Sip something refreshing with Rose Lassi, a chilled yoghurt drink with soft floral sweetness and creamy texture, perfect for warm days or alongside richly spiced meals. We often celebrate special occasions with my family over lunch at our favourite Indian restaurant, Abhi’s. One thing we always order is lassi. My girls love mango lassi, and…
Pavlova
With a crisp shell, soft centre, and fresh fruit topping, Pavlova brings sweetness and texture together in every slice.
FAIRY BREAD
The first time I ever heard about “fairy bread” I was at a play-date with 2 other mums. When they explained to me what it was I found it hard to believe that someone could really go crazy for something like “that”. But let me tell you that I completely changed my mind the first…
Lamingtons
Tender sponge squares dipped in chocolate icing and rolled in coconut, with a soft crumb and rich coating make Lamingtons a classic tea time favourite.
Australian Damper
A fresh batch of Australian Damper always feels like a treat. The inside stays soft and the crust turns crisp, making it an easy loaf to serve with soup or simple spreads.
ROAST TOMATO, ROCKET AND MACADAMIA SALAD
This is the salad I served as one of the sides for my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” party for Foodbuzz 24×24. It is one of those salads with fancy names that you could easily see on a café menu, yet it is very easy and quick to make at home. These are the…
SEARED KANGAROO FILLET STEAKS WITH RASPBERRY GLAZE
I am sure the majority of you are wondering what kangaroo tastes like. Well, it is hard to describe its taste, but I would probably compare it to venison, though it is milder and not as gamey. I still remember the first time I ate it… I was in Uluru and kangaroo was one of…
Aussie Burger with the Lot
Layers of juicy beef, melted cheese, crispy bacon, sweet pineapple, beetroot, and a fried egg create the Aussie Burger with the Lot that crunches, sizzles, and melts in your mouth.
BRIOCHE BURGER BUNS
I made these buns to serve with the Aussie Burgers I prepared for my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” event that I organised as part of Foodbuzz’s 24×24 program. They were sensational! Soft and brioche-like… just like a burger bun should be. You can see what I mean from the pictures below… the dough…
Mini Meat Pies (Aussie Mini Beef Pies)
Crisp pastry on the outside and a rich, savoury minced beef filling inside make these Mini Meat Pies a must-try. Great for snacks, lunchboxes, or relaxed weekend baking.
Mini Vegemite and Cheese Sandwiches
Mini Vegemite and Cheese Sandwiches turn snack time into fun time. Soft bread, creamy cheese, and a thin layer of Vegemite make a gentle, savoury treat kids love to help prepare.
FOODBUZZ 24X24: COME HAVE SOME AUSSIE TUCKER, MATE!
Even though I am Italian, I have been living in Australia for the past 6 years. I love this country so much that I have formally become Australian a couple of years ago and I consider myself Australian as much as Italian. Australia is a wonderful country where people from different cultural backgrounds live together. …
SALTIMBOCCA ALLA ROMANA
Today’s Regional Italian dish comes from Lazio, Rome’s region. In fact, this dish is Roman… so much so, that it is called Saltimbocca alla romana (which literally means “jumps in the mouth Roman style”). This is one of those dishes that you can easily find outside of Italy and that I have seen made in…
SAVOURY ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
I must confess that while I am (still) pretty successful feeding vegetables to my 2 year old, I more often fail with my almost 5 year old. She is such a fussy eater, so when I saw this recipe I could not resist it and made it immediately: it was a success! I LOVE savoury…
COCONUT-CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD COOKIES – THE SECRET RECIPE CLUB
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. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
SPAGHETTI WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ANCHOVIES
Yes! Finally I get to share with you a spaghetti recipe! Strangely enough, I seldom do… I think it must be because for an Italian, spaghetti are a staple and I tend to forget how delicious they are. This is a very simple yet delicious recipe for one of the tastiest spaghetti sauces ever. Like…
GAJAR KA HALWA – CARROT HALWA
Today I am going to share with you the recipe for a delicious Indian sweet: gajar ka halwa (or carrot halwa). It is one of my husband’s favourite sweets and he has been raving about his grandmother’s carrot halwa since I can remember. Unfortunately, he does not have his granny’s recipe, so I never made…
GNOCCO FRITTO
Today’s Regional Italian dish comes from the region of Emilia Romagna, an area where you find some of the best Italian food. Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, Culatello, Parmigiano Reggiano, Tortellini, just to name a few, all come from here. It is “foodie heaven” and I cannot recommend it enough for a taste of amazing Italian…
BALSAMIC, MAPLE & MISO GLAZED PORK SPARE RIBS WITH SWEET & SOUR CAULIFLOWER QUENELLES

EGGPLANT & TRI-COLOUR GOAT CHEESE MILLE-FEUILLE ON COUSCOUS
Our April 2012 Daring Cooks hosts were David & Karen from Twenty-Fingered Cooking. They presented us with a very daring and unique challenge of forming our own recipes by using a set list of ingredients! Sounds easy, uh? Well… sort of… at least until I read the lists! Here they go: List 1: Parsnips, Eggplant…
WHOLE WHEAT CHEESE CRACKERS
The other day, I was drooling over checking out Foodgawker and when I saw these, I just could not get over them. I don’t know if it ever happens to you… you know, when you see something that you “just have to make”, right then and there! Well, I was lucky enough to have all…
CASATIELLO
Today I want to share with you the recipe of what we ate yesterday. In Italy, the day after Easter is called “Pasquetta” and it is usually spent in the open air with family and friends. People have picnics in the city parks or go to the seaside or mountains for a day of fun…
SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATES
Today is Easter and Easter calls for chocolate, lots of chocolate! We will be having Easter eggs at home, but today I want to share with you the recipe for something else: chocolates filled with salted caramel! I love salted caramel and I still had some of the Blue Persian salt caramel sauce that I had…
PASTIERA NAPOLETANA
Today I want to share with you the recipe for one of the most classic Italian Easter sweets: pastiera napoletana. As the name suggests, it is a typical cake from the city of Naples and it is a very ancient dish, as it appears to have originated before the Christian era, when it was eaten…
RISOTTO ALLA MARINARA
Today I am going to share with you the guest post I wrote for Tina at Pinay Cooking Corner! Please, if you haven’t done it yet… stop by my friend Tina’s site to read my guest post and all of Tina’s fantastic recipes and say hi to her!!! 🙂 When my dear friend Tina asked…
ROTISSERIE POTATOES
These potatoes make a great side dish, especially for chicken. I love to make them when we eat chicken wings and they are always a hit together. Who doesn’t love roasted potatoes? And the mix of spices in this recipe is hearty, slightly smoked and full of flavour. Another quick and easy recipe for a…
PEAR ICE CREAM IN PEAR WAFER BASKETS WITH SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE
Pear is one of my favourite fruits. I love the fact that it comes in many different varieties and that every season has its own special pear. I love that they are naturally sweet and refreshing. Even though I like them so much, I had never made ice cream with them. The other day I…
