I must confess that while I am (still) pretty successful feeding vegetables to my 2 year old, I more often fail with my almost 5 year old. She is such a fussy eater, so when I saw this recipe I could not resist it and made it immediately: it was a success! I LOVE savoury…
EGGPLANT & TRI-COLOUR GOAT CHEESE MILLE-FEUILLE ON COUSCOUS
Our April 2012 Daring Cooks hosts were David & Karen from Twenty-Fingered Cooking. They presented us with a very daring and unique challenge of forming our own recipes by using a set list of ingredients! Sounds easy, uh? Well… sort of… at least until I read the lists! Here they go: List 1: Parsnips, Eggplant…
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…
CASATIELLO
Today I want to share with you the recipe of what we ate yesterday. In Italy, the day after Easter is called “Pasquetta” and it is usually spent in the open air with family and friends. People have picnics in the city parks or go to the seaside or mountains for a day of fun…
ONION SOUP
This dish reminds me of Paris. I often used to visit la ville lumière in winter and, believe me, it can be quite cold there. So we would often start our dinner with a warm soup and onion soup would be my first choice. I love it… well, if you are a fan of cheese…
BAKED WITLOF WITH HAM AND SWISS EMMENTAL
Today I want to share with you the recipe for a comforting side dish. I love witlof (endive) and I usually eat it raw, but when I saw this recipe, I coud not resist and I had to try it. It was fantastic and I will definitely make it again. It could be a good…
GORGONZOLA SOUFFLÉ
Ok, I guess by now you all know how much I love gorgonzola… so I won’t bore you with that… suffice it to say that I often have some in my fridge. The other day, I just wanted to cook something new with it. There are certain dishes that I have always been scared to…
GNOCCHI ALLA BAVA
This week’s Regional Italian recipe is quite a decadent one. It comes from the Alpine region of Valle d’Aosta (Aosta Valley) that borders with France and Switzerland. It is a renowned tourist destination for winter sports and summer hikes. It is beautiful, as only the Alps can be. And the food? It is hearty and…

Warm mushrooms, creamy béchamel, and savoury pancetta all wrapped into this beautiful Galette Bretonne à la Forestière. Treat yourself to a French-style comfort dinner tonight!
CHEESE TWISTS AND PILLOWS
These are great both for parties and for appetizers. I made these for Georgia’s birthday party but have also served them with a chilled glass of white wine before a more formal dinner. At first I wanted to make only the basic cheese twists, but then decided to spice them up a bit and make…
HAM AND CHEESE SOFFICINI
After moving to Australia I haven’t been able to eat many of the dishes I grew up with as they simply do not exist. If you have ever moved internationally, you will know the feeling… At the beginning you do not miss the food you left behind as you are too busy discovering all the…
CORSICAN STUFFED COURGETTES – GUEST POST FROM JILL OF MAD ABOUT MACARONS
If you follow me regularly, you may know that I am off for a short holiday with my family for some well deserved R&R. While I am gone, I thought I would leave you in good company. I have wanted to host some guests on Manu’s Menu for a while and this sounded like the…
RISOTTO CON SCAMORZA AFFUMICATA – MY GUEST POST AT AN ITALIAN COOKING IN THE MIDWEST
Today I am a guest at my friend Pola’s beautiful site: An Italian Cooking in the Midwest. I was so thrilled when she asked me to write a post for her! Why?! Well, because I love her site. We have many things in common: we are both Italians living abroad and trying (hard) to maintain…
Stuffed Crespelle
Finished with a light golden crust, Stuffed Crespelle blends soft crêpes, smooth sauce, and melted cheese that create creamy layers from the first slice.
FOODBUZZ 24×24: CHRISTMAS IN JULY
Since I moved to Australia from Italy 5 years ago I haven’t gotten used to the “reversed” seasons yet. For someone who has spent the majority of her life in the Northern hemisphere where it is summer in July and winter in December, I have to live with the seasons reversed and believe me, it…
FRIED MOZZARELLE WITH ANCHOVIES
This is a very easy recipe for a very tasty aperitivo. Aperitivo could be considered the Italian equivalent of the Spanish tapas and it is basically finger food eaten along with drinks. It can also substitute a more substantial appetizer for a dinner party. When I first met my husband he would often tell me…
Moussaka
A warm tray of Moussaka is all you need after a long day. Soft veggies, rich meat sauce, and creamy topping come together in one satisfying bake.
CHICKEN COTOLETTE WITH CHEESE AND A SHOWER OF AWARDS
This is the chicken version of my cotolette recipe with a couple of differences. In this case I coat the chicken with flour before putting it in the egg wash and crumbing it. And, above all, I add cheese to it. It is a very easy dish that your kids and you will love. This…
Rose Cheesecake
Creamy no-bake Rose Cheesecake with delicate rose syrup and a crisp biscuit crust makes a stunning centrepiece dessert. Light floral sweetness and silky layers give each slice an elegant finish.
ARANCINE – AL RAGU E AL BURRO
This is my family recipe for arancine, a very popular street food dish from Sicily. They are fried balls of saffron rice stuffed with either a meat sauce or a cheese sauce. The cheese version is called “al burro” that literally means “with butter”, but they are actually filled with béchamel sauce, cheese, ham and peas, while the…
