Today’s post is all about “man food”. In honour of Father’s Day, this week’s Sunday Supper event is about recipes for food that men love to eat. To tell you the truth, it’s not Father’s Day here in Australia (we celebrate it in September), nor it is Father’s Day in Italy (that’s on June 19th –…
Strawberry Jam Crostata
I had some of my Strawberry Jam leftover and I immediately knew what I wanted to make with it. Crostata is a basic Italian cake. When I say basic, I mean that everyone knows how to make it and it is one of those cakes that people often make at home. It is probably the most…
Eggless Yogurt Cake
Yogurt cake is one of the very first recipes I have published on my site over 3 years ago. It has always been one of my favourite cakes: easy to make, delicious and quite healthy (for being a cake) as it does not contain any butter. It is also a very versatile cake as it…
Cannoncini alla Crema #SundaySupper
Today my fellow bloggers from Sunday Supper and I are sharing recipes to celebrate Mother’s Day. I must admit that choosing a recipe for this event was quite easy. I have had these Cannoncini alla Crema in my recipe archive for a little while… I was waiting for the right time to publish them. And this…
Stilton, Apple and Walnut Tarts
Today’s recipe is a delicious one. You all know I have a thing for blue cheese… so when I saw some Stilton at my local supermarket, I could not resist and bought it. I love to pair the strong flavoured Stilton with fruits. I often pair it with pears or peaches, but this time I…
Lime and Coconut Madeleines
Recently I went to a houseware shop, just to look around. But you already guessed it. How can I just “look around” in a shop full (and I mean FULL) of kitchen utensils, gadgets, props of all kinds? In the end, I did buy a few things and among these was a madeleine pan. I…
Chewy Coconut Cookies
Chewy, buttery, and irresistibly coconutty, these Chewy Coconut Cookies are everything you need for a quick homemade snack. Perfect for cosy afternoons or when the kids crave something sweet.
Colomba Muffins #SundaySupper
This week we will be sharing Easter and Passover recipes for #SundaySupper! I cannot wait to see what my fellow Sunday Supper bloggers have made, so make sure to check out all the yummy links at the end of this post! After making Hot Cross Buns, today I am contributing some special muffins. I have…
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…
Creamy Apple Tart
It is autumn down here… and it’s also been quite rainy in the last few weeks. So, what better way to cheer the family up than baking a cake? And being autumn, it had to be an apple cake! I make all sorts of apple cakes and tarts, like my Apple Tart (one of the very…
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…
Orchid and Matcha Macarons
I know I already have a few macarons recipes on the blog like my Salted Caramel Macarons and my Lavender and Jasmine Macarons, but I haven’t shared a new one in a while. Today’s flavour combination is yet another winner: orchid and matcha! Yum! Don’t these macarons sound exotic? They really are. I am sure you…
Taleggio and Hazelnut Tarts
Cheese is probably my favourite food. I love to eat it plain, but I also enjoy cooking with it. One of the things I miss the most about Italy is the variety of cheese and cold meats available at the local supermarket. We are very spoilt for choice. We don’t only find Italian products, but…
Sticky Ginger Marmalade Tea Loaf
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…
Mille-Feuille
Light pastry, smooth cream, and a sweet finish make this Mille-Feuille a dessert you’ll want to save for any gathering. Bake it today and serve it with fresh fruit or coffee.
Durum Wheat Italian Bread Rolls
Warm, golden Durum Wheat Italian Bread Rolls come out of the oven with a soft centre and a light, crisp that fits everything from simple soups to fuller meals.
Sbrisolona
Crumbly, nutty, and lightly buttery, this Sbrisolona brings texture and warm flavour together in a way that feels cosy and irresistibly crunchy.
Radicchio and Taleggio Lasagne
This, together with my Pesto Lasagne, has to be one of my all time favourite vegetarian lasagne! It is very easy to make and it only requires a few ingredients. Yet, the end result tastes amazing. I think Taleggio and Radicchio were created to be eaten together as their flavours complement each other perfectly. These…
Pain Aux Raisins
Flaky layers wrapped around creamy vanilla filling and plump raisins make Pain Aux Raisins a pastry you remember. It brings the scent, comfort, and sweetness of a real bakery tray fresh from the oven.
PROSCIUTTO AND PARMIGIANO REGGIANO GOUGÈRES
I made these Gougères for my daughter’s birthday party and my husband said they were amazing. I really liked them too and I also liked the fact that they can be made in advance and frozen… I am always on the lookout for these kind of recipes when planning parties and get-togethers. I am not very…
MINI CARROT CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I always make cupcakes for my kids birthday parties as I love how festive they look and kids always devour them! As my youngest daughter’s birthday party was all about Miffy (and bunnies), I thought of making carrot cupcakes in the hope of keeping things on the “healthy side” (well… at least they did have…
PIZZA STICKS
These are addictive! They taste like pizza snacks… I have bought some of the ready made pizza snacks here in Sydney and I must admit that these sticks are even better and, being home-made, you know what you are eating. They are as easy to make as cookies and I am sure that if you…
MIFFY CHOCOLATE COOKIES
I made these cookies for my daughter’s 4th birthday party. If you follow this blog, you will already know that the theme was Miffy, the little bunny. I made some Mini Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting, some Miffys/Bunny Marshmallow Pops, a Miffy Cake and these cookies. They were quite successful and they were all gone…
MIFFY CAKE
My little Georgia loves Miffy. She has had a Miffy doll since she ws very little and has never separated from it. She sleeps with it and takes it everywhere she goes… it even came with us to Tahiti! So when I asked her what cake she wanted for her 4th birthday party she had…
CARAMELISED RED ONION AND TALEGGIO PASTRIES
As you know, cheese is probably my favourite food. I like all kinds of cheeses and I often eat them plain, with bread or crackers for lunch… but I also love to cook with them and make all sorts of savoury and sweet dishes. Today’s recipe is utterly delicious: I find it simply irresistible! I…
ROSE DEL DESERTO – DESERT ROSES
Today I want to share with you a recipe that my mum learnt from one of her friends years ago and that has become a family favourite. We call these cookies “Rose del deserto” or Desert Roses as they resemble the minerals of the same name that can be found in the desert. Besides looking pretty,…
