Eggplant Caviar

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…

Home-made Mustard

Home-made Mustard

For the month of December Jenni from The Gingered Whisk challenged us to make our own condiments. Ketchup, Mayo, hot sauce… nothing is too challenging for the daring cooks. Ah condiments! Growing up in Italy, I never really used/ate any of them, apart from Mayo and Ketchup. They are not really part of Italian cuisine, but…

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…

Pappardelle alla Contadina

Pappardelle alla Contadina

A few weeks ago, I reviewed the Toollio, an amazing multi-function food processor that really makes your life easier in the kitchen.  I am very happy with it and, as promised, I am doing a little series on recipes developed using the Toollio to showcase its versatility.  After making some hearty meatballs and a luscious cheesecake, today…

Pomegranate Chicken Wings

Pomegranate Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are among my favourite appetisers or party food.  They can be made in so many different ways and they always taste delicious.  I love mine baked, but because I coat them in a little bit of flour and bake them for a long time, the skin becomes as crunchy as if they were fried, sans…

This month, the Daring Cooks got a little saucy!

I was really thrilled by this challenge!  I make some sauces…

Fish fillet with Tahitian Vanilla Sauce

Fish Fillet with Tahitian Vanilla Sauce

Today’s recipe may sound highly unusual, but it really isn’t.  When we visited Tahiti a few months ago, “fish with vanilla sauce” was on every restaurant’s menu and once we tried it, it wasn’t hard to understand why.  It is an amazing combination and one of the tastiest ways to eat fish.  Obviously, people in Tahiti…

Fresh Tuna Ragu

FRESH TUNA RAGU

This is a recipe that I learnt from my dad.  He loves tuna (and so do I), so whenever we saw tuna at the markets, we would buy some and make a ragù with it.  Ragù is a generic term that Italians use for tomato based sauces predominantely made with meat, but not only.  The…

WHITE CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA SHOOTERS WITH RASPBERRY COULIS

If you are not new on this site, you will know that I love all desserts that you can eat with a spoon: mousses, creams, trifles… and panna cotta!  I also like individual servings and I have been making these panna cotta shooters for a while now.  I often take them to friends’ houses for…

CAVATELLI CON RAGÙ DI MAIALE

Today’s Regional Italian dish comes from the small region of Molise, in the South of Italy (though, to be precise, the same dish with small variations is widespread in many other Southern regions, like Puglia or Campania or Basilicata).  Molise is a small but beautiful region, famous for its pasta and extra virgin olive oil. …

Pear Ice Cream in Pear Wafer Basket with Salted Caramel Sauce

PEAR ICE CREAM IN PEAR WAFER BASKETS WITH SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE

Pear is one of my favourite fruits.  I love the fact that it comes in many different varieties and that every season has its own special pear.  I love that they are naturally sweet and refreshing.  Even though I like them so much, I had never made ice cream with them.  The other day I…
