Today I am going to share with you the last of the recipes that I provided to my fellow Daring Cooks for this month’s challenge.  It is another one of my favourites as I love pesto and making cannelloni with it takes this dish to a new dimension!  I have also shown them how to…

Papri Chaat

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…

Gnocchi alla sorrentina

GNOCCHI ALLA SORRENTINA

This week’s Regional Italian dish comes from Campania and more precisely from Sorrento.  I am sure that all of you have heard of this beautiful coastal village, which is renowned for its world famous lemons (from which the best limoncello is made).  I would love to share with you the recipe for limoncello, but as…

Hari Chutney

HARI CHUTNEY

I have a couple of Indian recipes coming up for you in the next few days. Today I want to start with a basic chutney, one that can be used in many dishes and chances are, if you have ever eaten at an Indian restaurant, you have eaten this with some tandoori dish. It is…

Sopaipillas con pebre

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…

Asparagus Risotto with Raspadüra

ASPARAGUS RISOTTO WITH RASPADÜRA

Today I want to share with you the recipe for a risotto I made a little while ago.  I think it it the perfect spring dish.  I know that many of my readers are in the northern hemisphere (and I still have trouble adjusting to the fact that May is autumn down here!), so I…

Eggplant Involtini

EGGPLANT INVOLTINI

Roasted Tomato, Rocket and Macadamia Salad

ROAST TOMATO, ROCKET AND MACADAMIA SALAD

This is the salad I served as one of the sides for my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” party for Foodbuzz 24×24.  It is one of those salads with fancy names that you could easily see on a café menu, yet it is very easy and quick to make at home.  These are the…

FOODBUZZ 24X24: COME HAVE SOME AUSSIE TUCKER, MATE!

Even though I am Italian, I have been living in Australia for the past 6 years.  I love this country so much that I have formally become Australian a couple of years ago and I consider myself Australian as much as Italian. Australia is a wonderful country where people from different cultural backgrounds live together. …

Savoury Zucchini Muffins

SAVOURY ZUCCHINI MUFFINS

I must confess that while I am (still) pretty successful feeding vegetables to my 2 year old, I more often fail with my almost 5 year old.  She is such a fussy eater, so when I saw this recipe I could not resist it and made it immediately: it was a success!  I LOVE savoury…

SPAGHETTI WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ANCHOVIES

Yes!  Finally I get to share with you a spaghetti recipe!  Strangely enough, I seldom do… I think it must be because for an Italian, spaghetti are a staple and I tend to forget how delicious they are.  This is a very simple yet delicious recipe for one of the tastiest spaghetti sauces ever.  Like…

Gajar ka Halwa - Carrot Halwa

GAJAR KA HALWA – CARROT HALWA

Today I am going to share with you the recipe for a delicious Indian sweet: gajar ka halwa (or carrot halwa).  It is one of my husband’s favourite sweets and he has been raving about his grandmother’s carrot halwa since I can remember.  Unfortunately, he does not have his granny’s recipe, so I never made…

EGGPLANT & TRI-COLOUR GOAT CHEESE MILLE-FEUILLE ON COUSCOUS

Our April 2012 Daring Cooks hosts were David & Karen from Twenty-Fingered Cooking. They presented us with a very daring and unique challenge of forming our own recipes by using a set list of ingredients! Sounds easy, uh?  Well… sort of… at least until I read the lists!  Here they go: List 1: Parsnips, Eggplant…

Rotisserie potatoes

ROTISSERIE POTATOES

These potatoes make a great side dish, especially for chicken.  I love to make them when we eat chicken wings and they are always a hit together.  Who doesn’t love roasted potatoes?  And the mix of spices in this recipe is hearty, slightly smoked and full of flavour.  Another quick and easy recipe for a…

Curried Carrot and Coconut Soup

CURRIED CARROT AND COCONUT SOUP

Today I want to share with you the recipe for a delicious, easy yet elegant soup.  The other day I found myself with some left-over coconut cream.  My first thought was: I am going to make coconut ice cream with it.  Then I thought again… and even though I love coconut ice cream, I felt…

ONION SOUP

This dish reminds me of Paris.  I often used to visit la ville lumière in winter and, believe me, it can be quite cold there.  So we would often start our dinner with a warm soup and onion soup would be my first choice.  I love it… well, if you are a fan of cheese…
