PASTA WITH SICILIAN STUFFED ARTICHOKES

Today I am sharing a pasta recipe – Pasta with Sicilian Stuffed Artichokes – in a guest post at Chef Dennis’ blog, A Culinary Journey.  I think pretty much all food bloggers know Chef Dennis.  He is a very talented chef, but above all he is a very kind person and someone who is always ready…

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…

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!…

Masala dosa

MASALA DOSA

The first time I ate a masala dosa I was still quite new to Indian food.  I think it was the second Indian dish I had ever had (the first being tandoori chicken) and I loved it so much that it quickly became one of my favourite take-away dishes.  More than 10 years have passed…

Dosa and Coconut Chutney

DOSA AND COCONUT CHUTNEY

Over the next couple of days I am going to share with you some South Indian recipes.  Today I will show you how to make a “basic” dosa from scratch.  Dosas are very thin and crispy crêpes, made from a fermented batter of blended lentils and rice.  They are delicious and I can never get…

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…

Seekh Kebab

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…

Asparagus Risotto with Raspadüra

ASPARAGUS RISOTTO WITH RASPADÜRA

Today I want to share with you the recipe for a risotto I made a little while ago.  I think it it the perfect spring dish.  I know that many of my readers are in the northern hemisphere (and I still have trouble adjusting to the fact that May is autumn down here!), so I…

Beef Bourguignon

BOEUF BOURGUIGNON

Our May 2012 Daring Cooks’ hostess was Fabi of fabsfood. Fabi challenged us to make Boeuf Bourguignon, a classic French stew originating from the Burgundy region of France. The last time I have eaten bœuf bourguignon I was in Paris… 10 years ago.  I remember it so well, it feels like yesterday.  My husband and…

Seared Kangaroo with Raspberry Glaze

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…

Aussie Burger with the lot

AUSSIE BURGER WITH “THE LOT”

Today I am going to share with you the recipe of what is known as “Aussie burger with the lot”.  The reason for the name is evident: this isn’t your everyday cheese burger… it is made up of A LOT of goodies!  And it is irresistible!  What’s not to love about a sandwich filled with…

Mini Meat Pies

MINI MEAT PIES

You cannot get more Aussie than this: meat pie is an iconic Australian dish and it had to be a part of my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” 24×24 event.  You can get it almost anywhere and there are also shops that only sell these.  They can be made with different fillings (chicken and…

Curried Carrot and Coconut Soup

CURRIED CARROT AND COCONUT SOUP

Today I want to share with you the recipe for a delicious, easy yet elegant soup.  The other day I found myself with some left-over coconut cream.  My first thought was: I am going to make coconut ice cream with it.  Then I thought again… and even though I love coconut ice cream, I felt…

PORK FILLET WITH A HONEY & MUSTARD GLAZE AND FRIED ARTICHOKES

This is one of those recipes that I have been making for such a long time that I do not even remember where I got it from!  It is very simple, yet delicious.  The pork is tender, juicy, sweet and tangy.  I love to serve it with fried artichokes, the way my mum makes them. …

Satay Chicken and Peanut Sauce

SATAY CHICKEN AND PEANUT SAUCE

I love satay, especially chicken satay.  I always order it whenever we eat out and I see it on the menu.  I really enjoy the peanut sauce.  So, I thought of giving it a try at home.  I looked around and found a few recipes, until I settled for Rasa Malaysia’s version.  It was outstanding. …
