I have always wanted to try a sweet made with matcha. I really like its intense green colour, I think it is so pretty. So when I saw the recipe for matcha ice cream at my friend Nami’s beautiful site Just One Cookbook, I thought that was going to be the perfect way to try…
BEEF RENDANG
When I saw this recipe at Not Quite Nigella’s website I knew I HAD to make it. It looked too good not to try it! So I made it and then I made it again, and again and… you got it… again! It is now officially a recurrent dish in my house and one of…
PINEAPPLE SORBET
I bought a beautiful pineapple to make Salmon with pomegranate molasses glaze and had more than half left. It had a fantastic aroma, but was a little on the sour side, so I thought of making something I had never made before: sorbet. I have made ice cream many times, but had never tried to…
CHICKEN SHAWARMA – COOK AROUND THE GLOBE
I often associate memories with food (or food with memories?) and eating kebab always reminds me of Paris. Strange, eh? Well, not so much. As I have already mentioned in my post on Fried Rice, foreign food restaurants and eateries were not so common while I was growing up in Italy. And that too in…
TARATOR SAUCE
Do you know that sauce that looks like hummus whenever you order a kebab at your favourite kiosk? Well, that’s tahini sauce… or tarator sauce. I love its intense and tangy flavour and I always order it with my kebab! I also found out it is pretty easy to make at home and it has…
WHOLE MEAL PITA
I love home made bread. I think there is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread in the house, at any time of the day. Maybe not many of you know, but some of the best bakers in Milan are actually of Arab origin. And they make fantastic bread. One of my favourite…
TAHITIAN LIME MOUSSE SHOOTERS – THE SECRET RECIPE CLUB
This is the second month I am participating in the “Secret recipe club” and I LOVE it! It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog. All you have to do is choose a recipe,…
PORK ROAST WITH APPLES AND PRUNES
This is another one of the dishes I have learnt from my mom. She used to make it often on Sundays and it is a fantastic and juicy roast. I guess apples and pork are a classic combination, but it is one that I never get tired of. The sweetness of the apples goes very…
SWEET AND SPICY CHICKEN WINGS
Chicken wings are a delicacy that I have started to appreciate only recently. Growing up I would always eat chicken breast… no thighs, no wings. I know, thighs are supposed to be tastier and juicier, but I never really liked them. Since moving here I have eaten chicken wings made in different ways and found…
RED ONION TARTE TATIN
This recipe was one of the first recipes that I had decided to try out when I bought the recipe book in which it was published. And then, for one reason or another, I never got around to making it. The other day I was looking for another recipe and I saw this one. I…
LEMON MERINGUE PIE – MERINGATA AL LIMONE
This is a more fruity version of the classic meringue pie, which I will surely make later on. Being that it is summer for most people in the world, I thought of sharing my recipe for a lemon meringue pie, which is definitely more refreshing in taste. This pie also brings back very happy memories…
SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES GLAZE
Salmon is a kind of fish I have always loved. When I was little, it wasn’t a very common fish in Italy… it would actually be a rare find at the local markets and would be quite expensive, but now it has become quite common and very popular. It is also the only fish that…
CHICKEN AND SAFFRON CONSOMMÉ WITH TORTELLINI
Peta, of the blog Peta Eats, was our lovely hostess for the Daring Cook’s September 2011 challenge, “Stock to Soup to Consommé”. We were taught the meaning between the three dishes, how to make a crystal clear Consommé if we so chose to do so, and encouraged to share our own delicious soup recipes! When…
PIADINE WITH SWEET FILLINGS
Some time ago I shared with you my friend Marco’s recipe for piadine. They are a fantastic bread-like street food from Romagna in Italy, filled with all sorts of yummy goodies. I shared with you the recipe of a savory piadina filled with stracchino, prosciutto slices and rocket salad and I can tell you that…
CURRY PUFFS
I love Thai food. It is the first Asian cuisine I learnt to enjoy. I love everything about it: textures, flavours, spices, smells… the full package. Whenever we go out to eat Thai, curry puffs are always among the appetisers we order. I love these crunchy little parcels of fried pastry filled with all kinds…
QUICK AND EASY BLUEBERRY TRIFLE
This is a very easy dessert recipe that can be prepared in a matter of minutes. The thing is it looks very nice and elaborate, so it will impress anyone you serve it to. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect dessert? After having prepared an entree, a main and a side dish and having spent…
ORANGE CHICKEN
I am a big fan of tangy and savory dishes and a couple of weeks ago I felt like eating Chinese food. So I thought… why not put the 2 things together? I had some oranges on my kitchen benchtop, so I did some research on the internet and came across a very interesting recipe…
FRIED RICE – RISO ALLA CANTONESE
I must admit I have discovered Chinese cuisine only recently. Growing up in Italy when I did, you would not come across too many “foreign” food restaurants. And… I am not old: I am “only” 33! Ethnic restaurants (as we call them in Italy) are becoming more and more popular nowadays, so I would say…
ABHI’S INDIAN RESTAURANT – REVIEW
As I have mentioned in my Baked Anelletti post, last Sunday was Father’s Day in Australia. So, after having anelletti on Saturday, my husband chose to go out for lunch on Sunday and he chose our family’s favourite restaurant to celebrate his special day: Abhi’s Indian Restaurant in North Strathfield. We were first introduced to this…
GELATO DI CASTAGNE – CHESTNUT ICE CREAM
This is one of those recipes that I sometimes create on the spur of the moment because I do not want to waste something that I have left over from another recipe. Don’t these kinds of recipes often turn out terrific? I had some sweet chestnut infused milk left over from making Mont Blanc and…
BAKED ANELLETTI – ANELLETTI CA CARNE CAPULIATA
Today is Father’s Day here in Australia… so happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! On such a special occasion, I usually ask my husband what he would like to eat and his answer is always the same: anelletti! This is definitely his (and my father’s) favourite dish. It is the most popular…
MONTE BIANCO – MONT BLANC
This is the recipe of a dessert that is quite popular both in France and Italy. In fact, the 2 nations share a border and the highest mountain in Europe (Monte Bianco/Mont Blanc) which gives the name to this dessert made with chestnuts, whipped cream and chocolate. Its shape reminds of a mountain covered in…
