Fagioli all'uccelletto

FAGIOLI ALL’UCCELLETTO

Today’s Regional Italian dish is from Tuscany and more specifically from the beautiful city of Florence.  It is a very simple yet tasty recipe that can be served as a vegetarian/vegan main dish or, as it is common in Tuscany, as a side to barbecued Italian sausages.  Fagioli all’uccelletto is an ancient recipe made of…

Lasagne

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…

Saltimbocca alla romana

SALTIMBOCCA ALLA ROMANA

Today’s Regional Italian dish comes from Lazio, Rome’s region.  In fact, this dish is Roman… so much so, that it is called Saltimbocca alla romana (which literally means “jumps in the mouth Roman style”).  This is one of those dishes that you can easily find outside of Italy and that I have seen made in…

SPAGHETTI WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ANCHOVIES

Yes!  Finally I get to share with you a spaghetti recipe!  Strangely enough, I seldom do… I think it must be because for an Italian, spaghetti are a staple and I tend to forget how delicious they are.  This is a very simple yet delicious recipe for one of the tastiest spaghetti sauces ever.  Like…

Gnocco Fritto

GNOCCO FRITTO

Today’s Regional Italian dish comes from the region of Emilia Romagna, an area where you find some of the best Italian food.  Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, Culatello, Parmigiano Reggiano, Tortellini, just to name a few, all come from here.  It is “foodie heaven” and I cannot recommend it enough for a taste of amazing Italian…

PASTA CON I FEGATINI – PASTA WITH CHICKEN LIVER

As I already said in my Chicken Liver Parcels – Fegatini al cartoccio post, I never enjoyed eating liver while growing up, with the exception of chicken liver.  There are 2 dishes made with chicken liver that I have always LOVED: one is the Parcels and the second one is the dish I am going…

SCALOPPINE AL LIMONE – LEMON SCALOPPINE

My mom used to make this dish quite often and I have always liked it.  It is quick to make and it tastes delicious.  It is also somewhat refreshing thanks to the lemon sauce.  It is a classic of Italian cuisine and it is quite popular outside of Italy… so if you are interested in…

POLLO ALLA CACCIATORA

This week’s Regional Italian recipe is Pollo alla cacciatora, from the region of Tuscany or, as we say, Toscana.  Who does not know Tuscany??  It is probably one of the most beautiful regions of Italy and definitely one of the most visited.  And it is one of the regions with some of the best (and most…

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH GORGONZOLA

This is my favourite sauce for gnocchi. I love all gnocchi served with this sauce: potato, ricotta, flour gnocchi… they all taste fantastic with this sauce. Do you think it might have something to do with the fact that gorgonzola is actually my all time favourite cheese?! 😉 Well, anyhow it is also a very…

Beef Braised in Rooibos Tea with Sweet Potatoes

BEEF BRAISED IN ROOIBOS TEA WITH SWEET POTATOES

Sarah from Simply Cooked was our November Daring Cooks’ hostess and she challenged us to create something truly unique in both taste and technique! We learned how to cook using tea with recipes from Tea Cookbook by Tonia George and The New Tea Book by Sara Perry. I have always been more of a coffee…

Chicken liver parcels

CHICKEN LIVER PARCELS

While growing up I never enjoyed eating liver… with one exception: chicken liver.  I do not know why, but it may have been because they taste milder and are less bitter than other liver.  Anyhow, there are 2 dishes made with chicken liver that I have always LOVED and I am going to share one…

MAIALE AL LATTE – PURCIT TAL LAT

This week’s Regional Italian recipe takes us to Friuli – Venezia Giulia, Italy’s most North-Eastern region that borders with Austria and Slovenia.  This region has been a part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire for many years and thus has many cultural and culinary similarities with the other regions and Nations of the area.  It is a region that…

HAM AND CHEESE SOFFICINI

After moving to Australia I haven’t been able to eat many of the dishes I grew up with as they simply do not exist.  If you have ever moved internationally, you will know the feeling… At the beginning you do not miss the food you left behind as you are too busy discovering all the…

STRAWBERRY RISOTTO

As Divya from Flavour Fiesta reminded us with her beautiful guest post about Rosewater, Cardamom and Pistachio Cake, October has been Breast Cancer Awareness month.  So, I thought there couldn’t be a better way to conclude this month than by posting my Strawberry Risotto: pink risotto for the cause!  Strawberry risotto is a savoury dish. …

TAGLIATELLE ALLA BOLOGNESE

This is one of my grandmother Bice’s recipes: she used to make the best ever Bolognese sauce.  This is not the Bolognese you are used to.  It is a version that requires less tomatoes than what we would normally put in ragu’.  Ragu’ can be either made with mince (which is what is commonly known…

RISOTTO CON SCAMORZA AFFUMICATA – MY GUEST POST AT AN ITALIAN COOKING IN THE MIDWEST

Today I am a guest at my friend Pola’s beautiful site: An Italian Cooking in the Midwest.  I was so thrilled when she asked me to write a post for her!  Why?!  Well, because I love her site.  We have many things in common: we are both Italians living abroad and trying (hard) to maintain…

BEEF FILLET ROAST STUFFED WITH PURÉED CHESTNUTS

I have always loved meat (much more than any seafood) and beef above all.  And what’s better than beef fillet?  Nothing!  I have to say that Australian beef is among the best in the world, so I consider myself very lucky to able to enjoy it whenever I feel like it.  Back in Italy, beef…

BAKED SWORDFISH

This is one of the easiest recipes to make delicious and healthy fish.  It is also the way I prefer eating swordfish as it reminds me of my childhood.  My mom would always make it this way at home and when there was swordfish for lunch or dinner I would always be happy.  This is…

BEEF AND VEGETABLE PATTIES

Do you have fussy eaters at home?  I sure do… my preschooler just refuses to eat any vegetables at all.  So, like many moms out there with the same problem, I have to think of ways to make her eat her veggies.  I often “hide” them in foods that she enjoys eating and these patties…

Spaghetti with fish sauce

SPAGHETTI WITH FISH SAUCE

This is another one of my mother’s recipes.  It is very simple and very tasty.  I love the delicate fish taste that gets in the sauce… yum!  To make it, you need a very bony fish that is also very cartilaginous… any fish suitable to make soup is fine.  I usually make it with red…
