Double Chocolate Cupcakes
I made these Double Chocolate Cupcakes for my youngest daughter’s birthday party in December and they were a hit with both adults and kids alike. I must admit that I usually do not like buttercream, as it is usually way too sweet for my taste, but this chocolate version got me hooked! I guess it’s…

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…
Baked Ndunderi
Today I am back with a traditional recipe from the south of Italy: Baked Ndunderi (pronounced “doon-der-ee”) . Ndunderi are hand-made gnocchi-like pasta from the Amalfi Coast, near Naples. I must admit that, unfortunately, this pasta is not very well known around Italy, which is a real pity as it tastes amazing. Ndunderi are a…

Coffee Sables
I really love to bake cookies, especially this time of year. Yes, I know it’s hot in Australia and we do not get all the White Christmas vibes people in the Northern Hemisphere get right now, but I can still switch my oven own thanks to my air-con! So, I don’t give up baking cookies!…

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…
Saffron Pumpkin Porcini Risotto
I must admit that one of the things I miss the most about living in the Northern Hemisphere are the seasons. Don’t get me wrong, we have the same seasons down here, but they are “reversed”. In fact, right now, it’s the end of spring. Besides the fact that I will never be able to…
