Goulash

Who doesn’t like a good stew in winter? I sure do! And Goulash is one of my favourite stews. It’s tasty, hearty, packed with flavour and easy to make. When I think of Goulash, 2 things come to my mind: Hungary and my grandmother. No, she wasn’t Hungarian, but she loved Goulash and it was…

Mini Carrot Cupcakes

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…

Raita

RAITA

The first time I ate raita, I was in Mumbai.  I was still quite new to Indian food (we are talking about over 10 years ago!) and everything seemed too spicy for me!  That’s when I was served some raita… I loved it immediately as it was refreshing and cooling (the weather was also very…

CHICKEN STIR FRY WITH CASHEW NUTS

I have a thing for Thai food.  I confess.  And of all Thai food, chicken with cashew nuts is my absolute favourite.  I still remember the first time I ate it: I was on holiday in Port Douglas with my husband and that’s where I had my first meal in a “real” Thai restaurant.  For…

CURRIED CARROT AND COCONUT SOUP

Today I want to share with you the recipe for a delicious, easy yet elegant soup.  The other day I found myself with some left-over coconut cream.  My first thought was: I am going to make coconut ice cream with it.  Then I thought again… and even though I love coconut ice cream, I felt…

CURRY PUFFS

I love Thai food.  It is the first Asian cuisine I learnt to enjoy.  I love everything about it: textures, flavours, spices, smells… the full package.  Whenever we go out to eat Thai, curry puffs are always among the appetisers we order.  I love these crunchy little parcels of fried pastry filled with all kinds…

BEEF AND VEGETABLE PATTIES

Do you have fussy eaters at home?  I sure do… my preschooler just refuses to eat any vegetables at all.  So, like many moms out there with the same problem, I have to think of ways to make her eat her veggies.  I often “hide” them in foods that she enjoys eating and these patties…

PENNE WITH SAUSAGE SAUCE – PENNE CON SUGO DI SALSICCIA

This is one of my family’s favourite pasta sauces!  The first time I have eaten this dish was many years ago, at some family friends’ house in Sicily.  Their names are Giovanni and Giovanna.  It is a very earthy pasta dish and my girls love it.  Do not worry about the Brandy/Cognac shot… the alcohol…
