Low Fodmap Tuna Salad Sandwich

Low Fodmap Tuna Salad Sandwich

I simply love this Low Fodmap Tuna Salad Sandwich, so much so that it has become my go-to sandwich.

Low Fodmap Pork Gyros

Low Fodmap Pork Gyros

After showing you how to make Low Fodmap Pita Pockets, I am back with the perfect filling: Low Fodmap Pork Gyros everyone!

Smoked Salmon Bagel

Smoked Salmon Bagel

I had my first Smoked Salmon Bagel when, at the age of 17, I visited New York. It was my first time in the USA and I spent 3 weeks in NYC as part of a school exchange program. I have always loved smoked salmon, but I had never had it with cream cheese before….

Lemon Chicken Wrap with Aioli

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…

Mint Chicken Pita Pockets

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…

Tuna Dill Salad Pita Pockets

Tuna Dill Salad Pita Pockets

Due to my gallbladder issues, I have been on a low fat (almost fat-free) diet for over 2 months. Finding appetising recipes that have no more than 2 grams (0.07 oz!!) of fat per serving was not easy, but these Tuna Dill Salad Pita Pockets fit the bill if made with fat-free or very low…

Monica Sandwich

Monica Sandwich

Today’s recipe makes me a little emotional, as it brings back lots of memories from my teen age years. We used to have a cafe in our high school from where we could purchase food and drinks and one of my favourite sandwiches was called “Monica”… I think it was named after the girl who…

Tonkatsu Sandwich

Tonkatsu Sandwich

I first had Tonkatsu Sandwiches when we bought them in Shin-Osaka on our way to Hiroshima/Miyajima and it was love at first bite. The bread was so soft and the meat was crunchy, yet tender and juicy: it was perfection in a sandwich. I also really liked the sauce in it, but my daughters were…

Piadina Romagnola with Mortadella and Stracchino

Piadina Romagnola with Mortadella and Stracchino and a Barilla Cooking Class

Over the weekend, I was invited by Barilla Australia to one of their Hands-on Cooking Classes at Casa Barilla, here in Sydney.  The class was about food from Emilia Romagna, home of many iconic Italian products like Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Balsamic Vinegar and Mortadella, to cite just a few.  It is a true…

Cucumber Sandwiches

Cucumber Sandwiches

The first time I had Cucumber Sandwiches, they were served as part of a high tea I attended with friends.  To me, the idea of having savoury treats along with tea sounded quite weird.  You see, Italians only have sweets with tea (mainly cookies or pastries), so the thought of eating a cucumber sandwich (of…

Panino con la Salamella

Panino con la Salamella #SundaySupper

Today the Sunday Supper group is inviting everyone to a big Virtual Picnic!  It is summer in the Northern hemisphere and a picnic is in order.  Even for us down here, stuck in the coldest months of the year, picnic food is fun and always great to pin and bookmark.  I love “dreaming” of summer time and…

Fairy Bread

FAIRY BREAD

The first time I ever heard about “fairy bread” I was at a play-date with 2 other mums.  When they explained to me what it was I found it hard to believe that someone could really go crazy for something like “that”.  But let me tell you that I completely changed my mind the first…

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 Vegemite and Cheese Sandwiches

MINI VEGEMITE AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Vegemite is probably the most iconic Australian product.  Wiki describes it as “a dark brown Australian food paste made from yeast extract.  […]  Vegemite is made from used brewers’ yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, various vegetables, wheat and spice additives. It is salty, slightly bitter, and umami or malty – similar to beef bouillon.” …

Gnocco Fritto

GNOCCO FRITTO

Today’s Regional Italian dish comes from the region of Emilia Romagna, an area where you find some of the best Italian food.  Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, Culatello, Parmigiano Reggiano, Tortellini, just to name a few, all come from here.  It is “foodie heaven” and I cannot recommend it enough for a taste of amazing Italian…

CHICKEN SHAWARMA – COOK AROUND THE GLOBE

I often associate memories with food (or food with memories?) and eating kebab always reminds me of Paris.  Strange, eh? Well, not so much.  As I have already mentioned in my post on Fried Rice, foreign food restaurants and eateries were not so common while I was growing up in Italy.  And that too in…

TARATOR SAUCE

Do you know that sauce that looks like hummus whenever you order a kebab at your favourite kiosk?  Well, that’s tahini sauce… or tarator sauce.  I love its intense and tangy flavour and I always order it with my kebab!  I also found out it is pretty easy to make at home and it has…
