The first time I had Cucumber Sandwiches, they were served as part of a high tea I attended with friends. To me, the idea of having savoury treats along with tea sounded quite weird. You see, Italians only have sweets with tea (mainly cookies or pastries), so the thought of eating a cucumber sandwich (of…

EatNow Review
I was recently asked to review a food ordering website called EatNow and I happily accepted as I find the concept behind it to be very interesting. You all know I love cooking, but as a foodie, I also love to eat out and try different restaurants. Unfortunately, having young children, we don’t get to go out…
Victoria’s 7th Birthday
On the 16th we celebrated my eldest daughter Victoria’s 7th birthday!!! I know I always say this, but I really cannot believe how fast time flies. Victoria is turning into a beautiful and thoughtful little girl and I am trying to enjoy these years as much as I can, as I know she will soon…

Chicken Involtini with Prosciutto and Fontina
Chicken is definitely the kind of meat we eat the most. My children like it more than any other meat and even though I have always preferred beef, I now enjoy it too. Being that we eat chicken often, I am always looking for different ways to serve it, so it doesn’t get too boring. …

This week the Sunday Supper team is sharing recipes for food that is served cold… as the majority of the group is based in the Northern hemisphere and it is a hot summer up there at the moment. It has actually been quite cold down here lately. I do not mind it one bit though, as…

Coconut Tiramisù in a Jar
Oh Tiramisù, how much I love thee! I must admit I have had my share of terrific home-made tiramisù while growing up. Back then it was mostly the classic coffee flavoured version, and I have always thoroughly enjoyed it. Then the fruity versions started to appear, mostly made with peaches and strawberries. I like those too,…

Chicken and Sun dried Tomato Rolls #FridgeShelfies
Last week I blogged about PHILADELPHIA #FridgeShelfies, a campaign that wants to inspire Aussies to get more creative in the kitchen, with new and exciting recipes developed using the ingredients already in their fridges.
