BEEF AND VEGETABLE PATTIES

Do you have fussy eaters at home?  I sure do… my preschooler just refuses to eat any vegetables at all.  So, like many moms out there with the same problem, I have to think of ways to make her eat her veggies.  I often “hide” them in foods that she enjoys eating and these patties…

PASTA WITH CREAMY BROCCOLI AND PINE NUT SAUCE

I have always liked broccoli (which in Italian are referred to as “broccoletti” to differentiate them from the big roman or purple broccoli), even as a child.  Then again, I also used to like brussel sprouts, so I guess I was not a fussy child when it came to eating my veggies.  Anyhow, this very…

Porcini Mushrooms

PAPPARDELLE WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS

This is a classic dish.  It is very easy to make and will impress even the fussiest eater!  Porcini mushrooms are the key here.  Their flavour and aroma has no comparison.  I consider them to be the “king of all mushrooms”.  In my opinion, no other mushroom gets even close to them in flavour.  They…

RUSSIAN SALAD IN HAM CANNOLI – INSALATA RUSSA

Jami Sorrento was our June Daring Cooks hostess and she chose to challenge us to celebrate the humble spud by making a delicious and healthy potato salad. The Daring Cooks Potato Salad Challenge was sponsored by the nice people at the United States Potato Board, who awarded prizes to the top 3 most creative and…

Orange Hummus with tortilla chips

ORANGE HUMMUS WITH HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

Hummus is my favourite dip.  I have to admit that l got to know and appreciate it only once I moved to Australia.  It is not so common in Italy, or at least it didn’t use to be until a few years ago.  I love its tangy and zesty taste and its earthy and sometimes…

Zucchini and Ricotta Quiche

ZUCCHINI AND RICOTTA QUICHE

The other day some friends came over for lunch and I wanted to make something quick and tasty that could be prepared in advance, so that I could spend more time chit chatting with them instead of being busy in the kitchen.  I like making all sorts of quiches, which in Italy are called “torte…

Pumpkin and Barley Soup

PUMPKIN AND BARLEY SOUP

My mom used to make this pumpkin soup often in autumn and winter, when pumpkin is in season in Italy.  It is a comforting and tasty soup, perfect for a cold winter evening.  If you are vegetarian you can make it without speck.  If you do cook it with speck though, try and find the…

COUSCOUS SALAD

Couscous is one of those ingredients that I have always loved.  To tell you the truth I have discovered the pre-cooked version only in recent years.  My mom is from Trapani, a city in western Sicily that is renowned for the most delicious fish couscous on the planet.  I have grown up eating (and enjoying)…

SPINACH RISOTTO – RISOTTO AGLI SPINACI

I love all risotti.  This one used to be one of my favourite as a child.  I liked its colour so much!  Yet, I hated spinach… this was the only spinach dish I would eat.  So it is a great way to make fussy kids eat their veggies.  It works well with my 3 year…

BAKED POTATOES WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

This is one of my family’s favourite side dishes.  Who doesn’t love potatoes, especially when they are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside?  The best thing is that these potatoes are not even fried, they are baked, so they are also healthy.  They go well with everything, especially meats.  I personally love…

EGGPLANT PATTIES – POLPETTE DI MELANZANE

What I love about eggplant is that they are so versatile and they are sweet inside with a slightly bitter skin.  I use them in many dishes, probably because of my Sicilian origin (yes, Sicilians do eat lots of eggplant!).  This is my mom’s recipe for what we call “polpette di melanzane” (eggplant patties).  They…

Zucchini Flowers

FRIED ZUCCHINI FLOWERS – PLAIN OR STUFFED

Zucchini flowers are a staple in my kitchen. I love them and buy them whenever I find them! The first time I made them for my husband he thought I was joking… “I’ll never eat flowers”, he told me straight away. So, I let him be… and started making them. Once ready, I brought them…

"LIGHT" SWEET AND SOUR CAPSICUMS – PEPERONATA "LIGHT"

I love all things “sweet and sour”, or as we say “agrodolce”.  There are many versions of this dish… I could say that probably every family has its own.  In our home, we have 2 recipes!  This is the “light” version, as the capsicums are not fried.  It is really tasty and its tangy flavour…
