It is autumn down here… and it’s also been quite rainy in the last few weeks. So, what better way to cheer the family up than baking a cake? And being autumn, it had to be an apple cake! I make all sorts of apple cakes and tarts, like my Apple Tart (one of the very…
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who doesn’t love Chocolate Chip Cookies?? I fell in love with them at 17, when I visited the States for the first time… I had never eaten them before. Cookies in Italy were different: crunchy and delicious, but different. The Chocolate Chip Cookies I had in the US were chewy and sugary and oh so…
Orchid and Matcha Macarons
I know I already have a few macarons recipes on the blog like my Salted Caramel Macarons and my Lavender and Jasmine Macarons, but I haven’t shared a new one in a while. Today’s flavour combination is yet another winner: orchid and matcha! Yum! Don’t these macarons sound exotic? They really are. I am sure you…
Sticky Ginger Marmalade Tea Loaf
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…
Mille-Feuille
Light pastry, smooth cream, and a sweet finish make this Mille-Feuille a dessert you’ll want to save for any gathering. Bake it today and serve it with fresh fruit or coffee.

Raise a mug for St. Paddy’s with this warm Irish Coffee, a sweet, creamy drink that brings a bit of luck, Irish cheer, and easy celebration to any gathering.
Bomboloni alla Crema
Soft dough, creamy filling, and a light sugar coat make Bomboloni alla Crema such a satisfying treat. Whip up a batch and taste how good homemade can be. Happy Mardi Gras, everyone! As promised in my last post about Ravioli di Carnevale, I am back with another delicious treat that suits this time of the…

Sbrisolona
Crumbly, nutty, and lightly buttery, this Sbrisolona brings texture and warm flavour together in a way that feels cosy and irresistibly crunchy.
Peanut Butter Ice Cream
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…
Chocolate Budino with Strawberry Hearts #SundaySupper
This week’s Sunday Supper event is all about Valentine’s Recipes For Two! So all the bloggers taking part to this event will post recipes for two. Don’t you just love it? I think it is a very clever idea! Obviously, if you want to make one of the dishes for more people, you can simply multiply…
Pineapple Tarts
Tomorrow we celebrate the Chinese New Year: 新年快乐! This is going to be the Year of the Horse… I have read that people born in the Year of the Horse are clever, kind and energetic… they sometimes talk too much, but are cheerful, talented and love to be in the centre of a crowd. 2014…
Peach Melba
Smooth Peach Melba with bright raspberry scent and cool peaches brings freshness after dinner, combining sweetness and lightness in every spoonful. Happy Australia Day to all my fellow Aussies! In honour of our national holiday, I thought I’d share something sweet and light, Peach Melba. It’s late summer here, and school is about to start…
Ras Malai
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…
DELIZIA ALL’AMARETTO
If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Google+, chances are you have already seen a picture of this cake. It was so delicious and it looked so pretty, that I couldn’t resist and gave everyone a sneak peek of it. We had if for our New Year lunch and it was very successful. It is…
Pain Aux Raisins
Flaky layers wrapped around creamy vanilla filling and plump raisins make Pain Aux Raisins a pastry you remember. It brings the scent, comfort, and sweetness of a real bakery tray fresh from the oven.
Couscous Pudding with Candied Oranges
Zesty syrup and tender couscous make this Couscous Pudding with Candied Oranges feel bright and refreshing, with citrusy sweetness and a lighter dessert finish.
JASMINE AND MANGO PANNA COTTA SHOOTERS
These panna cotta shooters are a very elegant and exotic dessert. I believe they would be the perfect dessert for any New Year’s Eve dinner party. When I smell jasmine, I am always brought back in time… you see, in the house I used to spend my summer holidays in Sicily, we had a beautiful…
TIRAMISÙ
Today I am going to share with you my family’s recipe for one of the most classic Italian desserts: Tiramisù. I still can’t believe that I have been blogging for almost 3 years without publishing my Tiramisù recipe! Especially considering that it is one of my all time favourite desserts! The reasons are many: I…
PROSCIUTTO AND PARMIGIANO REGGIANO GOUGÈRES
I made these Gougères for my daughter’s birthday party and my husband said they were amazing. I really liked them too and I also liked the fact that they can be made in advance and frozen… I am always on the lookout for these kind of recipes when planning parties and get-togethers. I am not very…
MINI CARROT CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I always make cupcakes for my kids birthday parties as I love how festive they look and kids always devour them! As my youngest daughter’s birthday party was all about Miffy (and bunnies), I thought of making carrot cupcakes in the hope of keeping things on the “healthy side” (well… at least they did have…
PIZZA STICKS
These are addictive! They taste like pizza snacks… I have bought some of the ready made pizza snacks here in Sydney and I must admit that these sticks are even better and, being home-made, you know what you are eating. They are as easy to make as cookies and I am sure that if you…
MIFFY CHOCOLATE COOKIES
I made these cookies for my daughter’s 4th birthday party. If you follow this blog, you will already know that the theme was Miffy, the little bunny. I made some Mini Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting, some Miffys/Bunny Marshmallow Pops, a Miffy Cake and these cookies. They were quite successful and they were all gone…
SUN DRIED TOMATO PALMIERS
Palmiers, also known as Elephant Ears, are usually sweet pastries, but I love little savoury treats for parties… they are the ones I usually turn to, since I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. These were no exception: yummy and very easy to make. And they also looked quite pretty, which doesn’t hurt, especially…
MIFFY MARSHMALLOW POPS
I love making marshmallow pops for my girls’ birthday parties. They are very fast to make, fun and versatile: you can make almost anything out of marshmallows (check out my Sea Marshmallow Pops and my Pixie Dust Marshmallow Pops). What I like the most though, is the fact that they are easy and quick to make…
MIFFY CAKE
My little Georgia loves Miffy. She has had a Miffy doll since she ws very little and has never separated from it. She sleeps with it and takes it everywhere she goes… it even came with us to Tahiti! So when I asked her what cake she wanted for her 4th birthday party she had…
