What could be better than a fresh fruit salad on a hot summer day? I love fruit salads in general and this Low Fodmap Fruit Salad with Ginger Lime Syrup is exceptional: refreshing and delicious.
Low Fodmap Orange Quinoa Loaf
I love to have something sweet with my afternoon tea. I discovered this Low Fodmap Orange Quinoa Loaf a couple of months ago, and I liked it so much, that I made it many times ever since.
Kiwi Ginger Smoothie
Who doesn’t love a refreshing smoothie? I know I do and so do my children. This Kiwi Ginger Smoothie is both dairy-free and low FODMAP, so besides being yummy and healthy, it is also gentle on the tummy.
Japanese Pickled Ginger
If you follow my site, you will know I LOVE Japan. I love the country, its people, and obviously its food! I must admit that I have discovered Japanese food only in recent years, but it was love at first bite. I adore sushi and sashimi, and everything that comes with it – wasabi and…
Pumpkin Jam
Have you ever had Pumpkin Jam? I personally love it and I also love the fact that it is really easy to make. This version also has a hint of freshly grated ginger to it, and I think it works really well with the pumpkin flavour. You can use this jam to make tarts, pies,…
Lemongrass and Ginger Mojito
If you know me, you know I love rum based drinks. In fact, I always order those from the cocktail menu. Mojitos are my absolute favourites and I always try to add a twist to the classic recipe. Remember my Green Tea Mojito? Well, this time I am back with yet another version… the possibilities…
Watermelon and Strawberry Salad with Ginger and Lime Syrup
October is breast cancer awareness month and it provides an opportunity for us all to focus on breast cancer and its impact on those affected by the disease in our community. According to a research, breast cancer remains the most common cancer among Australian women… did you know that 42 women are diagnosed each day…
Momos in Ginger Broth
It is finally spring here in Australia, but we have had a relatively cold winter this year. As you know, I don’t mind cold weather and I know I will be missing it as soon as the temperatures start rising. It can get very hot down here. Before that happens, I will share one of…
Sticky Ginger Marmalade Tea Loaf
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
GINGER SESAME CHICKEN
I always have chicken tenders in my freezer… they are very versatile, quick to cook and they always please the whole family. I love the fact that they are always moist and not dry. I have never seen these in Italy, where you either buy breast or thighs (or the whole chicken). I stumbled upon…
KOTHEY MOMO
Today I want to share with you the recipe for Momo, the Himalayan Dumplings. I had them for the first time at a Nepalese Restaurant a little while ago and I simply loved them. There are many variations of momos and they can be filled with yak, mutton, chicken, pork, vegetables… The filling varies mainly…
HONEY AND GINGER PORK STIR FRY
Maybe not everyone knows this, but my eldest daughter has started her first year of “big school” in January. It is all very thrilling and exciting for all of us, though this has also brought a huge change in our routines. Let’s put it this way… I am now spending more time on the trains…
GINGERBREAD MEN
These are definitely not Italian traditional cookies, but I have always loved them and I have made them every Christmas since moving to Australia (my girls leave some on a plate for Santa to eat on Christmas Eve along with a glass of milk…). I guess you could say it’s an “acquired” tradition in our…
BANANA, PEAR AND GINGER SMOOTHIE – ANOTHER AWARD AND A PIECE OF NEWS
After a delicious but calorie laden sweet, I thought of posting a healthy but just as tasty treat. This simple and sugar free smoothie used to be my afternoon snack when I was child. Well, to be honest my mom would not put ginger in it (this is my own twist to the recipe) as…
