The May Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by the incomparable Sawsan from Chef in Disguise. Sawsan challenged us to try our hands (literally!) at making maftoul – hand-rolled Palestinian couscous that is as versatile as it is tasty! Wow was the only word that I could utter when I saw this month’s challenge! I love Sawsan’s…
Stilton, Apple and Walnut Tarts
Today’s recipe is a delicious one. You all know I have a thing for blue cheese… so when I saw some Stilton at my local supermarket, I could not resist and bought it. I love to pair the strong flavoured Stilton with fruits. I often pair it with pears or peaches, but this time I…
Cassoeula (Pork and Cabbage Stew)
Cold evenings feel better with Cassoeula Milanese simmering on the stove, as pork ribs, sausages, and cabbage slowly cook into a rich stew.

Taleggio and Walnut Mezzelune with Parmigiano Reggiano Fondue
For your next pasta night, Taleggio and Walnut Mezzelune with Parmigiano Reggiano Fondue brings tender half-moon pasta wrapped around creamy Taleggio and walnuts, finished with velvety Parmigiano fondue. I love making pasta from scratch. Some people find making bread relaxing and soothing. For me, making pasta has the same calming effect. Kneading the dough and…
Smoked Salmon and Avocado Salad
A fresh Smoked Salmon and Avocado Salad served with a light citrus dressing, ideal for a quick lunch when you want something easy yet satisfying.
Spinach and Ricotta Pie
Today’s recipe is perfect for potlucks and picnics. It is one of my favourite savoury pies and I make it often. What I love the most about quiches and savoury pies is that you can prepare them in advance and eat them at room temperature, so you don’t have to spend too much time in…
Easter Recipe Roundup
Today’s post is not a recipe. As the title suggests, I will share with you my favourite recipes for Easter. In the Northern Hemisphere, Easter is in spring and many Easter dishes are linked to spring both in produce used and in theme. While we are in autumn down under, the people who migrated from…
Crespelle Cake with Asparagus
The April Daring Cooks Challenge was brought to us by Joanna from What’s On The List. She taught us all about Pathiri and challenged us to create our own version of this inspirational Indian dish! Mmmm I know what you are thinking… “crespelle cake with asparagus” doesn’t sound very Indian. And it isn’t. Actually, Joanna…

Malloreddus with Walnuts and Prosciutto
Today I am going to share with you one of my Regional Italian recipes! And this time I will take you all to the beautiful island of Sardinia or, as we say, Sardegna. Sardinia is a popular holiday destination for people who love the seaside. In fact it has some of the best beaches and…

Pomegranate Risotto
As you know, autumn has come to the Southern hemisphere. I can’t lie… I don’t mind it. I welcome the fresher air and the leaves changing colour on the trees. It is a beautiful season. And I LOVE autumn food: mushrooms, chestnuts, quince… pomegranates. In fact, pomegranates always put a smile on my face: I…
Baccalà alla Fiorentina
I have always been a big fan of baccalà – aka salted cod. It is quite a common ingredient in Italian cooking and, strangely enough, it is loved and cooked all over the country, from the Northern regions to the Southern end, islands included. I have already shared the recipes of my grandmother’s Baccalà Fritters and…
Fattoush with Sumac Dressing
Bright, zesty, and refreshing, this Fattoush with Sumac Dressing brings together the best of crispy bread, fresh vegetables, and a tangy sumac dressing. Perfect for meal prepping or a quick lunch.

Happy Sunday everyone! Always more people are looking for meatless meal ideas, especially during Lent, so the fantastic people of Sunday Supper have come up with yet another great event: a fabulous Sunday Supper without meat! I must admit that while I LOVE my vegetables and I have grown up in a family where red meat…

Soft fish and warm vanilla bring easy island comfort to Fish Fillet with Tahitian Vanilla Sauce and keep the dish simple enough for weeknight cooking.
Chili con Carne with Beans
Chili con Carne is a hearty one-pot dish made with ground beef, beans, and a simple blend of spices. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for a comforting meal at home.
Linguine with Potatoes
Today’s recipe is not my own. It’s actually my mother’s. It is one of her favourite pasta sauces and she made it for all of us when visiting from Italy. Usually, as a rule of thumb, Italians do not eat other carbs together with pasta, but this is a delicious exception. I often say that…
Spanakopita
The February Daring Cooks‘ Challenge was hosted by Audax of Audax Artifex. The challenge brought us to Greece with a delicious, flaky spanakopita – a spinach pie in a phyllo pastry shell. Oh Greek food, how I love thee! I think the fact that Italians and Greeks share a sea and lots of history, has…
Radicchio and Taleggio Lasagne
This, together with my Pesto Lasagne, has to be one of my all time favourite vegetarian lasagne! It is very easy to make and it only requires a few ingredients. Yet, the end result tastes amazing. I think Taleggio and Radicchio were created to be eaten together as their flavours complement each other perfectly. These…
Valentine’s Day Recipe Roundup
As Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought of putting together a roundup of a few of my favourite recipes. It’s always hard to choose, as I like everything I publish (what I don’t like doesn’t get on this blog… ever!), but I think these are all fantastic ideas for a romantic dinner. Some…
Alpine Sliders #SundaySupper
This week’s Sunday Supper is all about Super Bowl food, as the event is called “Super Eats for Game Day”, so if you are like me and LOVE the kind of food that is served for such occasions, you are in for a big treat! In fact, I cannot wait to read all the amazing recipe…
Herb filled Chicken Rolls with Puff Pastry
Today’s post is about a very elegant recipe. It is great for a special occasion (I made this during the Christmas holidays) or a romantic dinner… It requires a little extra work, but it is much easier than what it seems. These Herb filled Chicken Rolls with Puff Pastry are delicious! I love the filling as…
GAMBAS AL AJILLO #SundaySupper
This is a special post for me. As you might have guessed from the title, I have finally joined the Sunday Supper Movement! I had been considering it for a while and decided to take the plunge and go for it over our summer (weird, I know…) holidays! I am very excited and honoured to…
ARANCINE WITH SPINACH
If you have read my latest post, you will know that I am hosting this month’s challenge at the Daring Cooks! I chose to challenge my fellow daring cooks to make Arancine from scratch, including risotto! I also shared 3 different recipes with them: Arancine al Ragu’, Arancine al Burro and Arancine agli Spinaci. The…
