Salmon is a kind of fish I have always loved. When I was little, it wasn’t a very common fish in Italy… it would actually be a rare find at the local markets and would be quite expensive, but now it has become quite common and very popular. It is also the only fish that…
ORANGE, FENNEL AND BLACK OLIVE SALAD AND AWARDS
My series of posts dedicated to my Foodbuzz 24×24 Christmas in July event is back after a few days’ break and 2 guest posts! Thank you again Kankana from Sunshine & Smile and Erin from Big Fat Baker! This is a typical Christmas salad as it is made with winter ingredients, but I love it all…
COTOGNATA – SICILIAN QUINCE PASTE
This is another one of my family’s recipes. It is a traditional sweet of many Italian regions (especially in the south) and when my parents were kids, it used to be among the most awaited gifts that Sicilian children would get for “all souls day”. You can find out more about the traditions of “all…

This is actually a “non-recipe” as it does not require cooking. I am a big fan of fruit salads and my mom would very often serve it before any dessert when we had guests over. It is a very good palette cleanser and it can be as easy or as fancy as you like. It…
BANANA, PEAR AND GINGER SMOOTHIE – ANOTHER AWARD AND A PIECE OF NEWS
After a delicious but calorie laden sweet, I thought of posting a healthy but just as tasty treat. This simple and sugar free smoothie used to be my afternoon snack when I was child. Well, to be honest my mom would not put ginger in it (this is my own twist to the recipe) as…
STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM IN PUFF PASTRY CASES

PRICKLY PEARS – FICHI D’INDIA
This is not a normal recipe post. Actually, it is not a recipe at all. When I went to Leichhardt (Sydney’s Little Italy) last week, I saw these prickly pears (Wiki) and I could not resist: I had to buy them. It is the first time I have seen them here in Sydney and they…
