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….
Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Cheesecake + ice cream = yesss please! Don’t you just love both desserts? And you can have them both into 1 single dessert with this ice cream. This Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream tastes amazing and you don’t even need an ice cream machine to make it! You can whip it up in 20 minutes! The…
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
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
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 #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 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
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
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
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…
TAHITIAN LIME MOUSSE SHOOTERS – THE SECRET RECIPE CLUB
This is the second month I am participating in the “Secret recipe club” and I LOVE it! It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog. All you have to do is choose a recipe,…
