Moist, tender, and easy to make, this Condensed Milk and Coconut Cake combines creamy richness with subtle coconut flavour. It’s ideal for everyday baking or as a sweet weekend treat. My eldest daughter is all about coconut these days, and she definitely takes after her daddy when it comes to having a sweet tooth. She…
Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookies
My girls are home for their spring holidays… a much needed break for everyone before the beginning of the last term of this school year. I cannot believe that my eldest daughter will soon be in year 2 and that my baby will start kindergarten in just a few short months! During the holidays we…
Apple and Dulce de Leche Tart
Golden pastry, soft apples, and creamy Dulce de Leche melt together in an Apple and Dulce de Leche Tart that feels like the sweetest part of autumn.
Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce
Don’t you just love a good cheesecake? I certainly do! I particularly like today’s recipe as it is a 2 layered cheesecake. The bottom layer is a normal baked vanilla cheesecake, while the top layer also contains Greek Yogurt… this makes the cake a tad lighter to the palate and a bit fluffier on the…
Elsa’s Plait
I love savoury dishes much more than sweets, so I always make sure to have a few savoury options at parties as I know kids will need something more than sugary treats. I made this bread plait for Victoria’s Frozen party, to simulate Elsa’s long plait. It’s a soft bread filled with ham and mozzarella. …
Cucumber Sandwiches
The first time I had Cucumber Sandwiches, they were served as part of a high tea I attended with friends. To me, the idea of having savoury treats along with tea sounded quite weird. You see, Italians only have sweets with tea (mainly cookies or pastries), so the thought of eating a cucumber sandwich (of…
Snow Cupcakes
I made these Snow Cupcakes for my daughter’s Frozen birthday party. She loves cupcakes, so they are always on her party menus… This time, I wanted to make them a little different. You see, I love making cupcakes because I think they look really beautiful and you can play around with so many flavour and…
Troll Cookies
Perfect for birthdays or Frozen parties, Troll Cookies look like rocky trolls yet taste melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with pecans, vanilla, and a sweet coating dusted in cocoa and sugar.
Sweet Popcorn Snowballs
I made these Sweet Popcorn Snowballs as part of the menu for my daughter’s 7th birthday party. As the theme was Frozen, I thought having edible snowballs would be a fun idea. These are easy to make and look quite nice. You can make them for a winter themed buffet or save the recipe for…
Frozen Cake
Soft yoghurt layers covered in pale blue fondant create a Frozen Cake with a simple winter style, ideal for parties where children want a dessert inspired by their favourite characters and icy colours.
Olaf Yogurt Cake
Here goes the first of the 2 Frozen themed cakes I made for Victoria’s 7th birthday. She took this one to school to celebrate with her friends. The base is a simple eggless yogurt cake: quick and delicious! I love how it turned out. It looked impressive (people were asking where we had bought it…
Victoria’s 7th Birthday
On the 16th we celebrated my eldest daughter Victoria’s 7th birthday!!! I know I always say this, but I really cannot believe how fast time flies. Victoria is turning into a beautiful and thoughtful little girl and I am trying to enjoy these years as much as I can, as I know she will soon…
Apple, Coconut and Pecan Bundt Cake
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…
Caramel Apple Bars
Winter, I love it. I know I may be among the few people out there who prefer winter and cold weather to summer… but I have always loved it. I love short days, cozy evenings reading on the couch covered with an old woollen blanket while sipping a cup of hot tea. Even better if…
Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
A couple of months ago, I shared with you the recipe for some amazing Coconut Cookies. I had got that recipe as part of my monthly Secret Recipe Club assignment. While deciding on what recipe to make, I had also bookmarked today’s recipe and as I just could not get it out of my head,…
Coconut Tiramisù in a Jar
Oh Tiramisù, how much I love thee! I must admit I have had my share of terrific home-made tiramisù while growing up. Back then it was mostly the classic coffee flavoured version, and I have always thoroughly enjoyed it. Then the fruity versions started to appear, mostly made with peaches and strawberries. I like those too,…
Molten Dulce de Leche Cakes
Cut into these Molten Dulce de Leche Cakes and smooth caramel flows from the centre, rich, creamy, and utterly irresistible. A scrumptious dessert in every spoonful.
Kaffir Lime Panna Cotta with Yoghurt
Silky Kaffir Lime Panna Cotta with Yoghurt has a light citrus note, finished with honey for a smooth dessert served chilled after meals.
Strawberry Jam Crostata
I had some of my Strawberry Jam leftover and I immediately knew what I wanted to make with it. Crostata is a basic Italian cake. When I say basic, I mean that everyone knows how to make it and it is one of those cakes that people often make at home. It is probably the most…
Strawberry Jam
A jar of Strawberry Jam in the fridge means pancakes, crumpets, and porridge are instantly better. Bright, glossy, and generously fruity from the first spoonful.
Avocado Crème Brûlée
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…
Eggless Yogurt Cake
Yogurt cake is one of the very first recipes I have published on my site over 3 years ago. It has always been one of my favourite cakes: easy to make, delicious and quite healthy (for being a cake) as it does not contain any butter. It is also a very versatile cake as it…
Cannoncini alla Crema (Puff Pastry Filled with Crème Pâtissière)
Crisp, flaky pastry wrapped around silky crème pâtissière gives Cannoncini alla Crema their classic Italian bakery texture, with caramelised edges and creamy filling.
Lime and Coconut Madeleines
Recently I went to a houseware shop, just to look around. But you already guessed it. How can I just “look around” in a shop full (and I mean FULL) of kitchen utensils, gadgets, props of all kinds? In the end, I did buy a few things and among these was a madeleine pan. I…
Salted Caramel Popcorn
I only recently discovered salted caramel popcorn. My husband bought a box of them from Costco for the birthday party of one of our daughters and I was quite sceptical about them at first. But that only lasted till the first bite. OMG, how could I have doubted these would taste so good? In fact,…
Orchid Panna Cotta #SundaySupper
For this week’s Sunday Supper, we had to come up with recipes with 5 or less ingredients. This could be a challenge, but one that I like! To tell you the truth, many Italian recipes have just few ingredients as we like to keep things simple, most of the time. This week though I really…
Chewy Coconut Cookies
Chewy, buttery, and irresistibly coconutty, these Chewy Coconut Cookies are everything you need for a quick homemade snack. Perfect for cosy afternoons or when the kids crave something sweet.
