A TRIBUTE TO LIS – THE DARING KITCHEN

This is a post that I would have never wanted to write. It’s tough to put down into words what’s been going on in my heart and mind in the last couple of days, since I got “the” news. Our dear Lis (Lisa Cifelli from La mia Cucina) passed away, suddenly, leaving us all shattered….

FRIED NUTELLA

Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso have declared February 5th “World Nutella Day 2013″ – “a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella”. I usually don’t follow “national or world food days”… not because I have something against them, but I usually forget and cannot keep track of all of these special occasions. …

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…

Seared Kangaroo with Raspberry Glaze

SEARED KANGAROO FILLET STEAKS WITH RASPBERRY GLAZE

I am sure the majority of you are wondering what kangaroo tastes like.  Well, it is hard to describe its taste, but I would probably compare it to venison, though it is milder and not as gamey.  I still remember the first time I ate it… I was in Uluru and kangaroo was one of…
