Home-made Aioli

Home-made Aioli

Mmmmm aioli! I love it. It’s a condiment that gained a lot of popularity in recent years, but for the few who still don’t know what it is, aioli (also known as alioli or allioli) is basically a garlic flavoured mayonnaise traditionally made in some areas of France and Spain.  Having grown up in Europe, I…

Fattoush with Sumac Dressing

Fattoush with Sumac Dressing

For March’s Daring Cooks’ Challenge, Ruth, Shelley and Sawsan asked us to totally veg out! We made salads and dressings, letting the sky be the limit as we created new flavors and combinations that reflect our own unique tastes. Ohhhh yesss!  That’s exactly what went through my mind when I read about the challenge!  It…

Fish fillet with Tahitian Vanilla Sauce

Fish Fillet with Tahitian Vanilla Sauce

Today’s recipe may sound highly unusual, but it really isn’t.  When we visited Tahiti a few months ago, “fish with vanilla sauce” was on every restaurant’s menu and once we tried it, it wasn’t hard to understand why.  It is an amazing combination and one of the tastiest ways to eat fish.  Obviously, people in Tahiti…

Peach Melba

Peach Melba

Happy Australia Day to all my fellow Aussies!  In honour of our National Holiday, I thought I’d share with you a special dessert: Peach Melba.  This delicious and very easy to make dessert of peaches and raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream was invented in the 1890’s by the French chef Auguste Escoffier at the…

Fresh Tuna Ragu

FRESH TUNA RAGU

This is a recipe that I learnt from my dad.  He loves tuna (and so do I), so whenever we saw tuna at the markets, we would buy some and make a ragù with it.  Ragù is a generic term that Italians use for tomato based sauces predominantely made with meat, but not only.  The…

Banana Cake with Maple Butterscotch Sauce

CHILLED YOGURT CAKE WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

Today’s dessert is a cold treat and it is one that is actually not too bad for you as it is made (mainly) with natural yogurt.  Back in Italy there is a famous pre mixed version of this that is sold in little boxes… you mix in some fresh ingredients and there you have your…

Pineapple Crumble

PINEAPPLE CRUMBLE WITH BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Today’s recipe is a spur of the moment kind of recipe.  I had some fresh pineapple in the fridge and some butterscotch sauce leftover from another dish and I knew they would taste delicious together.  So, I came up with a quick dessert: pineapple and butterscotch crumble.  We all loved it.  The slight tanginess of…

Grilled Radicchio with Gorgonzola Sauce

GRILLED RADICCHIO WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Today’s recipe is very simple and quick to make, and it makes for a very tasty and elegant appetiser, or even main dish if you increase the quantities.  I love it and make it often for a quick and satisfying lunch.  I had it for the first time at a restaurant in Milan and it…

SPINACH, ROCKET AND STRAWBERRY SALAD WITH STRAWBERRY VINAIGRETTE

I have seen quite a few recipes of salads that include strawberries lately and I was very curious to try one myself.  I usually enjoy having fruits in savoury dishes and I think strawberries (and berries in general) make for fantastic savoury ingredients as they are slightly tart and not overly sweet.  I have even…

MATAROCCO

For this week’s Regional Italian dish I am going to take you back to Sicily.  Today’s recipe is really easy and really tasty, it is one of those family recipes that we would always have during our summer holidays.  It is hearty and delicious, full of “local” flavours as all the ingredients are easily available in…

The June Daring Cooks’ challenge sure kept us rolling – meatballs, that is! Shelley from C Mom Cook and Ruth from The Crafts of Mommyhood challenged us to try meatballs from around the world and to create our own meatball meal celebrating a culture or cuisine of our own choice. Wow! What a great theme!…

Kothey Momo

KOTHEY MOMO

Today I want to share with you the recipe for Momo, the Himalayan Dumplings.  I had them for the first time at a Nepalese Restaurant a little while ago and I simply loved them.  There are many variations of momos and they can be filled with yak, mutton, chicken, pork, vegetables…  The filling varies mainly…

Spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce

SPAGHETTI WITH HOME-MADE TOMATO SAUCE

I cannot believe it!  I have blogged for over 2 years and I haven’t posted this recipe yet!  Spaghetti with home-made tomato sauce form the BASE of Italian cuisine.  So much so that Italians refer to this dish as pasta “al sugo”, which means “with sauce”, taking for granted that the sauce is tomato sauce. …

GARAM MASALA AND PRESERVED LEMON HUMMUS

WHITE CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA SHOOTERS WITH RASPBERRY COULIS

PINEAPPLE & COCONUT GLAZED PORK SPARE RIBS

Today’s post is a “fight-against-waste” recipe!  I had a nice rack of pork spare ribs in the freezer, so I gathered all the left overs I had in my fridge and built up a recipe from there.  I also did some research on the web and saw I could make something yummy out of these…

Pork Meatballs with Peanut Sauce

PORK MEATBALLS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Thai is one of my favourite Asian cuisines.  Believe it or not, there were no Thai restaurants in Milan, at least up until 6 years ago!  Some Chinese restaurants would serve some Thai dishes, but they obviously did not have a lot of variety.  That’s why, the moment I saw it, I bought this little…

Home-made Chocolate Syrup

HOME-MADE CHOCOLATE SYRUP

Today I want to share with you a very easy recipe.  I love making at home, food that you would usually buy ready made at the stores.  It is often so much tastier and definitely healthier!  I actually had to make this for another recipe that called for chocolate syrup, which is an item that…
