There are times when only a chocolate brownie can satisfy your craving for sweets. As I am much more careful about what I eat since starting the low FODMAP diet, I am not having as many sweets as I used to.
Kiwi Ginger Smoothie
Who doesn’t love a refreshing smoothie? I know I do and so do my children. This Kiwi Ginger Smoothie is both dairy-free and low FODMAP, so besides being yummy and healthy, it is also gentle on the tummy.
Orange Polenta Cake
A soft, fragrant Orange Polenta Cake made with oranges, almond meal, and a hint of Grand Marnier. Moist, naturally gluten-free, and ideal for afternoon tea or a light celebration dessert.
Salted Caramel Pepitas
Since starting the Low FODMAP diet, I am always looking for healthy snack ideas and these Salted Caramel Pepitas fit the bill perfectly.
Low Fodmap Blueberry Muffins
Since starting with the low FODMAP diet, I am always looking for healthy ways to incorporate sweet treats into my diet and these Low Fodmap Blueberry Muffins are perfect to have for breakfast or as a snack at tea time.
Low FODMAP Lemon Cake
Bright lemon and a soft crumb make this Low FODMAP Lemon Cake feel citrusy and light. Serve it with a few raspberries for extra colour and natural freshness.
Almond Pralines
Crisp Almond Pralines coated in cocoa and sugar give a satisfying crunch and warm nutty scent, making them ideal for holiday jars, after-dinner treats, or weekday cravings.
Garlic and Tomato Green Beans
Today’s recipe is very common in Italy, especially in the south. We often cook boiled vegetables with garlic and tomato to turn them into a flavoursome dish. This technique is called “ripassare”, which means to give the vegetables a second cooking.
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles
After making my Chocolate Hazelnut Milk, I had some hazelnut pulp left and you know I love to re-use leftovers, don’t you? I dug and dug and I found a great recipe for it: Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles.
Italian Almond Carrot Cake
Morning bakes feel easier with Italian Almond Carrot Cake with a soft, nutty, and lightly sweet crumb. Enjoy a homemade treat that brings comfort to slow mornings or relaxed afternoon breaks.
Fried Bell Peppers and Potatoes
My readers often write to me to ask for some quick side dish ideas to serve with their Italian meals. I know, I don’t publish many side dishes on the site. I am not sure why as growing up, my mother would always serve at least one or two sides with our meal. Anyhow, these…
Pumpkin Jam
Have you ever had Pumpkin Jam? I personally love it and I also love the fact that it is really easy to make. This version also has a hint of freshly grated ginger to it, and I think it works really well with the pumpkin flavour. You can use this jam to make tarts, pies,…
Tuna Mayo Onigiri (Triangle Rice Balls)
Filled with creamy tuna and wrapped in crisp nori, these Tuna Mayo Onigiri (Triangle Rice Balls) are perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, and quick snacks. Portable, satisfying, and surprisingly easy to prepare. Onigiri has become one of my favourite things to make at home. After visiting Japan a few times with my family, I’ve grown even…

As you probably already know, in the past few months, I have been working really hard on a very exciting project. I know I have been keeping you on your toes, but the time has finally come to introduce my latest work of love: Homemade Pasta Made Simple.
Sweet Potato Mash
Add warmth to your holiday menu with Sweet Potato Mash. It’s smooth, buttery, and naturally sweet, making it the perfect match for roasts and seasonal sides.
Italian Salad
Some readers have asked me to share more Italian side dishes on the blog. I actually hadn’t realised that I didn’t have many! It’s probably because Italian side dishes are pretty easy and straightforward and I never think they are “blog worthy”. But then again, they may be straightforward for me, having grown up in…
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…
Almond Shortbread Cookies
I know we have probably over eaten during these holidays, but if you are still craving cookies (I always am!), I have the perfect recipe for you! I made these Almond Shortbread Cookies for a friend who is gluten intolerant. I was actually going to make my Flourless Chocolate and Pear Cake (which is AMAZING!),…
Blueberry Lavender Syrup
I love today’s recipe. I am a huge fan of using edible flowers in cooking, especially in desserts and this Blueberry Lavender Syrup is a must-try recipe. It is very easy to make and the lavender adds a special touch to the (already delicious) blueberry syrup. Besides, I love how versatile this syrup is. You…
Milk Cream
Today I will take you all to India with me – to beautiful sunny Goa, to be precise – and I will show you how to make Milk Cream. Milk Cream is a cashew nut and milk fudge that is traditionally made by Goan Catholics for Christmas. It is very likely a local adaptation of…
Castagnaccio
Today I am back with a traditional Italian recipe: Castagnaccio. It is a typically autumnal dessert found in the Tuscany, Liguria, Piedmont, and Emilia-Romagna regions of Italy. It is made from a batter of chestnut flour, water, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, and raisins, which is mixed until smooth and then baked. There are…
Strawberry Granita
The weather here is getting warmer and strawberries are in season, sweet and full of flavour! So I didn’t think twice and took my ice cream machine out to make this easy and delicious Strawberry Granita! Italians are famous for their frozen treats and we often have granita for breakfast. Make sure to serve this strawberry…
Home-made Apple Pie Spice Mix
Living in Australia, I do not find many of the spice mixes available in North America (or in Europe), so I often make my own. Besides, these spice mixes are usually made by stirring together spices that are commonly available everywhere in the world. I already showed you how to make Cajun Seasoning, Pumpkin Pie…
Parmigiano Reggiano Brutti ma Buoni
Today’s recipe is a savoury variation of the more famous sweet Brutti ma Buoni (click here for the sweet recipe that I have already shared a while ago). Brutti ma Buoni are cookies made in Lombardy, the region I was born and grew up in, mainly to utilize leftovers – especially egg whites and nuts….
Passato di Verdure
Today I am going to share with you a typical Italian recipe: Passato di Verdure, aka Italian vegetable veloute. It is a very common soup and we often have it during the cold autumn and winter months. The truth is, there is no real recipe for Passato di Verdure, as its ingredients can vary from…
