Today I’d like to share with you a traditional Easter recipe from the Italian region of Umbria. Umbria is famous around the world for its hilly landscapes and old towns, such as Assisi and Orvieto to name just two. It is a wonderful area of Italy and besides being beautiful, it also boasts delicious hearty…
Delizie al Limone
Today’s recipe comes from Naples and the Sorrentine peninsula, in the region of Campania: Delizie al Limone (Lemon Delights). They are sponge cakes filled with a lemon cream, brushed with Limoncello syrup and covered in a lemon and whipped cream glaze. Yes, you got that right… they are absolutely decadent. As I have recently shared…
Cherry Tomato Tarte Tatin
Tarte Tatins are among my favourite tarts… and I like them both sweet and savoury. The reason is simple: they obviously taste amazing with that hint of caramel on the top, but they also look a thousand bucks. Shiny, luscious and plain scrumptious. I have already shared the recipe for one of my favourites: Red…
Pain au Chocolat
Last year I shared with you the recipes for how to make the perfect French Croissants and Pain aux Raisins. Well… today I am back to show you how to make the missing item to have on a French breakfast table: Pain au Chocolat, my kids’ favourite! I made these when I made croissants and pain…
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. …
Swordfish Impanata
Today’s dish is another one of my Sicilian recipes: Swordfish Impanata. Impanata is Italian for empanada and they are basically the same thing: pastry with a filling. Unlike the South American empanadas, this Sicilian version is made like a pie and portioned only after cooking. You shouldn’t be surprised to find such a dish in…
Eggplant Sofficini
If you follow this blog, you will be already familiar with sofficini, as I have already published a Ham and Cheese Sofficini recipe and a Mushroom Sofficini recipe a while ago. For all the others who still do not know them, sofficini are delicious pockets of crunchy (yet soft) dough filled with all sorts of scrumptious cheesey…
Chocolate Chip Banana and Pumpkin Bread
I love new recipes that come to life using leftovers. Doesn’t it feel great to clean out the fridge (or pantry) AND enjoy something new? Today’s recipe came about just like that. I had some overripe bananas and some leftover pumpkin purée that absolutely needed to be finished, quickly! So, I mixed them up to…
Migliaccio
Today is Mardis Gras… and in Italy it is the last day of Carnevale. Carnevale is one of the festivities I miss the most. As a child, I loved going around the streets in my town all dressed up, playing pranks and throwning coloured confetti at my friends. The best time of all was the…
Garlic Knots
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…
Za’atar Manouche
Manouche, also known as Manakish, is a popular Levantine bread topped with a thyme mixture (Za’atar), cheese, or ground meat. It is similar to a pizza and it can be sliced or folded. It is often served for breakfast, which makes this bread perfect for the Middle Eastern breakfast I had to prepare for this…
Salted Caramel Lava Cakes
With Valentine’s Day coming up, what could be better than a chocolate recipe? Well, a Salted Caramel AND Chocolate recipe, right? And these lava cakes are perfect for such a special occasion. So much so that this recipe is for 2. I love all lava cakes (remember this Molten White Chocolate Pudding?) and I admit…
Angelica Cake with Nutella
Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso have declared February 5th “World Nutella Day 2015″ – “a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella”. Raise your hand if you like Nutella!!! It’s got quite a few fans in my house! So, World Nutella Day is always awelcome around…
Vanilla Cupcakes with Jasmine Buttercream
I must admit that this is one of those recipes that came about by chance. Actually, it was created out of… leftovers. I once made my Lavender and Jasmine Macarons and did not use all the Jasmine buttercream. I had no intention of throwing it out and, even though the temptation was quite strong, I resisted…
Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies
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…
Quick No- Knead Ciabatta Bread
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a few photos of this bread on MsM’s facebook page and did get quite a few requests for the recipe, both online and via email. So, here you have it: quick no-knead Ciabatta bread! It is a really simple recipe and, unlike other no-knead bread recipes, it is also…
Chocolate Cake with Zabaione
Hello and Happy New Year everyone! This is my first post for 2015 and to celebrate the beginning of a new year, it just had to be a dessert… and a chocolate one at that. This is a very easy and moist chocolate cake, made with very little flour. It is not too sweet, and…
Cinnamon Apple Chips
During the Christmas holidays, we all tend to eat a lot. And we also snack a lot more than during other times of the year. I find it easier to snack on healthy food and fresh fruits here in Australia, as it is summer, but for all my friends and family up in the Northern…
Pandoro
Christmas in Italy means Panettone or Pandoro. There’s a huge rivalry between the supporters of these two traditional sweets and very often people who like one will tell you they dislike the other.
Kitty Cat Bread Buns
I made these savoury Kitty Cat Bread Buns for my daughter’s 5th birthday party and they were a hit. Not only did they taste yummy, they also looked quite cute, which is always an important factor, especially for a kid’s party. The brown dough is made with cocoa powder, but rest assured that the cocoa powder…
Kitty Cat Doughnuts
I saw these on the internet while searching for ideas for my 5 year old’s kitten themed birthday party. Apparently these Kitty Cat Doughnuts are quite popular in Japan. So I set on a mission to replicate them at home. I have a little confession to make. I don’t like doughnuts. Or so I thought. …
Onion Crusted Scotch Fillet with home-made Chips
A few weeks ago, I reviewed the Toollio, a very handy kitchen tool that really makes your life easier when it comes to cooking. Today, I want to show you yet another recipe that I have created using this fantastic appliance: Onion Crusted Scotch Fillet with home-made Chips. It is another very quick meal idea, as…
