Cooked chicken tikka skewers served with chutney, lemon, and onions.

Chicken Tikka (Murgh Tikka)

Juicy chicken, a thick spiced marinade, and quick cooking give Chicken Tikka its rich taste and lightly charred finish. Serve it with naan, rice, or a simple chutney on the side.

Pear and Gorgonzola Risotto

PEAR AND GORGONZOLA RISOTTO

If you follow this blog more or less regularly, you already know I have a huge love for blue cheese.  And to me, gorgonzola is the king of blue cheeses… I guess I am also biased as I was born not too far from a place called Gorgonzola, from where the cheese supposedly originates.  I…

Cooked Oysters Kilpatrick served on a round plate with Kilpatrick sauce and lemon wedges.

Oysters Kilpatrick

Bring coastal flavour to your table with this Oysters Kilpatrick recipe. Crispy bacon, tangy sauce, and tender oysters make a quick, flavourful dish perfect for any seafood lover.

Green tagliatelle with tuna and ricotta

GREEN TAGLIATELLE WITH TUNA AND RICOTTA

Today I want to share with you a dish that is very dear to my heart.  It is a very simple recipe, but if made with home made pasta it can be a little bit more labour intensive (but so much worth it!).  The reason why I love it so much is because it reminds…

Baked swordfish involtini

BAKED SWORDFISH INVOLTINI

I must admit I am not a huge fish lover.  Well, actually that is not exactly true as there is a lot of fish that I do enjoy eating, but the majority of it is very hard to find around here!  So, I tend to eat mainly salmon or swordfish, which have always come to…

Stuffed Capsicums - Peperoni ripieni

STUFFED CAPSICUMS – PEPERONI RIPIENI

I love capsicums (or bell peppers!), I always have.  I like them in any shape or form and made in any sorts of ways, but this is by far my favourite recipe.  My mum would make these often, and the house would be filled with the aromas of baked capsicums… yum!  So hearthy!  The filling…

Raspberry Glazed Chicken Wings

RASPBERRY GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS

Do you like chicken wings?  I love them.  It is not something I grew up eating.  In fact I never used to eat them back in Italy, but since moving to Australia I have begun to appreciate them.  I had some wings in my freezer and some raspberry jam left over from another recipe, so…

Polenta Concia layered with melted Gorgonzola, Fontina, and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Polenta Concia

Turn simple polenta into Polenta Concia, a baked northern Italian main from Lombardia with Gorgonzola, Fontina, Parmigiano Reggiano, and butter.

Fagioli all'uccelletto

FAGIOLI ALL’UCCELLETTO

Today’s Regional Italian dish is from Tuscany and more specifically from the beautiful city of Florence.  It is a very simple yet tasty recipe that can be served as a vegetarian/vegan main dish or, as it is common in Tuscany, as a side to barbecued Italian sausages.  Fagioli all’uccelletto is an ancient recipe made of…

Focaccia al pomodoro - Cherry tomato Focaccia

FOCACCIA AL POMODORO – CHERRY TOMATO FOCACCIA

After sharing with you the Basic Focaccia recipe, the recipe for Focaccia with Olives and the one for Onion Focaccia, today I am going to post the recipe for another one of my favourites: Focaccia al pomodoro (aka cherry tomato focaccia)!  I remember as a child going to the baker right after school and buying a piece…

Trofie with Walnut Sauce

TROFIE WITH WALNUT SAUCE

Today I want to share with you one of my favourite recipes. Well, it is actually a double recipe as I am going to show you how to make Trofie from scratch with a tutorial AND how to make a delicious, very simple and light walnut sauce to serve them with. Trofie are my absolute…

Baked Feta

BAKED FETA

After hosting the June 2012 Daring Cooks’ challenge and making a few batches of Cannelloni, I was even more curious to see what this month’s challenge would be!  I must admit, I had never thought about what goes “behind the scenes” of one of these challenges, but after hosting one I can tell you… it’s a…

A plate of cavatelli coated in pork ragù and topped with grated cheese and parsley.

Cavatelli al Ragù di Maiale

A hearty simmer brings out a rich, rounded taste in Cavatelli al Ragù di Maiale, turning simple ingredients into a warming pasta bowl.

Falsomagro

FALSOMAGRO

When I think of Sunday lunches as a child, I think of this dish.  I guess you could say this was our family’s equivalent of a Sunday roast.  My mum would often prepare this when we had friends over and it has always been one of my all time favourite meat dishes.  When I moved…

Pumpkin gnocchi with butter and sage

PUMPKIN GNOCCHI WITH BUTTER AND SAGE

I love making flavoured gnocchi and these pumpkin gnocchi are particularly tasty.  They are actually made with a mix of potatoes and pumpkin, so they are as soft and pillowy as potato gnocchi, with a hint of pumpkin flavour and colour.  Don’t they look beautiful?  I like to make these especially in autumn/winter when pumpkins…

Chicken Salad

CHICKEN SALAD

I must admit that I had my very first chicken salad when I visited the USA in 1997.  Yes… quite late in life (well, I am not THAT old, but the point is, it is not a dish I grew up eating!).  I am not sure why, but it is not something my family would…

Roasted chicken leg served with golden potatoes on a white plate with rosemary garnish.

Roasted Chicken with Potatoes (Pollo al Forno con Patate)

The holidays can be busy, but Roasted Chicken with Potatoes (Pollo al Forno con Patate) keeps things simple, one pan, a few ingredients, and the flavour of home.

Cannelloni al pesto

CANNELLONI AL PESTO

Today I am going to share with you the last of the recipes that I provided to my fellow Daring Cooks for this month’s challenge.  It is another one of my favourites as I love pesto and making cannelloni with it takes this dish to a new dimension!  I have also shown them how to…

CANNELLONI WITH RICOTTA, HAM AND FONTINA

After sharing my Cannelloni di magro and Cannelloni di carne recipes, today I am back to share with all of you my recipes from the challenge I hosted at the Daring Cooks’!  This is a recipe I found while browsing the web and it is the only one that was not a “family recipe”.  I…
