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…
Banana Milk
Today’s post is a special one. The recipe itself is so easy that I am not even sure it could be passed on as a “recipe” per se, but it is my eldest daughter favourite treat and she insisted I “put it on the blog”… so here it is. When I was a child, my…
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
I love Indian food and I try to cook it as much as possible at home. I also love to eat out though and we recently tried out a new place, not too far from home. They had a dish on their menu that caught my attention: Chicken 65. The name was too intriguing, so…
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…
Three-Ingredient Nutella Doughnuts

Chocolate Salami
I am very excited about today’s recipe, as it is such a classic of Italian cooking. I cannot believe I haven’t shared it already! Chocolate Salami is found in many regions in Italy and there are many variations to the recipe, depending on where you are eating it. The base is always the same: chocolate…
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…

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…
Pumpkin Pie White Hot Chocolate
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…
Griwech
Kouky from “Cuisine à 4 mains”, challenged us to make Griwech, a popular Algerian dessert that is a full flavoured delicacy that has both a melt-in-the-mouth and a crispy texture. Ohhhh this month’s Daring Cooks challenge was GOOD. As Kouky says: “Griwech is an Algerian pastry prepared with a thinly flattened dough, shaped in different…
Beef Korokke
During our recent Japanese holiday, we had a lot of amazing food. In fact, Japanese cuisine is so much more than just (fantastic) sushi and sashimi! My youngest daughter especially liked korokke (コロッケ), aka potato croquettes coated in panko and then deep fried. Need I say more? Maybe I should also specify that there are…
