Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil
Yep. You read that right! Scallops AND Lobster Oil! Intriguing, isn’t it? To tell you the truth, the Lobster Oil was a very pleasant discovery, as I was not familiar with it.
Low Fodmap Salmon Cakes
I must admit that I am not a huge seafood lover. However, I eat fish at least twice a week. So, I am always looking for different ways to serve it to the family, just to keep things interesting.

Onigiri
Today I am going to share with you one of my favourite Japanese recipes: Onigiri – aka Japanese Rice Balls. As you know, in the last 2 years, my family and I have visited Japan twice (check out my 2015 post and my 2017 post). We literally love the country and its food! Not only,…
Smoked Salmon Bagel
I had my first Smoked Salmon Bagel when, at the age of 17, I visited New York. It was my first time in the USA and I spent 3 weeks in NYC as part of a school exchange program. I have always loved smoked salmon, but I had never had it with cream cheese before….
Salt-Crusted Snapper
I am very excited about today’s recipe! Salt-Crusted Snapper is one of my mum’s signature dishes. In fact, she made it for us just a few days ago and I managed to get her recipe for it to share with all of you here on the blog! Aren’t you lucky? If you like fish, this…

Sicilian Sweet and Sour Mackerel
My parents are here for the holidays and, like every year, I get to eat food from my childhood cooked by my mother. We used to eat a lot of fish when living in Italy and today I will share my mother’s recipe for one of my favourite dishes: Sicilian Sweet and Sour Mackerel –…
Tuna Ricotta Balls
Today I am going to share with you the recipe for Tuna Ricotta Balls. They are crunchy savoury bites the whole family will love. These croquettes are baked and not fried, so they are also quite healthy and they make the perfect appetiser or snack idea. I love anything with tuna (remember my Italian Tuna…
Swordfish Caponata
Today’s recipe is a variation of one of the most popular Sicilian dishes: Caponata (click here for the recipe I shared a while ago). This Swordfish Caponata has all the ingredients of the original dish – including eggplant, olives and capers, plus swordfish. Caponata could be described as a cooked salad made up of fried…
Italian Tuna Loaf
My kids don’t like seafood much… but they do make an exception for tuna. So, with that in mind, I try and use tuna in different ways and recipes so that they don’t get bored of eating it. Today I will share with you my recipe for an Italian classic dish that we call Polpettone…
Skinny Tuna Sushi Roll
Today I want to share with you one of my favourite recipes: Skinny Tuna Sushi Roll. While waiting for my gallbladder surgery I was on a strict low fat diet and this Skinny Tuna Sushi Roll was my dinner for almost 1 full month! I kept on making it, as it tasted really good even…
Tuna Dill Salad Pita Pockets
Due to my gallbladder issues, I have been on a low fat (almost fat-free) diet for over 2 months. Finding appetising recipes that have no more than 2 grams (0.07 oz!!) of fat per serving was not easy, but these Tuna Dill Salad Pita Pockets fit the bill if made with fat-free or very low…
Salmon Sashimi with Ponzu
I love Salmon Sashimi! In the last couple of years I have learnt to really appreciate Japanese food. Even more so after our trip to Japan last year, where I learnt that Japanese food is so much more than what the majority of people who live abroad think it is.
Crumbed Barramundi
The first time I visited London, back in the 80’s, I was very young and a really fussy eater. That said, I remember falling in love with “fish & chips”. Sure, Italians eat a lot of fish, but for some reason the English one tasted different. Besides, anything served with chips tastes better to a…
Snapper all’Acqua Pazza
I must admit, we don’t eat a lot of fish. I think it’s because my kids are not crazy about it, so I just find it easier to cook something that pleases everyone. On the other hand, I grew up in a family that LOVES fish and we would eat it at least 3 times…
Tuna and Onion Pizza
Everyone loves pizza, right?? Today I am sharing with you the recipe for one of my favourite topping: Tuna and Onion Pizza! You know how I feel about pizza toppings, to me a “real” pizza must have only certain toppings. No gourmet pizza for me – I love tandoori chicken or bulgogi, but not on…
Polipo Accupatello
Today I am sharing with you a special recipe. It is a Sicilian octopus stew with potatoes that my parents learnt from an old lady in the little village of San Vito Lo Capo. My dad started his teaching career at the local school when he was very young and he used to rent a…
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,…
