Home-made Yogurt

HOME-MADE YOGURT

A couple of months ago, my friend Sawsan from Chef in Disguise posted a beautiful tutorial on how to make home-made yogurt.  Since I saw it, I knew I had to give it a try too!  This was my first time at making yogurt, but I remember my mum making it often when I was…

Sea Marshmallow Pops

SEA MARSHMALLOW POPS

Organising a little girl’s birthday party can be lots of fun… but it also requires a bit of research.  Especially when the little one has a clear idea of what she wants (and she’s only 5!).  The theme HAD to be The Little Mermaid.  So I started looking around the web for ideas (thank you…

The Little Mermaid Fondant Cake

THE LITTLE MERMAID FONDANT CAKE

As I am sure you have noticed, my eldest daughter loves The Little Mermaid so she requested an “Ariel cake” for her 5th birthday party.  I must admit, I was a bit worried about it as making a human form out of fondant is not as easy as making an animal… in fact, it could…

VICTORIA’S 5TH BIRTHDAY

On the 16th my eldest daughter turned 5 and I have been quite busy organising her birthday parties.  She celebrated in school with her friends on the 16th itself and I made her a Little Mermaid Yogurt Cake to take along and some Flounder Shortbread Cookie Pops to give as party favors.  When she came…

Flounder Shortbread Cookie Pops

FLOUNDER SHORTBREAD COOKIE POPS

As I have written in my previous post, yesterday was my eldest daughter’s 5th birthday.  She had a small celebration with her friends at school and I made her a Little Mermaid yogurt cake to take with her.  You may remember that last year I had made Hello Kitty cake pops to give to her…

THE LITTLE MERMAID YOGURT CAKE

Today is my eldest daughter’s 5th birthday.  I cannot believe it’s already been 5 years since I first held her in my arms… she was so small!  And now she’s growing to be a beautiful and sweet girl.  I will be very busy in the next few days as we will be celebrating her birthday…

Fairy Bread

FAIRY BREAD

The first time I ever heard about “fairy bread” I was at a play-date with 2 other mums.  When they explained to me what it was I found it hard to believe that someone could really go crazy for something like “that”.  But let me tell you that I completely changed my mind the first…

Mini Vegemite and Cheese Sandwiches

MINI VEGEMITE AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Vegemite is probably the most iconic Australian product.  Wiki describes it as “a dark brown Australian food paste made from yeast extract.  […]  Vegemite is made from used brewers’ yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, various vegetables, wheat and spice additives. It is salty, slightly bitter, and umami or malty – similar to beef bouillon.” …

Savoury Zucchini Muffins

SAVOURY ZUCCHINI MUFFINS

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…

Tortelli di Carnevale

TORTELLI DI CARNEVALE

This is a very special time of the year for all Italian children: it is “Carnevale”, the time to wear costumes and parade in the streets playing tricks on other kids and throwing coriandoli (round shaped paper confettis) and stelle filanti (similar to paper streamers) everywhere.  It is like Halloween but it lasts longer (about…

GEORGIA’S 2ND BIRTHDAY

As some of you already know, these last few days have been quite hectic for me as I have been organising my youngest daughter’s birthday.  Georgia turned 2 today (on December 1st) and we had a nice, quite family day as we had a little birthday party for her last Sunday with some of our…

HALLOWEEN TREATS

I must admit I have never celebrated Halloween before moving to Australia.  When I was a child, we did not have Halloween in Italy.  We used to celebrate the 2nd of November which is “All Souls Day” (or “il giorno dei morti” as we call it).  That’s the day we remember our loved ones who…
