Australia Day 2020

On the 26th of January, we celebrate Australia Day, so I thought it would be nice to share some of my most popular Australian recipes in this Australia Day 2020 Recipe Round-Up.

Lavazza #FromItalywithPassion

I am very excited about today’s post… as it is all about coffee and Italy.  If you follow me on Facebook, you would have seen that I posted a special message for Manu’s Menu a few days ago.  Yep, the Lavazza barista contacted me to help him spread the word about the Lavazza #FromItalywithPassion campaign.  I…

Chicken and Sun-dried Tomato Rolls

Chicken and Sun dried Tomato Rolls #FridgeShelfies

Last week I blogged about PHILADELPHIA #FridgeShelfies, a campaign that wants to inspire Aussies to get more creative in the kitchen, with new and exciting recipes developed using the ingredients already in their fridges.  I immediately loved the concept because, let’s face it, that’s what we have to do everyday.  We open the fridge and…

#FridgeShelfies

PHILADELPHIA #FridgeShelfies

I am very excited today, as I am partnering with Philadelphia Australia for a very special event: PHILADELPHIA #FridgeShelfies.  Doesn’t that sound like fun?  With all the selfies going around in social media, why not take a “selfie” of the inside of your fridge for a chance to win a trip for two to Melbourne and…

Peach Melba

Peach Melba

Happy Australia Day to all my fellow Aussies!  In honour of our National Holiday, I thought I’d share with you a special dessert: Peach Melba.  This delicious and very easy to make dessert of peaches and raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream was invented in the 1890’s by the French chef Auguste Escoffier at the…

Oysters Kilpatrick

OYSTERS KILPATRICK

I must admit I am not a big fan of oysters.  Actually, I do not eat them.  I know, I know… what foodie am I, right??  I just cannot bring myself to like them, which is a shame considering the great quality-at-reasonable-prices-oysters that you can find in Sydney!  But my husband eats them for both…

Pavlova

PAVLOVA

The last recipe from my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” party is the Pavlova recipe.  I kept the best for last…  I have to warn you.  It is not an easy dessert to make and mine did not come out perfect either, as it did crack a bit.  Luckily the taste was not affected…

Lamingtons

LAMINGTONS

Lamingtons are squares or rectangles of sponge cake, dipped in chocolate icing and coated witn desiccated coconut.  They are another iconic Australian food and I served them with tea for my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” party.  I had never made them before but was very happy I did as they were so much…

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…

Seared Kangaroo with Raspberry Glaze

SEARED KANGAROO FILLET STEAKS WITH RASPBERRY GLAZE

I am sure the majority of you are wondering what kangaroo tastes like.  Well, it is hard to describe its taste, but I would probably compare it to venison, though it is milder and not as gamey.  I still remember the first time I ate it… I was in Uluru and kangaroo was one of…

Aussie Burger with the lot

AUSSIE BURGER WITH “THE LOT”

Today I am going to share with you the recipe of what is known as “Aussie burger with the lot”.  The reason for the name is evident: this isn’t your everyday cheese burger… it is made up of A LOT of goodies!  And it is irresistible!  What’s not to love about a sandwich filled with…

Mini Meat Pies

MINI MEAT PIES

You cannot get more Aussie than this: meat pie is an iconic Australian dish and it had to be a part of my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” 24×24 event.  You can get it almost anywhere and there are also shops that only sell these.  They can be made with different fillings (chicken and…

Mini Vegemite and Cheese Sandwiches

MINI VEGEMITE AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Vegemite is probably the most iconic Australian product.  Wiki describes it as “a dark brown Australian food paste made from yeast extract.  […]  Vegemite is made from used brewers’ yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, various vegetables, wheat and spice additives. It is salty, slightly bitter, and umami or malty – similar to beef bouillon.” …

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. …

Sausage Rolls

SAUSAGE ROLLS

Today we celebrate Australia Day!  You all know I was born and brought up in Italy… but I also became an Australian citizen 2 years ago.  I love this country and I am very happy to be part of such a wonderful and diverse community.  People often ask me how I cope so far from…
