After sharing with you the Basic Focaccia recipe, the recipe for Focaccia with Olives and the one for Onion Focaccia, today I am going to post the recipe for another one of my favourites: Focaccia al pomodoro (aka cherry tomato focaccia)! I remember as a child going to the baker right after school and buying a piece…
WHEY PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY MAPLE SYRUP
As promised, today I will show you another way to use up all the whey you have sitting in your fridge after making Greek style yogurt. If you have any more after making Ayran that is! I did a bit of research online on how to use whey and I read that it is often…
AYRAN
After making home-made yogurt, I was left with quite a bit of whey and no ideas on what to do with it! Luckily, I asked my friend Sawsan from Chef in Disguise and she gave me the perfect recipe: Ayran. Ayran is a savoury yogurt and whey drink commonly found in the Middle East. I…
HOME-MADE YOGURT
A couple of months ago, my friend Sawsan from Chef in Disguise posted a beautiful tutorial on how to make home-made yogurt. Since I saw it, I knew I had to give it a try too! This was my first time at making yogurt, but I remember my mum making it often when I was…
PEACH AND ALMOND TRIFLE
Today’s recipe is another “spur of the moment” kind of recipe. I made it a while ago and forgot all about it, until today when I was organising my archive. I actually made it to finish up some of the crema pasticcera, cream and pan di spagna that I had left over from making my…
MINI CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES
I love cheesecake… who doesn’t? I have made my share of no-bake cheesecakes, but to tell you the truth, I still have to make a baked cheesecake at home. Don’t ask me why, but baking a cheesecake always intimidated me. After making these little gems though, I think I am going to have to bake myself…
CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA SHARK MINI CUPCAKES
I made these mini cupcakes for Victoria’s 5th birthday party. The theme was The Little Mermaid and the sea, so I decided to make the icing blue, like the sea. I decorated them with some shark fins made out of chocolate. As I had already made many sweets for the party, I kept the flavours of…
Sweet Sushi
Cake shaped into sushi-style bites creates a fun dessert option, with Sweet Sushi fitting easily into birthday parties and buffet-style celebrations.
SEA MARSHMALLOW POPS
Organising a little girl’s birthday party can be lots of fun… but it also requires a bit of research. Especially when the little one has a clear idea of what she wants (and she’s only 5!). The theme HAD to be The Little Mermaid. So I started looking around the web for ideas (thank you…
SOFT PRETZEL BITES
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…
VICTORIA’S 5TH BIRTHDAY
On the 16th my eldest daughter turned 5 and I have been quite busy organising her birthday parties. She celebrated in school with her friends on the 16th itself and I made her a Little Mermaid Yogurt Cake to take along and some Flounder Shortbread Cookie Pops to give as party favors. When she came…
MASALA DOSA
The first time I ate a masala dosa I was still quite new to Indian food. I think it was the second Indian dish I had ever had (the first being tandoori chicken) and I loved it so much that it quickly became one of my favourite take-away dishes. More than 10 years have passed…
Dosa and Coconut Chutney
Thin Dosa and Coconut Chutney with crisp edges and a soft centre bring a gentle tang, cooked fresh for a traditional South Indian pairing.
FLOUNDER SHORTBREAD COOKIE POPS
As I have written in my previous post, yesterday was my eldest daughter’s 5th birthday. She had a small celebration with her friends at school and I made her a Little Mermaid yogurt cake to take with her. You may remember that last year I had made Hello Kitty cake pops to give to her…
THE LITTLE MERMAID YOGURT CAKE
Today is my eldest daughter’s 5th birthday. I cannot believe it’s already been 5 years since I first held her in my arms… she was so small! And now she’s growing to be a beautiful and sweet girl. I will be very busy in the next few days as we will be celebrating her birthday…
FRUIT SALAD EN PAPILLOTE – MACEDONIA AL CARTOCCIO
Our July 2012 Daring Cooks’ host was Sarah from All Our Fingers in the Pie! Sarah challenges us to learn a new cooking technique called “Cooking En Papillote” which is French and translates to “cooking in parchment”. As I already said in my Baked Feta post (the first of the recipes I created this month), I was really…
PASSION FRUIT CURD
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.
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…
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…
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…
PAPRI CHAAT
So, here you have it! Today I am sharing with you the recipe of our favourite Indian chaat: papri chaat. As I wrote in my post on Sev, chaats are snacks served with chutneys (typically Hari chutney and Tamarind chutney) and spices. It is a very common street food that is sold from carts all…
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…
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.
RASPBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE MACARONS
This recipe is long over due! I made these macarons with my mum when my parents came over for Christmas! They were to be given to my mother’s work colleagues on her return to Italy and they were a success! I have also been asked for the recipe… so ladies, here it goes! Apologies for…
SOPAIPILLAS CON PEBRE Y PASADAS
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…
