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…
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…
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
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
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
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
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!…
LABNEH
If you follow this blog, you know that cheese is my weakness. I can do without dessert, but if I see cheese… well, I have to have some! After making home made yogurt, I had to try my hands at making home made labneh. I had seen a picture of it on my friend Sawsan’s…
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 – 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
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…
CANNELLONI WITH RICOTTA, HAM AND FONTINA
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…
CANNELLONI DI MAGRO
If you have read yesterday’s post, you will know that I am hosting this month’s challenge at the Daring Cooks! I chose to challenge my fellow daring cooks to make Italian Cannelloni from scratch, including fresh pasta and sauces! I also shared 4 different recipes with them and I am also going to share them…
PAPRI CHAAT
So, here you have it! Today I am sharing with you the recipe of our favourite Indian chaat: papri chaat. As I wrote in my post on Sev, chaats are snacks served with chutneys (typically Hari chutney and Tamarind chutney) and spices. It is a very common street food that is sold from carts all…
GNOCCHI ALLA SORRENTINA
This week’s Regional Italian dish comes from Campania and more precisely from Sorrento. I am sure that all of you have heard of this beautiful coastal village, which is renowned for its world famous lemons (from which the best limoncello is made). I would love to share with you the recipe for limoncello, but as…
MUSHROOM AND ASIAGO CALZONI
The other day I had some Asiago cheese left in the fridge and while trying to figure out what to do with it, I stumbled upon this recipe. I also happened to have all the other ingredients, so I thought of trying it out for dinner. It was really tasty! I loved the contrasting flavours…
SEEKH KEBAB
Today I want to share with you the recipe for one of my favourite Indian/Pakistani dishes: seekh kebab. Whenever we eat out, we never fail to order some as an appetiser. They are made of minced lamb with spices and are cooked on skewers, traditionally in a tandoor oven. They are usually served with hari…
BAKED LASAGNE
Today I want to share with you the recipe for one of the most iconic Italian dishes ever: lasagne. It is a dish for special occasions or Sunday lunches spent with family and friends… so it is more time consuming than a mid-week dish. But I can guarantee you that you will not mind the…
PIZZAIOLA BEEF SCHNITZEL
Today I want to share with you a very easy recipe. It is a dish that my mum would make often when I was a child as it was quick and loved by everyone. It is called “pizzaiola” as it resembles pizza, thanks to the tomato and oregano sauce in which the beef is cooked. …
DAMPER
Here is what Wiki says about damper: “Damper is a traditional Australian soda bread prepared by swagmen, drovers, stockmen and other travelers. […] Damper is an iconic Australian dish. […] Damper was originally developed by stockmen who travelled in remote areas for weeks or months at a time, with only basic rations of flour, sugar and…
SEARED KANGAROO FILLET STEAKS WITH RASPBERRY GLAZE
I am sure the majority of you are wondering what kangaroo tastes like. Well, it is hard to describe its taste, but I would probably compare it to venison, though it is milder and not as gamey. I still remember the first time I ate it… I was in Uluru and kangaroo was one of…
