This is obviously not a typical Italian recipe and, unlike many of you, I haven’t grown up eating and baking brownies. I have discovered them relatively late in life, but it was “love at first bite”. And how could it not be? I adore chocolate! After eating them once, I tried to find a recipe…

SWEET AND SPICY CHICKEN WINGS
Chicken wings are a delicacy that I have started to appreciate only recently. Growing up I would always eat chicken breast… no thighs, no wings. I know, thighs are supposed to be tastier and juicier, but I never really liked them. Since moving here I have eaten chicken wings made in different ways and found…
PIADINE WITH SWEET FILLINGS

PANINI AL LATTE – MILK PANINI
I guess we all have memories of our childhood birthdays… I was born in February which is often the month of Carnevale in Italy, so I used to have dress up birthday parties. It was a lot of fun. There would be games, prizes, music and lots of laughter! If I think back about the…
COTOGNATA – SICILIAN QUINCE PASTE
This is another one of my family’s recipes. It is a traditional sweet of many Italian regions (especially in the south) and when my parents were kids, it used to be among the most awaited gifts that Sicilian children would get for “all souls day”. You can find out more about the traditions of “all…

BANANA, PEAR AND GINGER SMOOTHIE – ANOTHER AWARD AND A PIECE OF NEWS
After a delicious but calorie laden sweet, I thought of posting a healthy but just as tasty treat. This simple and sugar free smoothie used to be my afternoon snack when I was child. Well, to be honest my mom would not put ginger in it (this is my own twist to the recipe) as…
TUNA DIP – ANTIPASTO DI TONNO AND AN AWARD!
The first time I have ever eaten this dish, I was at a restaurant in Milan with Clint. It was supposed to be a very good restaurant, yet we were not that impressed with it… the only dish worth remembering was this tuna dip that we had as entree. We actually liked it so much…
