Rabbit with Olive tapenade

RABBIT WITH BLACK OLIVE TAPENADE

I know that rabbit is probably an unusual meat in many households around the world, but it is quite common in Italy.  It is very lean and it tastes a bit like chicken.  I have always liked it, even as a child.  Actually I used to like it a lot more than chicken.  Since moving…

Gattò di patate

GATTÒ DI PATATE – POTATO PIE

Today’s recipe is another one of my family recipes and one of my favourites!  It is actually a regional dish that is very popular both in Campania and Sicily (so I will be tagging it under both regions for my Regional Italian dish series), with some variations.  Some people put ham in it instead of…

Baked Jumbo Shells filled with Zucchini and Mushrooms

BAKED JUMBO SHELLS FILLED WITH ZUCCHINI AND MUSHROOMS

Today’s recipe is the perfect recipe to make for a Sunday lunch or any special occasion.  It does require a little work, but it is definitely worth it and it is a dish that can be prepared in advance and then baked on the day.  Needless to say, it is delicious.  My 5 year old…

CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

So, here you have it… one of the most popular Indian dishes in the world.  It is so famous that it has been declared one of the UK’s national dishes!  I did some digging and from what I have gathered, it is more of a restaurant-born dish than a traditional Indian dish (unlike its close…

Vanilla Panna Cotta with Passion Fruit Coulis

VANILLA PANNA COTTA WITH PASSION FRUIT COULIS

Today’s recipe is a delicious twist on a classic Italian dessert.  The base is a simple and evergreen vanilla panna cotta (a great addition to any home chef skill set), but I think the passion fruit coulis on the top is the best part and it gives it a very exotic touch.  I also love…

Beef Bollito

BEEF BOLLITO

Today’s dish is one of my favourite ways to eat beef.  It is a very common dish throughout the North of Italy, but it is especially popular in Piedmont and Lombardy (this is why I am tagging this recipe under both regions for my series on Regional Italian dishes).  There are many variations of this dish that…

Salsa Verde

SALSA VERDE

Today’s Regional Italian dish is Salsa verde (“green sauce”), a very famous Italian condiment that is used to serve poached meats, poultry and, sometimes, fish.  It is a lovely sauce, slightly tangy and very tasty.  It is also quite healthy and full of vitamins thanks to its main ingredient: parsley.  This is a traditional recipe from…

PORCINI, SPECK AND POTATO SAVOURY PIE

Today’s recipe is great in every season.  The ingredients are perfect for the cooler months, but the fact that you can eat it cold (or at room temperature), makes it perfect for the warmer months too.  I actually love to take this to picnics and barbecues when the season is right, but it is also…

Potato Gnocchi with Taleggio and Orange Fondue

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH TALEGGIO AND ORANGE FONDUE

There are many sauces that you can make for potato gnocchi, but my favourite ones are cheese based.  I think the creaminess of a cheese based sauce goes perfectly well with those pillowy bites of goodness!  I have already shared with you the recipe for Potato Gnocchi with Gorgonzola, which is one of my favourite, and…

Water Based Chocolate Mousse with Grand Marnier

WATER BASED CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH GRAND MARNIER

I have come across a few chocolate mousse recipes lately and I have seldom made any as I have a recipe that I always make and that I think is perfect… anyhow, when I read about a chocolate mousse that does not contain any eggs and any cream, I had to do some research on…

Naan

NAAN

I don’t think there is anything as hearty and delicious as home-made bread.  Any kind of bread.  The smell itself is soothing… My girls LOVE eating bread, so I try and make it at home as much as possible.  Whenever I cook an Indian meal, I make naan, either with garlic or, like in the…

Parmigiano Reggiano Gelato

PARMIGIANO REGGIANO GELATO

Today I want to share with you a recipe that may sound unusual, but it is one of the best appetisers I have eaten in a looong time: gelato made with Parmigiano Reggiano!  It is very easy to make, yet it is very fancy… it is one of those dishes that I love serving at…

Pear and Gorgonzola Risotto

PEAR AND GORGONZOLA RISOTTO

If you follow this blog more or less regularly, you already know I have a huge love for blue cheese.  And to me, gorgonzola is the king of blue cheeses… I guess I am also biased as I was born not too far from a place called Gorgonzola, from where the cheese supposedly originates.  I…

Oysters Kilpatrick

OYSTERS KILPATRICK

I must admit I am not a big fan of oysters.  Actually, I do not eat them.  I know, I know… what foodie am I, right??  I just cannot bring myself to like them, which is a shame considering the great quality-at-reasonable-prices-oysters that you can find in Sydney!  But my husband eats them for both…

Green tagliatelle with tuna and ricotta

GREEN TAGLIATELLE WITH TUNA AND RICOTTA

Today I want to share with you a dish that is very dear to my heart.  It is a very simple recipe, but if made with home made pasta it can be a little bit more labour intensive (but so much worth it!).  The reason why I love it so much is because it reminds…

Raspberry Glazed Chicken Wings

RASPBERRY GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS

Do you like chicken wings?  I love them.  It is not something I grew up eating.  In fact I never used to eat them back in Italy, but since moving to Australia I have begun to appreciate them.  I had some wings in my freezer and some raspberry jam left over from another recipe, so…

Polenta Concia

POLENTA CONCIA

Rachael of pizzarossa was our August 2012 Daring Cook hostess and she challenged us to broaden our knowledge of cornmeal! Rachael provided us with some amazing recipes and encouraged us to hunt down other cornmeal recipes that we’d never tried before – opening our eyes to literally 100s of cuisines and 1000s of new-to-us recipes!…

Falsomagro

FALSOMAGRO

When I think of Sunday lunches as a child, I think of this dish.  I guess you could say this was our family’s equivalent of a Sunday roast.  My mum would often prepare this when we had friends over and it has always been one of my all time favourite meat dishes.  When I moved…

Roasted Chicken with potatoes

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH POTATOES – POLLO AL FORNO CON PATATE

This is one of the most classic Italian dishes and I am surprised it took me so long to post about it!  Besides being quite a common dish, it is also one of the most loved ones.  I don’t think there is even one kid in Italy who does not like it.  And what’s not…

Cannelloni al pesto

CANNELLONI AL PESTO

Today I am going to share with you the last of the recipes that I provided to my fellow Daring Cooks for this month’s challenge.  It is another one of my favourites as I love pesto and making cannelloni with it takes this dish to a new dimension!  I have also shown them how to…

After sharing my Cannelloni di magro and Cannelloni di carne recipes, today I am back to share with all of you my recipes from the challenge I hosted at the Daring Cooks’!  This is a recipe I found while browsing the web and it is the only one that was not a “family recipe”.  I…

CANNELLONI DI CARNE

As you know, I am hosting this month’s challenge at the Daring Cooks and I challenged my fellow daring cooks to make Italian Cannelloni from scratch!  After posting about the first recipe I shared with them (Cannelloni di magro), today I will show you how to make beef and pork Cannelloni, which is another classic…
