Pineapple Strawberry Apple Smoothie
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We have eaten a lot, as usual, so today I am back with something light and healthy! I love smoothies and this Pineapple Strawberry Apple Smoothie is amazing. I love the flavour combination and I think pineapple makes for a great addition, especially in winter, as it adds…
Vin Brule
With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I should share a quintessential Italian Christmas recipe: Vin Brule – aka Italian mulled wine. When living in Italy, Christmas used to be my favourite time of the year. I loved the cold, snowy winters and dark evenings. It all contributed to the cozy Christmas atmosphere that…
Blueberry Caipiroska
Today I am going to show you how to make another easy drink recipe: Blueberry Caipiroska. With the holidays coming up – and especially the New Year celebrations – it’s always good to have a few different drink ideas up your sleeve. Eggnog is great, but I always try to have a few quick options…
Strawberries in White Wine
Today I am going to share with you a very quick and easy end of meal recipe: Strawberries in White Wine. This recipe is similar to the Peaches in Wine recipe I have already shared with you and, just like it, this too can easily substitute dessert, as the wine becomes almost a strawberry flavoured…
Watermelon Caipiroska
Today I would like to share with you the recipe for one of my favourite alcoholic drinks: Caipiroska. What is a Caipiroska you may ask… it is a form of Caipirinha prepared with vodka instead of the usual cachaça. It is a very popular cocktail in South America and I personally love it, especially when…
Strawberry Milk
My daughters love Strawberry Milk. They still call it “pink milk” like when they were little and it is their favourite drink. As strawberries are in season here in Australia, I thought of making it at home. The result was amazing so, even though this is quite a simple recipe, I thought I should share…
Vietnamese Iced Coffee
Vietnamese Iced Coffee, or Cà phê đá, is a traditional Vietnamese coffee recipe. Coffee was introduced in Vietnam during the French rule and it quickly became a strong exporter of coffee. Cà phê đá is traditionally made using coarsely ground dark roast coffee individually brewed with a small metal French drip filter, mixed with condensed…
Pesche al Vino
Today’s recipe takes me back to my summers in Sicily where my aunt would often finish a delicious meal with these Pesche al Vino – aka Italian Peaches in Wine. She would skip the sugar to be completely honest, but the smell of the ripe peaches macerated in wine is still vivid in my mind….
Baby Guinness Shot
Impress your guests with this Baby Guinness Shot, made from Baileys and Kahlua. It’s rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with coffee sweetness and velvety texture in one irresistible sip.

Sangria
As I wrote in my last post about Pa amb Tomaquet, I will be sharing Spanish recipes this week. And what’s more Spanish than Sangria?? I am actually surprised I haven’t shared this recipe yet, as Sangria is one of my most favourite drinks. There are many recipes on the Internet on how to make…
Pineapple Coconut Banana Smoothie
Smoothies are always a great and healthy afternoon snack idea for kids. My children love them and it is a fantastic way to make them eat some fruits and use up some leftovers too. As a child, I would always ask my mother to make me a Banana and Pear Frullato (the Italian version of…
Cilantro Jalapeno Mojito #SundaySupper
This week, the #SundaySupper team is celebrating spices and/or spicy food. I am a big fan of spices in general, so I just had to contribute! I think I have a rather interesting Mojito collection on the site already and this Cilantro Jalapeño Mojito is yet another fun addition to it! I think Mojito is…

Lemongrass and Ginger Mojito
If you know me, you know I love rum based drinks. In fact, I always order those from the cocktail menu. Mojitos are my absolute favourites and I always try to add a twist to the classic recipe. Remember my Green Tea Mojito? Well, this time I am back with yet another version… the possibilities…
Spritz
For my last post of 2015 and to welcome the new year, I am sharing the recipe for one of the most classic Italian drinks: the Spritz. It is a wine-based cocktail commonly served as an aperitif. It is prepared with prosecco wine, a dash of some bitter liqueur such as Aperol, Campari or Cynar…

Banana Milk
Today’s post is a special one. The recipe itself is so easy that I am not even sure it could be passed on as a “recipe” per se, but it is my eldest daughter favourite treat and she insisted I “put it on the blog”… so here it is. When I was a child, my…

Green Tea Mojito
Mojito is my favourite drink hands down. I love a classic mint and lime Mojito that reminds me of my days in Cuba, but I also like to experiment with different flavour (and colour) combinations like with my Pomegranate Mojito or my Pineapple Mojito. I made today’s version for my daughter’s 8th birthday party… no, I…
