Apple Strudel

APPLE STRUDEL – APFELSTRUDEL – STRUDEL DI MELE

Today’s Regional Italian dish comes from the northern region of Trentino – Alto Adige that borders with Austria.  This region (and some areas around it) was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it shares many culinary traditions with Austria and the surrounding areas.  It seems that Strudel was born in the area now known as…

Cannelloni al pesto

CANNELLONI AL PESTO

Today I am going to share with you the last of the recipes that I provided to my fellow Daring Cooks for this month’s challenge.  It is another one of my favourites as I love pesto and making cannelloni with it takes this dish to a new dimension!  I have also shown them how to…

CANNELLONI WITH RICOTTA, HAM AND FONTINA

After sharing my Cannelloni di magro and Cannelloni di carne recipes, today I am back to share with all of you my recipes from the challenge I hosted at the Daring Cooks’!  This is a recipe I found while browsing the web and it is the only one that was not a “family recipe”.  I…

Vanilla and Lemon Mini Cupcakes

VANILLA AND LEMON MINI CUPCAKES

I think mini cupcakes are among the prettiest sweets ever.  There is nothing more beautiful and elegant than small, bite sized spongy cakes covered in a coloured swirl of fluffy icing.  I only recently discovered these treats, but they quickly became a favourite of mine to bake and I often take them to parties and…

Gateau Breton

GÂTEAU BRETON

Bretagne is the area of France I love the most (together with Provence).  I went there only once, as a child, but it was so breathtakingly beautiful that I remember it clearly.  I have the memory of eating a fantastic fish soup in a restaurant in the walled city of Saint-Malo, while it was raining…

Seekh Kebab

SEEKH KEBAB

Today I want to share with you the recipe for one of my favourite Indian/Pakistani dishes: seekh kebab.  Whenever we eat out, we never fail to order some as an appetiser.  They are made of minced lamb with spices and are cooked on skewers, traditionally in a tandoor oven.  They are usually served with hari…

Garlic Naan

GARLIC NAAN

Naan is my favourite Indian bread… and I always order garlic Naan when we eat out.  My girls love it too (they are both bread lovers) and as I have been baking much more bread since I started blogging, I had to try and make these at home.  I have to say that they came…

Lasagne

BAKED LASAGNE

Today I want to share with you the recipe for one of the most iconic Italian dishes ever: lasagne.  It is a dish for special occasions or Sunday lunches spent with family and friends… so it is more time consuming than a mid-week dish.  But I can guarantee you that you will not mind the…

Raspberry and White Chocolate Macarons

RASPBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE MACARONS

This recipe is long over due!  I made these macarons with my mum when my parents came over for Christmas!  They were to be given to my mother’s work colleagues on her return to Italy and they were a success!  I have also been asked for the recipe… so ladies, here it goes!  Apologies for…

Brioche Burger Buns

BRIOCHE BURGER BUNS

I made these buns to serve with the Aussie Burgers I prepared for my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” event that I organised as part of Foodbuzz’s 24×24 program.  They were sensational!  Soft and brioche-like… just like a burger bun should be.  You can see what I mean from the pictures below… the dough…

Whole Wheat Cheese Crackers

WHOLE WHEAT CHEESE CRACKERS

The other day, I was drooling over checking out Foodgawker and when I saw these, I just could not get over them.  I don’t know if it ever happens to you… you know, when you see something that you “just have to make”, right then and there!  Well, I was lucky enough to have all…

PORK FILLET WITH A HONEY & MUSTARD GLAZE AND FRIED ARTICHOKES

This is one of those recipes that I have been making for such a long time that I do not even remember where I got it from!  It is very simple, yet delicious.  The pork is tender, juicy, sweet and tangy.  I love to serve it with fried artichokes, the way my mum makes them. …

Satay Chicken and Peanut Sauce

SATAY CHICKEN AND PEANUT SAUCE

I love satay, especially chicken satay.  I always order it whenever we eat out and I see it on the menu.  I really enjoy the peanut sauce.  So, I thought of giving it a try at home.  I looked around and found a few recipes, until I settled for Rasa Malaysia’s version.  It was outstanding. …

Ravazzate

RAVAZZATE

Ravazzate are yet another great street food dish from Palermo, in Sicily.  They are soft buns, filled with a thick and delicious meat sauce, covered in sesame seeds and then baked.  I love them!  Among all sorts of fried (yet amazing) street food items to choose from, these never fail to be among the items…

SALTED CARAMEL MACARONS

This is going to be the 3rd recipe of macarons that I am sharing on my blog.  I like all of them: the ones with a White Chocolate and Mint ganache and the ones with Quince Jelly… they are all delicious, but today’s macarons are my all time favourite macarons.  I LOVE salted caramel anything…
