Today I will share with you the recipe for my go-to potato salad: Low Fodmap Eggless Japanese Potato Salad.

Beef Carpaccio alla Cipriani

Mint Chicken Pita Pockets
These Mint Chicken Pita Pockets are another low-fat lunch idea I developed when I was having gallstone issues. I made it with fat-free mayo, but you can use your favourite brand/type. I used my recipe for Poached Chicken in a Mint Sauce to fill these pita pockets and I also added some lettuce and tomatoes…
Chicken Tonnato Wrap
If you follow my blog, you will know that I have recently been operated to remove my gallbladder, as I had gallstones.

Soft wrap with savoury ham, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomato, this Ham Wrap with Lettuce and Tomato comes together in minutes for a fresh, easy lunch.
Home-made Ranch Dressing
I must confess that I had never heard of Ranch Dressing before I started blogging. It’s definitely not an Italian thing. We use more vinaigrette based condiments for our salads and vegetables, so I never really knew it. After trying it though, I must say that I fell in love with it. I am a…
Asian Chicken Sliders with Sriracha Mayo
This weekend is all about Super Bowl food, so if you are like me and LOVE the kind of food that is served for such sporting events, you are in for a big treat! As you know, I don’t follow football and not living in the USA, also means no Super Bowl… but Italians are…
Smorrebrod
Crisp, hearty Smorrebrod layered with rye bread, butter, and fresh toppings brings Scandinavian flavour to the table, perfect for relaxed lunches or light dinners shared with family and friends.

CHICKEN SALAD
I must admit that I had my very first chicken salad when I visited the USA in 1997. Yes… quite late in life (well, I am not THAT old, but the point is, it is not a dish I grew up eating!). I am not sure why, but it is not something my family would…
VITEL TONNÉ – VITELLO TONNATO
If you follow me regularly, you will probably know that I started writing this blog with the intention of keeping my Italian culinary traditions alive while living abroad. I LOVE Italian cuisine and even though I cook (and blog about) all kinds of food, my to go to food is always Italian. Living abroad, I…
