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.
Low Fodmap Sausage Rolls
I have been looking forward to sharing the recipe for these Low Fodmap Sausage Rolls with you for a while now.

Papaya Banana Bread
Every bake of Papaya Banana Bread feels like sunshine in loaf form, with its soft crumb, tropical flavour, and warm aroma that makes the whole kitchen feel cosy and inviting.
Rissoles
For a meal that’s as quick as it is comforting, try these Australian Rissoles. Made with beef mince and vegetables, they’re a weeknight staple worth keeping on repeat.
Pork Patties with Apples
I just recently discovered this recipe and the family is already hooked! These Pork Patties with Apples are an absolute treat… let me just tell you that the patties are made with bacon. Need I say more? Besides, the combination of pork, apples, and sage is a classic that never fails and one of my…
Roast Pork and Stuffing
Roast Pork and Stuffing brings colour and comfort to the Christmas table, with golden crackling and a fruity filling that tastes like celebration.
Ricotta Pancakes with Honey Butter
Autumn holidays are now over here in Sydney, but we had some fun in the past couple of weeks! One of the days, we decided to have brunch at home. My kids love pancakes. My eldest daughter calls herself the “pancake monster”, so you get the point. Truth is, I rarely make pancakes at home,…
Barramundi Recipe
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, this crumbed Barramundi Recipe is an easy, flavour-packed dish. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s ideal for a fast and satisfying weeknight dinner.
Honeycomb
Crisp, sweet, and quick to make, Honeycomb uses simple pantry staples and turns into a light, crunchy treat that works for dessert bars, cakes, or snacking straight from the tin.
Spiced Potato Wedges with Easy Sweet Chilli Sauce
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…
Creamy Pumpkin Soup
Come September and I start craving warm comforting food. It does not matter that we are in the middle of spring and the days are getting longer here in Australia. I have been living here for almost 10 years, but I think my mind will never get used to the reverse seasons. So, to satisfy…
Melting Moments with Passion fruit Buttercream
After a very Italian recipe, today I am back with something from my new country. I have discovered these amazing cookies only recently and I simply adore them. Melting Moments do really melt in your mouth, the moment you take a bite! They are similar to shortbread, but they are even more buttery and delicate. …
Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce
Soft, spongy Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce layered with warm caramel flavour and smooth texture, a dessert that melts in the mouth and stays tender even after baking.
Hot Cross Buns with Honey Butter
Today’s recipe is not Italian. In fact, I had never eaten Hot Cross Buns before moving to Australia 8 years ago. Hot Cross Buns are traditionally eaten for breakfast on Good Friday and they are marked with a cross to represent the crucifixion of Jesus. Traditionally these buns are made with lots of spices (especially…
Peach Melba
Smooth Peach Melba with bright raspberry scent and cool peaches brings freshness after dinner, combining sweetness and lightness in every spoonful. Happy Australia Day to all my fellow Aussies! In honour of our national holiday, I thought I’d share something sweet and light, Peach Melba. It’s late summer here, and school is about to start…
HOT CROSS BUN CUPCAKES
How cute are these?? That was my reaction when I first saw these beauties over at Not Quite Nigella’s site! Lorraine always has amazing ideas and this was one that stuck to my mind. I saw them last Easter and knew then that I HAD to make them. You see, I discovered hot cross buns…
Shepherd’s Pie
Thick and savoury, Shepherd’s Pie comes with a rich lamb filling simmered until full of flavour and topped with creamy mashed potatoes baked until golden on top.
Pavlova
With a crisp shell, soft centre, and fresh fruit topping, Pavlova brings sweetness and texture together in every slice.
Lamingtons
Tender sponge squares dipped in chocolate icing and rolled in coconut, with a soft crumb and rich coating make Lamingtons a classic tea time favourite.
Australian Damper
A fresh batch of Australian Damper always feels like a treat. The inside stays soft and the crust turns crisp, making it an easy loaf to serve with soup or simple spreads.
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 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…
Mini Meat Pies (Aussie Mini Beef Pies)
Crisp pastry on the outside and a rich, savoury minced beef filling inside make these Mini Meat Pies a must-try. Great for snacks, lunchboxes, or relaxed weekend baking.
Mini Vegemite and Cheese Sandwiches
Mini Vegemite and Cheese Sandwiches turn snack time into fun time. Soft bread, creamy cheese, and a thin layer of Vegemite make a gentle, savoury treat kids love to help prepare.
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. …
