home-made liqueur recipes: Crema di Limoncello. We could call it Limoncello’s little brother as this is basically the creamy version of Limoncello, made with cream and milk.  It is smooth, sweet, lemony and simply irresistible!

Home-made Limoncello

Home-made Limoncello #SundaySupper

So, the #SundaySupper is celebrating the arrival of spring.  Obviously, as we are in the Southern hemisphere, this sounds a bit weird… as for us autumn has just begun, but I do love spring… and I also happen to have the perfect recipe for the event!

Dulce de Leche Liqueur
