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…

ZUCCHINI FLOWER AND SAFFRON RISOTTO IN A PARMIGIANO REGGIANO BASKET
When Divya from Flavour Fiesta asked me to write a recipe for her beautiful magazine I was really excited! I have always liked her website and I simply love her magazine: content, style, photos… everything! You MUST check it out, trust me!!! When she said the theme would be spring I was intrigued and I…
SUPPLÌ AL TELEFONO
Today’s recipe takes us to the Italian region of Lazio. Lazio is a coastal region in Central Italy and it includes Rome, the capital of Italy. Many of the most popular Italian dishes come from this area. They include carbonara, amatriciana, abbacchio, carciofi alla giudia and many more. So stay tuned for more recipes from…
BEEF RENDANG
When I saw this recipe at Not Quite Nigella’s website I knew I HAD to make it. It looked too good not to try it! So I made it and then I made it again, and again and… you got it… again! It is now officially a recurrent dish in my house and one of…
FRIED RICE – RISO ALLA CANTONESE
I must admit I have discovered Chinese cuisine only recently. Growing up in Italy when I did, you would not come across too many “foreign” food restaurants. And… I am not old: I am “only” 33! Ethnic restaurants (as we call them in Italy) are becoming more and more popular nowadays, so I would say…
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…

KASHMIRI PULAO
When we first moved to Sydney we did not know any good places to dine out in the city, so we asked around and received a few great suggestions. One of these quickly became one of our favourite restaurants: Abhi’s Indian Restaurant. The food is fantastic and some of their dishes are just plain delicious. …
SPINACH RISOTTO – RISOTTO AGLI SPINACI
I love all risotti. This one used to be one of my favourite as a child. I liked its colour so much! Yet, I hated spinach… this was the only spinach dish I would eat. So it is a great way to make fussy kids eat their veggies. It works well with my 3 year…
SAFFRON RISOTTO – RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE
As I said in my post A special birthday with… an award, Risotto alla milanese is the first dish I have ever cooked all by myself. I remember watching my mother continuously stirring the rice in the pot as a small child and waiting impatiently for it to be ready. It surely was my favourite…
ARANCINE – AL RAGU E AL BURRO
This is my family recipe for arancine, a very popular street food dish from Sicily. They are fried balls of saffron rice stuffed with either a meat sauce or a cheese sauce. The cheese version is called “al burro” that literally means “with butter”, but they are actually filled with béchamel sauce, cheese, ham and peas, while the…
