Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso have declared February 5th “World Nutella Day″ – “a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella”.
Spelt and Hazelnut Bread
Since my parents came over from Italy to spend the holidays with us, I have been baking quite a bit of bread. It is a fact that Italians “cannot eat without bread”, and as I don’t like the bread sold around here, I make my own. I have been making plenty of my easy Ciabatta…
Honeycomb
Crisp, sweet, and quick to make, Honeycomb uses simple pantry staples and turns into a light, crunchy treat that works for dessert bars, cakes, or snacking straight from the tin.
Artichoke Sofficini
If you follow this blog, you will be already familiar with sofficini, as I have published a few recipes already: Ham and Cheese Sofficini, Mushroom Sofficini and Eggplant Sofficini. For all the others who still do not know them, sofficini are delicious pockets of crunchy (yet soft) dough filled with all sorts of scrumptious cheesey…
Almond and Cranberry Bark
I made this bark to give to my friends as part of the annual Christmas hamper. This year, I put a wedge of my home-made Panforte, some Truffle oil, my Rosemary Pine Nut Sablés and this Almond and Cranberry Bark. The perfect holiday hamper must always have some chocolate! I am sharing this recipe today…
Onion Schiacciata
Hosting a lunch or dinner? This Onion Schiacciata is always well-loved. It has a homemade look, tastes incredible, and goes perfectly with almost any main dish.
Panforte di Siena
Panforte di Siena is a classic Italian Christmas cake filled with almonds, honey, and spices. It’s rich, chewy, and filled with the warmth of Tuscan holiday traditions in every slice. Panforte di Siena is a traditional Christmas recipe from the beautiful Tuscan town of Siena. The name means “strong bread”, a reference to its spicy…
Peanut Butter Honey Fudge
There is no Christmas without fudge. I have already shared with you a few of my favourite fudge recipes: Chocolate Fudge, Salted Nutella Chocolate Fudge, Brigadeiros, Cookies and Cream Fudge and Matcha Nama Chocolates. So, today I thought of adding a new flavour to the list: Peanut Butter Honey Fudge. It is very smooth and perfect…
Chai Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread cookies have always been my favourites. I love the fact that they are buttery and not overly sweet and I also like experimenting with different shapes and flavours. This time I gave my shortbread an Indian twist. We love Chai at our place and we always have some during the colder months of the…
Amaretti
I am very happy to share with you the recipe for what is possibly my favourite cookie ever: Amaretti. These cookies have a very ancient history, as they were first made in Italy during the Middle Ages. There are many different recipes and each region of Italy has its own version, but there are 2…
Parma Burger
My kids love burgers, so in an attempt to keep their meals as healthy as possible, I usually make them at home. I always make my own beef patties as I like to play around with flavours and these Parma Burgers were an instant hit. These burgers have an Italian twist. The patties are made…
Homemade Banana Milk
Easy mornings start with simple drinks like this Homemade Banana Milk, smooth and lightly sweet, made from ripe bananas and cold milk, ready in minutes.
Apple Roses
I love apple desserts, don’t you? When I was a child, my favourite cake was this Apple Tart and it is still one of my favourites. Today’s recipe is quite common in Italy and there are a few variations to it. Some people cook the apples, others use them raw, some people sprinkle cinnamon on…
Rosemary Pine Nut Sablés
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…
Onion Pakoras
Vimala was our host for the November Daring Cooks challenge and she invited us to try our hands at some Indian snacks and treats. What amazing timing… as Indians have just celebrated Diwali – the festival of lights. I am very happy to share with all of you the recipe for one of my favourite Indian…
Chicken 65
Crisp marinated chicken fried until golden and coated in chilli sauce creates this vibrant Chicken 65, a favourite Indian appetiser.
Grissini Torinesi
Grissini, aka breadsticks, are a weakness of mine. They originate from the Italian city of Turin, in Piedmont and they have been around for centuries! I love how crunchy they are and I often serve them wrapped in prosciutto as an appetiser or aperitivo. I even like to dip them in Nutella, when I am…
3-Ingredient Nutella Doughnuts
These 3-Ingredient Nutella Doughnuts are soft, chocolatey, and topped with a glossy Nutella glaze for the easiest homemade treat.
Chocolate Salami (Salame di Cioccolato)
A classic Italian no-bake dessert, Chocolate Salami combines chocolate, biscuits, and hazelnuts rolled into a sliceable treat.
Tonkatsu Sandwich
I first had Tonkatsu Sandwiches when we bought them in Shin-Osaka on our way to Hiroshima/Miyajima and it was love at first bite. The bread was so soft and the meat was crunchy, yet tender and juicy: it was perfection in a sandwich. I also really liked the sauce in it, but my daughters were…
Nutella Palmiers
I made these Nutella Palmiers for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. As you know, I always have puff pastry for birthday parties and being Italian, Nutella cannot be skipped either! So, I decided to combine the 2 traditions and I made these deliciously crunchy treats. I added some toasted hazelnuts to them, to enhance both…
Cheese Korokke #SundaySupper
This week the Sunday Supper team is sharing Asian recipes!!! And, as you know, I have been sharing a few Japanese recipes lately, so this week’s theme couldn’t have come at a better time! During our recent Japanese holiday, we had so much amazing food. Korokke (コロッケ) were my youngest daughter’s favourite snack! Korokke are potato…
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
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…
Pesto Pinwheels
For parties, I always serve something made with puff pastry. It is somewhat due to my Italian heritage… I can’t remember a birthday party without puff pastry treats. We have them with anchovies, sausages, or all kinds of vegetables and even pizza ones. You name it. I love to make both sweet and savoury treats….
Earl Grey and Chocolate Shortbread Teabag Cookies
I made these cookies for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. The theme was “high tea”, so these teabag cookies were perfect for it. I had seen them on the web before and I was just waiting for the right occasion to try and make them myself. I have used my shortbread recipe and added some…
Chicken Karaage
Chicken Karaage is a classic Japanese fried chicken dish. It’s so popular in Japan that you can find it in all izakaya, depachika, supermarkets and street food stalls. In fact, we had quite a bit of Karaage during our Japanese holiday. One of my most vivid memories of our trip is eating Karaage under the…
Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches
I made these Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. When I was a child, I would spend part of my summer holidays at my nonni’s house in Palermo. Not far from where they used to live, there was a place called I Cuochini (aka the little cooks) where my mum…
