Low FODMAP Calamari Risotto
Soft, creamy rice with tender calamari and subtle tomato gives this Low FODMAP Calamari Risotto a smooth consistency that stays light and easy to eat.
Garlic Scallops
Buttery, garlicky, and perfectly golden, Garlic Scallops take only 15 minutes. A quick sear gives crisp edges and tender flesh, ideal for a light and satisfying meal. After sharing my Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil, I couldn’t resist making another scallop recipe. A couple of weeks ago, I received a surprise delivery from Ferguson…
Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil
Yep. You read that right! Scallops AND Lobster Oil! Intriguing, isn’t it? To tell you the truth, the Lobster Oil was a very pleasant discovery, as I was not familiar with it.
Eggplant Rice
Soft eggplant melts into tomato-soaked rice for a warm, reliable bowl of Eggplant Rice that fits busy weeknights and keeps well for easy leftovers.
One Pot Lemon Chicken and Rice
Juicy chicken thighs, fluffy rice, and fresh lemon come together in Lemon Chicken and Rice, a one-pot meal with bright citrus flavours and golden chicken.
Italian Sausage with Bell Peppers and Potatoes
I LOVE sausage. As a child, it used to be my favourite dish ever. We would almost only have it in summer though, as we would find the best sausage in Sicily. We would barbecue it and enjoy it in the most simple way. It was so good that you didn’t really have to add…
Salt-Crusted Snapper
I am very excited about today’s recipe! Salt-Crusted Snapper is one of my mum’s signature dishes. In fact, she made it for us just a few days ago and I managed to get her recipe for it to share with all of you here on the blog! Aren’t you lucky? If you like fish, this…
Lemon Chicken Wrap with Aioli
Today I am going to share the recipe for a delicious sandwich: Lemon Chicken Wrap with Aioli. This recipe is an ode to the Mediterranean: the chicken marinade’s flavours are of clear Greek-Turk inspiration, while the Aioli component brings in the south of France and Spain and the arugula (also known as rocket) and tomatoes…
Sicilian Eggplant Bake
Layers of roasted eggplant, sweet tomatoes, and gooey cheese make this Sicilian Eggplant Bake taste like home-cooked perfection.
Turkey Eggplant Caviar Lettuce Wrap
If you follow my blog, you will know that I have recently been operated to remove my gallbladder, as I had gallstones. In the weeks leading to the surgery, I had to follow a strictly low-fat diet. As such, I had to come up with alternatives for my meals that included no more than 2…
Eggplant Caviar
Eggplant is one of my favourite ingredients when it comes to make anything with vegetables. It is a very common ingredient in Italian cooking, especially in the south where it is present at almost every meals during the summer months, when eggplant is at its best. Today I will share with you a recipe for…
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…
Black Olive Tapenade
Black Olive Tapenade is a Provençal dish consisting of puréed olives, herbs and olive oil. It is a popular condiment in the south of France, where it is generally eaten as an appetiser, spread on bread. Maybe not everyone knows though, that olive based tapenades are very common in Italian cuisine and trace back to…
Coca de Espinacas a la Catalana
Thin, crisp Coca de Espinacas a la Catalana with spinach and raisins, savoury and golden, perfect for brunch, slicing and sharing.
Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Salad
I often have salad for lunch and I like to jazz it up with different ingredients and flavours so as not to get too bored. Today I would like to share with you the recipe for a very satisfying salad made with grilled chicken. This is no ordinary grilled chicken though, it is marinated in…
Warm Maftoul Salad with Roasted Vegetables
I love salads, but sometimes I feel like eating something warm instead. I had some pearl couscous (maftoul) in my pantry and when I looked through the vegetables that I had in my fridge I thought it may be a good idea to make a warm Maftoul salad with all of that. I must admit…
Marinated Feta
As you know, it would be easier for me to give up sweets (including chocolate!) than cheese! I am an absolute cheeseaholic… And I like all of them. Obviously, I do have my preferences and you also know that Gorgonzola is my all time favourite cheese. I like strong flavoured cheeses in general and feta…
Tomato and Halloumi Salad
Golden pan-fried halloumi and juicy tomatoes come together in Tomato and Halloumi Salad. A quick toss with vinaigrette keeps it light and easy to serve.
Swordfish Impanata
Today’s dish is another one of my Sicilian recipes: Swordfish Impanata. Impanata is Italian for empanada and they are basically the same thing: pastry with a filling. Unlike the South American empanadas, this Sicilian version is made like a pie and portioned only after cooking. You shouldn’t be surprised to find such a dish in…
Cherry Tomato and Halloumi Bites
Crisp Cherry Tomato and Halloumi Bites with a gentle lemon aroma make outdoor meals feel easy and bright, ready in minutes for casual barbecues.
