Italian rabbit stew served with mashed potatoes on a white plate with a rich tomato sauce.

Italian Rabbit Stew (Aunt Franca’s Rabbit Recipe)

Swap your usual stew for something more traditional, Italian Rabbit Stew cooks rabbit with simple ingredients into a rich, savoury meal.

STRAWBERRY CRUMBLE BARS

I know I have already said this, but how hard is it to get adjusted to living with inverted seasons??  It is so weird to think of Christmas as a summer holiday or Easter as an autumn holiday…  in the same way, April reminds me of spring, sunshine and… strawberries.  So, even though it is…

FISH BROTH WITH GARLIC CROSTINI

Today I want to share with you the recipe for a delicious fish broth.  It is the same recipe of the broth we use for Fish Couscous, but instead of being used to make couscous, it is served plain with some grilled crusty bread.  I love this soup as it is simple, yet full of flavour….

GARAM MASALA AND PRESERVED LEMON HUMMUS

Do you remember I had told you I would be making more food from my friend Rhonda’s site, The Kitchen Witch?  When I got assigned her blog for this month’s Secret Recipe Club, I had to chose only one recipe to publish on reveal day and I chose her amazing Sweet Chilli and Orange Chicken…

Whole Cassata Siciliana decorated with colorful candied fruits and white icing, placed on a lace tablecloth.

Cassata Siciliana

Layers of sponge filled with sweet ricotta and almond marzipan make Cassata Siciliana a true Sicilian classic known for its rich flavour, vibrant colour, and timeless craftsmanship.

HOT CROSS BUN CUPCAKES

How cute are these??  That was my reaction when I first saw these beauties over at Not Quite Nigella’s site!  Lorraine always has amazing ideas and this was one that stuck to my mind.  I saw them last Easter and knew then that I HAD to make them.  You see, I discovered hot cross buns…

PORCINI RISOTTO

I always have great fun experimenting with risotto.  I like it so much that it was the first thing I ever cooked all by myself as a teenager.  Today’s risotto though is a classic Italian recipe: Porcini mushroom risotto.  I must warn you: if you like mushrooms and you have never eaten porcini, please do! …

LAVENDER AND JASMINE MACARONS

I have a few macarons recipes on the blog and I like them all, but to tell you the truth, today’s flavour combination is my new all time favourite.  Yes, I like these even more than my Salted Caramel Macarons and my Mango and Passion fruit Macarons!  I made these a little while ago to take…

FRIED CALAMARI

I know I haven’t posted enough seafood recipes!!  So today I will try and remedy that.  Have you ever eaten fried calamari rings at your local Fish and Chips eatery?  Well, forget about it as today I will show you how easy and quick it is to make them at home.  Besides, when buying your…

CANESTRELLI

I am sure that you will agree with me on this: food and memories are linked.  When I eat something, my brain starts remembering things connected to the taste I am enjoying.  This happens to me all the time.  Since moving to Australia though this connection has become somewhat stronger.  It’s probably because I can…

BAILEY’S MOUSSE

Happy Paddy’s Day everyone!  Raise your hand if you love Bailey’s!  I DO!!!  I am not a very keen wine drinker (I know I know… very un-Italian…), but cocktails, sweet wines and sweet liquors are a different matter.  And Bailey’s is one of my favourite… to drink and to cook with.  That is why in…

HOME-MADE CHÈVRE

Sawsan from Chef in Disguise was our March 2013 Daring Cooks hostess! Sawsan challenges us to make our own homemade cheeses! She gave us a variety of choices to make, all of them easily accomplished and delicious! Yessss, you read that right: one of my best blogger friends was this month’s Daring Cooks hostess!  I was…

Kahlúa coffee ice cream scoops in cones with a bottle of liqueur in the background.

Kahlúa Coffee Ice Cream

Smooth and creamy Kahlúa Coffee Ice Cream is a balanced homemade dessert that works well for casual dinners and adult gatherings.

Bread Malfatti with Butter and Pumpkin Cream

BREAD MALFATTI WITH BUTTER AND PUMPKIN CREAM

Last year, my mother gave me one of my grandmother’s cookbooks.  It is full of notes and extra recipes that my nonna would pin down in all the white areas in between pages.  I love it.  I love being able to read her comments, I love being able to once again see her curvy handwriting,…

Two glasses of Chocolate Viennois with Chantilly and chocolate shards on top, set on a white plate.

Chocolate Viennois (Crème Viennoise Chocolat)

Nothing satisfies a chocoholic faster than Chocolate Viennois, a decadent blend of chocolate cream and Chantilly. It’s a chocolate obsession in a cup that’s thick, velvety, cool, and dangerously addictive.

Mimosa Cocktail

Fresh, fruity, and easy to sip, this Mimosa Cocktail brings a zesty brightness with a light, fizzy finish to any gathering.

Top-down view of pizza with prosciutto, fresh rocket, and Grana slivers.

Rocket Pizza with Prosciutto and Grana Cheese

Freshly baked Rocket Pizza with Prosciutto and Grana Cheese makes a light and savoury dinner, with salty prosciutto, peppery rocket, and nutty cheese in every slice.

HONEY AND GORGONZOLA PIQUANT TERRINE WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE

If you follow this site, you know how much I like cheese and that, of all cheeses l like Gorgonzola the most.  I easily find Gorgonzola dolce here in Sydney, which is the creamier and milder version of it, but to come across the piquant version… well, that’s much harder.  So when I saw it…

Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani

Fragrant basmati rice layered over spiced chicken, herbs, and fried onions makes Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani a dish that fills the kitchen with rich aroma.

Raita in a glass bowl topped with cumin seeds, coriander, mint, and red chilli powder.

Raita

Cool, creamy, and refreshing, Raita brings balance to any Indian meal. Thick yoghurt mixed with herbs, vegetables, and gentle spice creates a side dish that pairs perfectly with biryani, curry, or grilled meats.

Linzer Cookies

LINZER COOKIES

When I was a child I was not a big fan of jam (nor honey for that matter)… in the same way, anything with jam in it would always go to the bottom of my “I want to eat that” list. It was just too sweet for me. I used to always choose chocolate or…

CAPSICUM STUFFED FLANK STEAK WITH PUMPKIN CREAM

A little while ago I shared with you the recipe of my family equivalent of a Sunday Roast: Falsomagro and I have already talked about how hard it is to reproduce certain dishes when moving from one country to another (or to the other side of the world, like in my case).  You can find all…

Busiati with eggplant and garlic & thyme breadcrumbs

BUSIATI WITH EGGPLANT AND GARLIC & THYME BREADCRUMBS

Today’s dish is a recipe I came up with a little while ago.  Do you ever have a day when you want to use up ingredients that are taking too much place in your pantry or fridge?  It happens quite often to me and when it does, I take them all out, put them on…

Dulce de Leche Macarons

Light, chewy, and filled with soft caramel, Dulce de Leche Macarons are a joy to bake and even better to share with someone who loves sweet things.
