I made this Cookies and Cream Fudge to give to friends as part of this year’s Christmas hamper.  It is so easy to make and it tastes amazing.  My husband is a huge fan of Cookies and Cream anything, so he was over the moon when I made it.  But he wasn’t the only one…

Single broken glass cupcake with sugar shard and strawberry syrup blood on green plate.

Broken Glass Cupcakes

These bloody Broken Glass Cupcakes make a spooky Halloween centrepiece with shards of sugar glass and sticky “blood.” The soft pumpkin sponge and sweet buttercream taste every bit as wicked as they look. Bloody broken glass cupcakes! Don’t they look scary? I love how spooky they turn out, yet they’re completely edible and so much…

Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookies

Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

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…

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,…

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…

Margarita Chicken Wings

In the recent couple of years I have come to LOVE eating chicken wings.  They are really not something Italians eat a lot of.  I mean, we do eat them when we cook a whole chicken and we use them a lot to make chicken broth, but they are not an appetiser kind of food…
