As Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought of putting together a round-up of a few of my favourite recipes that I think would work great for a romantic dinner.  Ready to drool?? Here goes MsM’s Valentine’s Day Recipe Round-up for 2018!

Don’t you just love one-pot recipes? I know I do! They come together quickly and they require minimum cleaning after dinner, which is fantastic, especially after you have had a long tiring day. This One Pot Chicken and Lemon Rice is one such recipe, and it has yet another merit: it tastes amazing.

Lamb and Artichoke Stew

Lamb and Artichoke Stew

Today’s recipe is a delicious Italian dish: Lamb and Artichoke Stew. My mum would often make it when artichokes were in season and it would often be on our Easter menu as well, as Italians usually eat lamb for the occasion. Growing up, I was not a big fan of lamb, but this dish used…

Roasted Pumpkin and Carrot Quinoa Salad

I only recently discovered quinoa and now I am hooked. I love all grains that can be used to make salads (I have plenty of couscous and maftoul recipes on the blog already!), so I already knew I would like quinoa. And I was not mistaken. I love its crunch and its slight bitterness, especially…

Who doesn’t like a good stew in winter? I sure do! And Goulash is one of my favourite stews. It’s tasty, hearty, packed with flavour and easy to make. When I think of Goulash, 2 things come to my mind: Hungary and my grandmother. No, she wasn’t Hungarian, but she loved Goulash and it was…

Italian Sausage with Bell Peppers and Potatoes

Italian Sausage with Bell Peppers and Potatoes

I LOVE sausage. As a child, it used to be my favourite dish ever. We would almost only have it in summer though, as we would find the best sausage in Sicily. We would barbecue it and enjoy it in the most simple way. It was so good that you didn’t really have to add…
