Prosciutto Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Meatloaf

Prosciutto Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Meatloaf

As you know, after my gallbladder removal, I have started to gradually re-introduce fats into my diet. I love meatloaf (my mum makes a mean one – click here for the recipe), but I still find beef mince a bit too heavy to digest. So, I have decided to try a chicken meatloaf. That’s how…

Curried Chicken Salad

Curried Chicken Salad

I love chicken salads, don’t you? I love to eat them plain, but I like to have chicken salad sandwiches even more! This Curried Chicken Salad steps it up a notch from your usual chicken salad, both in flavour and in texture. I love the crunch added by the apples, celery and almonds and the…

Chicken Involtini with Fontina, Speck and Peas

Chicken Involtini with Fontina, Speck and Peas

I love chicken involtini. Well, to be honest I love all involtini, especially when they are filled with cheese! I am always looking for different stuffing. In this case, I filled the rolls with Fontina cheese and smokey Italian Speck. I then cooked them with peas and a little bit of cream – mainly to…

Chicken with Black Olive Tapenade

Chicken with Black Olive Tapenade

I often cook chicken at home as it is my kids’ favourite kind of meat, so I know they will eat it without making a fuss. Today’s recipe is Chicken with Black Olive Tapenade and it is a variation of a Rabbit recipe I published a long time ago. In this case, I use chicken…

Pasta with Meatballs

Pasta with Meatballs

Today’s post is really important for me. As you know, I am all for real Italian food. That’s the very reason why I started this blog. I have always stated that Spaghetti with Meatballs is not a classic Italian dish. And I completely stand by it. That said, my mother used to make meatballs in…

Chicken Scaloppine with Gorgonzola

Chicken Scaloppine with Gorgonzola

Today’s recipe is a classic of Italian cuisine and one of my all time favourite dishes: Chicken Scaloppine with Gorgonzola. I absolutely adore Gorgonzola, so I love anything made with it! What are scaloppine (please not the spelling as I have seen it spelt in all sorts of ways on the Internet!)? They are thin…

Home-made Spanish Chorizo

Home-made Spanish Chorizo

Here goes my third, and last, Spanish recipe in a row. And what better than home-made Spanish chorizo?? You already know I LOVE to make things from scratch and sausages always come out great! To tell you the truth, I had never thought to make Chorizo at home… I was somehow “obliged to”, as the…

Easy Chicken Tacos

Easy Chicken Tacos

My family’s favourite Sunday roast is my Roast Brined Chicken. It is very moist and because we all like it so much, I usually buy a big chicken so that we get leftovers for the following day. I usually make a classic Chicken Salad with the leftover chicken, but this time I thought of trying something…

Bosnian Burek

Bosnian Burek

I grew up in Europe during the 90’s and the war in the former Yugoslavia was very close for us living in Italy. I had visited Croatia as a child, and looking at the terrible images coming from across the border would make me shiver. A few months ago, a friend of mine visited Bosnia…

Cajun Burgers

Cajun Burgers

With both the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras around the corner, how about putting some cajun spice into your life? As you know, I love to come up with different combinations of flavours for burgers and this recipe is an absolute keeper. Remember I shared my home-made recipe for Cajun Seasoning in my last post?…

Sticky Chinese 5 Spice Wings

Sticky Chinese 5 Spice Wings

You can never have enough chicken wings recipes! That’s one of my favourite mottos.  They are great for entertaining and for footy night and I am yet to meet someone who doesn’t like them. Today’s recipe is delicious: sticky, sweet, spicy, tangy and hearty thanks to the Chinese 5 Spice Mix. These wings are baked…

Parma Burger

Parma Burger

My kids love burgers, so in an attempt to keep their meals as healthy as possible, I usually make them at home. I always make my own beef patties as I like to play around with flavours and these Parma Burgers were an instant hit. These burgers have an Italian twist. The patties are made…

Troccoli with Nonna’s Pork Ragu

Troccoli with Nonna’s Pork Ragu

Today’s recipe is very dear to me. It was my grandmother Maria’s speciality and, as I have recently shared my guide on Palermo, I thought it would be the right time for me to share this recipe, that has been sitting in my archives for a little while now. I learnt how to make this…

Chicken 65

Chicken 65

I love Indian food and I try to cook it as much as possible at home. I also love to eat out though and we recently tried out a new place, not too far from home. They had a dish on their menu that caught my attention: Chicken 65. The name was too intriguing, so…

Vietnamese Pork Chops

Vietnamese Pork Chops

Every September in Australia, the Prostate Cancer Foundation organises the Big Aussie Barbecue to raise awareness on prostate cancer.  Not many of you know this, but my dad is battling this illness back in Italy and I thought I should do something too. So, I decided to organise an “online” event and I asked some of my…

Chicken Karaage

Chicken Karaage

Chicken Karaage is a classic Japanese fried chicken dish. It’s so popular in Japan that you can find it in all izakaya, depachika, supermarkets and street food stalls. In fact, we had quite a bit of Karaage during our Japanese holiday. One of my most vivid memories of our trip is eating Karaage under the…

Beef Korokke

Beef Korokke

During our recent Japanese holiday, we had a lot of amazing food. In fact, Japanese cuisine is so much more than just (fantastic) sushi and sashimi! My youngest daughter especially liked korokke (コロッケ), aka potato croquettes coated in panko and then deep fried. Need I say more? Maybe I should also specify that there are…

Moroccan Beef Kefta Briouat #SundaySupper

This week the #Sunday Supper team is celebrating the Oscars!  We will be showcasing all sorts of “Red carpet” food!  Don’t you love the theme? When I saw the theme, I thought of making something special and a bit unusual, at least for me.  I wanted something that you could eat with your hands, maybe…

Asian Chicken Sliders with Sriracha Mayo

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…

Chorizo en Salsa

Chorizo en Salsa

If you follow me on Facebook, you will know that this year we hosted a little New Year’s Eve party at our place.  We had a Spanish theme.  We started off with some Pineapple Mojitos and then we had Sangria and a few tapas: Stuffed Mushrooms, Smoked Salmon, Chorizo en Salsa, Manchego, Jamon Serrano, salami…
