Smoked Salmon Bagel

Smoked Salmon Bagel

I had my first Smoked Salmon Bagel when, at the age of 17, I visited New York. It was my first time in the USA and I spent 3 weeks in NYC as part of a school exchange program. I have always loved smoked salmon, but I had never had it with cream cheese before….

Chai Cheesecake with Pumpkin Butterscotch Sauce

Chai Cheesecake with Pumpkin Butterscotch Sauce

A few days ago, I reviewed the Toollio, an amazing multi-function kitchen appliance.  I love it and, as promised, I am going to share a few recipes that can give you a better idea of what you can do with it.  Even though you can make lots of savoury dishes with the Toollio, today’s recipe is…

Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

Don’t you just love a good cheesecake?  I certainly do!  I particularly like today’s recipe as it is a 2 layered cheesecake.  The bottom layer is a normal baked vanilla cheesecake, while the top layer also contains Greek Yogurt… this makes the cake a tad lighter to the palate and a bit fluffier on the…

Smoked Salmon Mille-Feuille

Smoked Salmon Mille-Feuille

A little while ago I have shown you how to make puff pastry at home and how to make a beautiful Mille-feuille with it.  So, you should already have a recipe for the classic vanilla custard flavoured Mille-feuille.  Today I want to share with you a savoury recipe.  You could say it is my take on a…

Chicken and Sun-dried Tomato Rolls

Chicken and Sun dried Tomato Rolls #FridgeShelfies

Last week I blogged about PHILADELPHIA #FridgeShelfies, a campaign that wants to inspire Aussies to get more creative in the kitchen, with new and exciting recipes developed using the ingredients already in their fridges.  I immediately loved the concept because, let’s face it, that’s what we have to do everyday.  We open the fridge and…

PHILADELPHIA #FridgeShelfies

I am very excited today, as I am partnering with Philadelphia Australia for a very special event: PHILADELPHIA #FridgeShelfies.  Doesn’t that sound like fun?  With all the selfies going around in social media, why not take a “selfie” of the inside of your fridge for a chance to win a trip for two to Melbourne and…

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…

Sun Dried Tomato Palmiers

SUN DRIED TOMATO PALMIERS

Palmiers, also known as Elephant Ears, are usually sweet pastries, but I love little savoury treats for parties… they are the ones I usually turn to, since I don’t have much of a sweet tooth.  These were no exception: yummy and very easy to make.  And they also looked quite pretty, which doesn’t hurt, especially…

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND AMARETTI CHEESECAKE SHOOTERS

Today’s recipe is very simple and quick to make.  It is another one of my easy recipes that help me finish off leftovers.  I had a little cream and cream cheese that needed to be finished quickly, so I whipped up these white chocolate cheesecake shooters.  I added some amaretti cookies that I had in…

Smoked Salmon and Prosciutto Crespelle Snails

SMOKED SALMON AND PROSCIUTTO CRESPELLE SNAILS

For my daughter’s 6th birthday party, I wanted to make a few savoury items as well.  As the theme was fairies and nature, I thought of playing around with shapes.  My first thought was to make sandwiches and cut them into cute shapes, but then I changed my mind as I wanted something a bit…

Strawberry and Lemon Cheesecake in a glass

STRAWBERRY AND LEMON CHEESECAKE IN A GLASS

Who doesn’t love cheesecakes??  I do!  I must say that I discovered them quite late in my teenage years as they are not an Italian “thing” (though now they are quite popular in Italy too).  I was in New York for 3 weeks as an exchange student when I was 17 and one of the (many) things…

MINI CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES

I love cheesecake… who doesn’t?  I have made my share of no-bake cheesecakes, but to tell you the truth, I still have to make a baked cheesecake at home.  Don’t ask me why, but baking a cheesecake always intimidated me.  After making these little gems though, I think I am going to have to bake myself…
