I love the smell and taste of lavender. It reminds me of when I used to travel to the south of France with my parents. One of our favourite spots was Aix-en-Provence. We always stopped at the morning markets to buy beautiful bunches of lavender, hand-made lavender soap and all sorts of lavender perfumed items. …
Cookies and Cream Fudge
I made this Cookies and Cream Fudge to give to friends as part of this year’s Christmas hamper. It is so easy to make and it tastes amazing. My husband is a huge fan of Cookies and Cream anything, so he was over the moon when I made it. But he wasn’t the only one…
Kitty Cat Bread Buns
I made these savoury Kitty Cat Bread Buns for my daughter’s 5th birthday party and they were a hit. Not only did they taste yummy, they also looked quite cute, which is always an important factor, especially for a kid’s party. The brown dough is made with cocoa powder, but rest assured that the cocoa powder…
Kitty Cat Doughnuts

Onion Crusted Scotch Fillet with home-made Chips

Today, I want to show you yet another recipe that I have created using this fantastic appliance: Onion Crusted Scotch Fillet with home-made Chips. It is another very quick meal idea, as…
Cheese Mouse on a Cracker
Today’s post is not really a recipe, but I thought this Cheese Mouse on a Cracker looked too cute not to have a post of its own! All you need to make these “mice” are cheese spread triangles, black sesame seeds, salami and… crackers off course! I made these for Georgia’s 5th birthday party. The theme…
Cat Cookies
Cute feline-shaped Cat Cookies with bright eyes add a meow-worthy touch to any party! Add M&M’s for bright colour and a fun, friendly look that brightens the spread.
Paw Print Cupcakes
I made these Paw Print Cupcakes for my daughter’s 5th birthday party. The theme was “kittens”, as Georgia loves cats, so these cupcakes fitted the bill perfectly. Not only, they were also very easy to make and decorate and the results were excellent. I love how they look! I made some vanilla cupcakes as a…

I am very happy with it and, as promised, I am doing a little series on recipes developed using the Toollio to showcase its versatility. After making some hearty meatballs and a luscious cheesecake, today…
Georgia’s 5th Birthday
On the 1st my youngest daughter turned 5!! I cannot believe she is 5 already and that in January she will be going to “big school”. Georgia is definitely ready for it… mum, not so much. She’s the baby of the house and seeing her grow up so fast is both amazing and scary. She…

Lavazza #FromItalywithPassion
I am very excited about today’s post… as it is all about coffee and Italy. If you follow me on Facebook, you would have seen that I posted a special message for Manu’s Menu a few days ago. Yep, the Lavazza barista contacted me to help him spread the word about the Lavazza #FromItalywithPassion campaign. I…
Sicilian Stuffed Artichokes
A little while ago, I was so lucky to find some amazing artichokes at the markets. I got a tray full of them… and made them in many different ways. Remember my Carciofi alla Trapanese recipe? Those too were part of this batch… Today, I will show you yet another way of preparing a delicious…
Chai Cheesecake with Pumpkin Butterscotch Sauce
A few days ago, I reviewed the Toollio, an amazing multi-function kitchen appliance. I love it and, as promised, I am going to share a few recipes that can give you a better idea of what you can do with it. Even though you can make lots of savoury dishes with the Toollio, today’s recipe is…
Croquetas de Jamón Serrano
Golden Croquetas de Jamón Serrano with béchamel and ham make an easy snack that goes well with vegetables, simple salads, and crusty bread on quiet evenings.
Coconut Panna Cotta with Coconut Caramel Sauce
Here you have another delicious panna cotta recipe! I have a friend who loves coconut, so I thought of making this to take to her birthday party. I had just made the Coconut Caramel Sauce I shared in my previous post, so the pairing was a no brainer. They were silky, smooth and delicate and…

This week, the #SundaySupper bloggers are sharing recipes with ingredients that are hunted or foraged. This can include wild game or vegetarian options or also special ingredients that you have to source online or hunt down at specialty markets. I love the theme! As I regularly cook with ethnic ingredients (where for ethnic, I mean…
Meatballs in Tomato and Pecorino Romano Sauce
A few days ago, I reviewed an amazing kitchen appliance: the Toollio, a unique multi-function food processor that grinds and tenderises meat, grates cheese and bread, slices and chops vegetables and mozzarella, makes tomato purée… A true gem. As I promised, I am going to publish a few recipes that can give you a better idea…
Crespelle Cake with Broccoli
A few months ago, I shared with you the recipe for another Crespelle “cake” made with asparagus and I liked it so much that I decided to make it again using other vegetables. This time, it’s broccoli. I adore broccoli, it is one of my favourite vegetables. I have adapted a classic pairing of Italian cuisine…
Pomegranate Chicken Wings
Chicken wings are among my favourite appetisers or party food. They can be made in so many different ways and they always taste delicious. I love mine baked, but because I coat them in a little bit of flour and bake them for a long time, the skin becomes as crunchy as if they were fried, sans…
Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce
Soft, spongy Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce layered with warm caramel flavour and smooth texture, a dessert that melts in the mouth and stays tender even after baking.
Toollio Review
As you know, I love making things from scratch… I have tried my hands at making all kinds of pasta, liqueurs and even cheese. I must admit though that one of the things I like the most making from scratch is smallgoods and sausages. I like the fact that you can be very creative and…
Zucchini Flower and Stracchino Risotto
A few weeks ago, I went to the markets and managed to find some good deals. I bought a whole tray of artichokes for less than half the price they are usually sold at the grocery store and I was also lucky enough to find zucchini flowers. Zucchini flowers are very common in Italy and…
Carciofi alla Trapanese #SundaySupper
This week the Sunday Supper team is sharing recipes for lighter foods to balance out the indulgences that go along with all the feasting, parties and celebrations of the upcoming holiday season. And what better than artichokes to eat lighter, healthier but still delicious food? Did you know that the total antioxidant capacity of artichokes is one…
Broken Glass Cupcakes
These bloody Broken Glass Cupcakes make a spooky Halloween centrepiece with shards of sugar glass and sticky “blood.” The soft pumpkin sponge and sweet buttercream taste every bit as wicked as they look. Bloody broken glass cupcakes! Don’t they look scary? I love how spooky they turn out, yet they’re completely edible and so much…
