I have to decided to set out on a mission: try and find out as many passion fruit based dishes as possible… and then cook them! Hehehehe After posting my Passion fruit and Coconut Crème Brûlée a little while ago, today I am going to share with you the recipe for a delicious Passion fruit…
Baby Shower Shortbread Cookies
Celebrate a sweet new beginning with my Baby Shower Shortbread Cookies decorated with soft colours, playful shapes, and homemade royal icing.
FALSOMAGRO
When I think of Sunday lunches as a child, I think of this dish. I guess you could say this was our family’s equivalent of a Sunday roast. My mum would often prepare this when we had friends over and it has always been one of my all time favourite meat dishes. When I moved…
PUMPKIN GNOCCHI WITH BUTTER AND SAGE
I love making flavoured gnocchi and these pumpkin gnocchi are particularly tasty. They are actually made with a mix of potatoes and pumpkin, so they are as soft and pillowy as potato gnocchi, with a hint of pumpkin flavour and colour. Don’t they look beautiful? I like to make these especially in autumn/winter when pumpkins…
CHICKEN SALAD
I must admit that I had my very first chicken salad when I visited the USA in 1997. Yes… quite late in life (well, I am not THAT old, but the point is, it is not a dish I grew up eating!). I am not sure why, but it is not something my family would…
WHOLE WHEAT SANDWICH BREAD
I know I have said this before… but before I started bogging I do not recall baking bread at home. My husband and I do not eat a lot of bread (I am very “un-Italian” in this aspect) and I always thought that baking bread at home was too complicated and not worth it. My…
SHORTBREAD AND CHOCOLATE HEARTS
I made these heart shaped cookies, to take to a charity tea party that was organised in the neighbourhood. The aim of the event was to raise money and awareness about cancer and it was also a beautiful way to socialise with our neighbours. I had planned to dip the cookies in white chocolate mixed…
Roasted Chicken with Potatoes (Pollo al Forno con Patate)
The holidays can be busy, but Roasted Chicken with Potatoes (Pollo al Forno con Patate) keeps things simple, one pan, a few ingredients, and the flavour of home.
Apple Strudel (Apfelstrudel / Strudel di Mele)
Fill your home with the scent of Christmas by baking Apple Strudel (Strudel di Mele), with golden pastry, warm apples, and raisins that make every slice taste like the holidays.
CANNELLONI AL PESTO
Today I am going to share with you the last of the recipes that I provided to my fellow Daring Cooks for this month’s challenge. It is another one of my favourites as I love pesto and making cannelloni with it takes this dish to a new dimension! I have also shown them how to…
Ham and Cheese Cannelloni
Tender pasta sheets wrapped around a creamy ricotta, ham, and Fontina filling make Ham and Cheese Cannelloni a comforting baked pasta dish with homemade béchamel sauce.
ROOIBOS TEA AND LAVENDER SORBET
And it is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. Each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in…
Cannelloni di Carne
Cheesy, saucy, and full of goodness, this Cannelloni di Carne checks every craving you can think of with tender layers of pasta wrapped around a rich filling.
Cannelloni di Magro
Baked pasta rolls in a rectangular dish with lightly browned cheese topping
THE DARING COOKS’ JUNE 2012 CHALLENGE: CANNELLONI
Manu from Manu’s Menu was our Daring Cooks lovely June hostess and has challenged us to make traditional Italian cannelloni from scratch! We were taught how to make the pasta, filling, and sauces shared with us from her own and her family’s treasured recipes! WHAT?? Yes, you read that right!!! I was this month’s hostess…
VANILLA AND LEMON MINI CUPCAKES
I think mini cupcakes are among the prettiest sweets ever. There is nothing more beautiful and elegant than small, bite sized spongy cakes covered in a coloured swirl of fluffy icing. I only recently discovered these treats, but they quickly became a favourite of mine to bake and I often take them to parties and…
WHITE CHOCOLATE & RASPBERRY VERRINES WITH MASCARPONE & YOGURT CREAM
I often find that great recipes are born by chance (or by necessity?). Actually, some of the best recipes, like the one I am going to post about today, get to see the light of day because I have a few things in the fridge (or freezer) that have to be finished. I then take…
Papri Chaat
Crisp papri topped with creamy yoghurt, chickpeas, chutneys, and sev makes Papri Chaat one of the most popular Indian street-food snacks.
SEV
I always talk about our favourite Indian restaurant in Sydney (Abhi’s), but there is another place that we love to go to. It is called Billu’s Indian Eatery and we like to go there on weekends when they serve some of the food we enjoy the most: Indian street food. They have some of the best…
Gnocchi alla Sorrentina (Sorrento-Style Gnocchi)
Soft gnocchi finished until melty and saucy makes Gnocchi alla Sorrentina a simple dinner with melted mozzarella, tomato sauce, and a golden top.
GÂTEAU BRETON
Bretagne is the area of France I love the most (together with Provence). I went there only once, as a child, but it was so breathtakingly beautiful that I remember it clearly. I have the memory of eating a fantastic fish soup in a restaurant in the walled city of Saint-Malo, while it was raining…
Mushroom and Asiago Calzoni
Filled with mushrooms, speck, and melted Asiago, these calzoni make dinner quick and satisfying. Mushroom and Asiago Calzoni bake up crisp outside and soft inside for a balanced, hearty meal.
PASSION FRUIT & COCONUT CRÈME BRULÉE
Crème brulée is one my favourite desserts. I love to break the thick and bittersweet caramel crust to find the silky sweet cream underneath. I love contrasting flavours and textures in food as you find that they all melt together when you savour them giving you ONE distinctive taste. It is a bit like all…
SEEKH KEBAB
Today I want to share with you the recipe for one of my favourite Indian/Pakistani dishes: seekh kebab. Whenever we eat out, we never fail to order some as an appetiser. They are made of minced lamb with spices and are cooked on skewers, traditionally in a tandoor oven. They are usually served with hari…
GARLIC NAAN
Naan is my favourite Indian bread… and I always order garlic Naan when we eat out. My girls love it too (they are both bread lovers) and as I have been baking much more bread since I started blogging, I had to try and make these at home. I have to say that they came…
HARI CHUTNEY
I have a couple of Indian recipes coming up for you in the next few days. Today I want to start with a basic chutney, one that can be used in many dishes and chances are, if you have ever eaten at an Indian restaurant, you have eaten this with some tandoori dish. It is…
Classic Baked Lasagne
A generous slice with rich meat sauce, creamy béchamel layers, and golden cheese makes this Classic Baked Lasagne a family favourite, ideal for Sunday meals or make-ahead cooking.
