Blueberry Curd

BLUEBERRY CURD

I think I might have said this already, but growing up I never liked berries.  The berries you find in Italy are often too sour for my taste buds, so I never enjoyed eating them (well, apart from the times I would actually pick them on the mountains… but that’s another story!).  So I was…

Sweet and Sour Pork Fritters

SWEET AND SOUR PORK FRITTERS

Sweet and sour pork has always been my favourite Chinese take-out food.  I am sure I have already said this, but I am a big fan of anything sweet and sour.  It must be my Sicilian genes (it is a common cooking style over there) or my love for vinegar… whatever the case I never…

MIXED SALAD WITH YOGHURT AND SAFFRON DRESSING

This recipe will help you to spice up your salad with a low fat and delicious dressing.  Yes, you read that right… low fat and delicious were used in the same sentence!  It is low fat as it is a yoghurt based dressing and it is delicious thanks to the addition of saffron and curry…

VITEL TONNÉ – VITELLO TONNATO

If you follow me regularly, you will probably know that I started writing this blog with the intention of keeping my Italian culinary traditions alive while living abroad.  I LOVE Italian cuisine and even though I cook (and blog about) all kinds of food, my to go to food is always Italian.  Living abroad, I…

MOO SHU WITH CHINESE STEAMED PANCAKES AND HOME-MADE HOISIN SAUCE

The October Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by Shelley of C Mom Cook and her sister Ruth of The Crafts of Mommyhood. They challenged us to bring a taste of the East into our home kitchens by making our own Moo Shu, including thin pancakes, stir fry and sauce.  When I saw this I was a bit…

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…

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…

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…

Duck liver paté and onion jam

DUCK LIVER PATÉ WITH ONION JAM

I love paté. All sorts of patés. It is another one of the goodies I used to enjoy in France and now miss a lot. True, you can find paté here too but there is not the same variety that you find in France. One of my favourite lunch items in Paris is definitely a…

SEMIFREDDO AL TORRONCINO WITH HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Semifreddo is a typical Italian dessert and it can be made with different flavours.  Even though it is a cold dessert (semifreddo literally means “partially cold”) and it is very similar to ice cream, we often eat it for Christmas.  That is why I chose to serve it as one of the desserts of my…

Cocoa Gnocchi with mascarpone and walnut sauce

COCOA GNOCCHI WITH MASCARPONE AND WALNUT SAUCE

This was a complete new recipe to me.  I had always wanted to use chocolate in a savoury dish, but had never had the courage to actually go ahead and do it.  Since I started blogging though, I got a bit more self-confident with my cooking skills and so I thought that my Foodbuzz 24×24…

ARTICHOKE AND RICOTTA MEZZELUNE ON A PARMIGIANO REGGIANO FONDUE

This stuffed pasta dish is the second of my series of posts dedicated to my Foodbuzz 24×24 Christmas in July event.  Italians always have some sort of stuffed pasta at Christmas, especially at their Christmas Eve dinner (at this meal we traditionally do not eat meat).  This does not mean the meal is light though! …

Christmas in July 2011

FOODBUZZ 24×24: CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Since I moved to Australia from Italy 5 years ago I haven’t gotten used to the “reversed” seasons yet.  For someone who has spent the majority of her life in the Northern hemisphere where it is summer in July and winter in December, I have to live with the seasons reversed and believe me, it…

TRIPLE SALTED CARAMEL CUPCAKES AND THE GIVEAWAY WINNER

I must admit it: I am officially in love with salted caramel!  I have discovered only recently and now it is on the top of my “sweet treats” list!  As always when I like something, I have to find a recipe to make it at home so that I can have it whenever I feel…

PASTA WITH CREAMY BROCCOLI AND PINE NUT SAUCE

I have always liked broccoli (which in Italian are referred to as “broccoletti” to differentiate them from the big roman or purple broccoli), even as a child.  Then again, I also used to like brussel sprouts, so I guess I was not a fussy child when it came to eating my veggies.  Anyhow, this very…

Orange Hummus with tortilla chips

ORANGE HUMMUS WITH HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

Hummus is my favourite dip.  I have to admit that l got to know and appreciate it only once I moved to Australia.  It is not so common in Italy, or at least it didn’t use to be until a few years ago.  I love its tangy and zesty taste and its earthy and sometimes…

TAMARIND CHUTNEY – IMLI KI CHUTNEY

This is a very easy recipe for a tasty tamarind chutney.  It’s sweet and sour thanks to the perfect combination of sugar & jaggery and tamarind.  The spice mix also gives it an intense flavour.  You can make it as mild or as spicy as you like.  I tend to make it mild so my…

Spaghetti with fish sauce

SPAGHETTI WITH FISH SAUCE

This is another one of my mother’s recipes.  It is very simple and very tasty.  I love the delicate fish taste that gets in the sauce… yum!  To make it, you need a very bony fish that is also very cartilaginous… any fish suitable to make soup is fine.  I usually make it with red…

POACHED CHICKEN BREASTS IN A MINT SAUCE

This is a very fresh recipe, perfect for a summer lunch.  In fact, the first time I ate it I was in Sicily and it was indeed summer.  My aunt Daniela made it and I was really impressed both by the vivid green color and by the fresh yet delicate mint flavour.  If you have…
