During our recent trip to Japan, we spent a few days in Kyoto. We had already visited it in 2015 and we had completely fallen in love with the city. To me, it is possibly the most beautiful city on earth! And if I could, I would easily move and live there. Many tourists divide…

I don’t know about you, but I always seem to have overripe bananas in my kitchen! I try and buy them more on the green side, but they always ripen way too fast! I often make banana bread (check this one out – it is my absolute favourite!), but this time I felt like having…
Kinosaki Onsen Guide – Japan
During our latest trip to Japan, we decided we wanted to try the onsen experience. Winter is the best time to soak in hot water after a day in the cold! We picked a few ryokans which had their own onsen throughout the journey, but we also wanted to try the public baths. There are…

Onsen Etiquette – Japan Guide
Even though we had stayed at some onsen towns during our first trip to Japan, we had never tried taken a bath in the hot springs. Our kids were very young and we felt the water would be too hot for them. But I must confess that the real reason was probably the thought of…

Lamb Tajine
There is nothing I like more than to eat stew on a winter’s day. Sometimes, I like to add a touch of exotic to my dinner, so instead of making a “normal stew”, I make tajine. I have already shared my recipes for Lamb Tajine with Quinces and Lemon Chicken Tajine with Olives – 2 of my…

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…

Hiroshima Guide 2017 – Japan
During our recent trip to Japan, we also visited Hiroshima. We had already been there in 2015, so we could have easily skipped it this time around. I know many people go to Japan and don’t feel the need to visit. We, however, just had to be back. We were in Miyajima after all and…

Italian Lemon Meringue Shooters
If you follow my blog more or less regularly, you will know that I love desserts that can be served in shooter glasses. Creamy desserts that can be eaten with a spoon have always been my weakness, and I love to serve them in smaller portions, especially as part of a buffet, so I can…
Pasta with Baby Eggplants
Finally I am back with another pasta recipe! This Pasta with Baby Eggplants is a dish my grandmother used to make in Sicily. I have always loved it… it’s very easy to make and whenever I find baby eggplants at the grocer, I always buy them to make this pasta. What sets this sauce aside…
