I must confess I had never had “flavoured” scones before. Whenever I have eaten scones, it’s always been the traditional British kind, filled with jam and cream. I LOVE those! A little while ago, we were invited to celebrate the first birthday of the son of some close friends of ours. He is the CUTEST!…
Peanut Butter Nutella Banana Bites
Today’s recipe is a really quick and simple snack idea. These Peanut Butter Nutella Banana Bites are perfect to satisfy any sweet cravings you or your kids may have, as it is relatively healthy. The base of the dish is fruits after all… 😉 You can dose the ingredients as per your taste, so I haven’t put…
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…
Baked Goats Cheese Rolls with Honey and Thyme #SundaySupper
Welcome to this week’s #SundaySupper event which is all about “mum”. Yes, we are celebrating our mothers and cooking up one of their favourite recipes in honour of the upcoming Mother’s Day!
Sweet Yogurt Burek
I discovered today’s recipe by chance. I had some filo pastry in my fridge that begged to be used before drying out and some yogurt that was close to its expiry date. So I was delighted to be able to put them together in this delicious Sweet Yogurt Burek. But what is Burek? It is…
Baked Nutella Iris
Today I will take you all to Sicily, once again! Sicilian street food is among the best food in the whole world. Besides, you can find everything: desserts, snacks, savoury treats and even pasta in street food form! I am not joking, it is that awesome. I would actually go as far as to say…
Walnut Roquefort Sables
If you follow Manu’s Menu, you will know how much I love blue cheese. It is my absolute favourite cheese! I love how pungent it is and I use it a lot in my cooking. I made these Walnut Roquefort Sables for Christmas and even my husband, who on the contrary is not a fan…
Fiordilatte Gelato #SundaySupper
Welcome to this week’s #SundaySupper event! This Sunday the #SundaySupper team has organised an Italian Fest! Being Italian, when the Italian theme was announced, I knew I had to host it. This is the first #SundaySupper event I host and I am really excited, especially since it will be showcasing some amazing Italian food! I am very excited about today’s recipe…
Aloo Tikki Chaat
I am really happy to share today’s recipe on the blog as it is one of my all time favourite Indian dishes: Aloo Tikki Chaat. But what is it exactly? Chaat is a term that describes savory snacks, typically served on the road from stalls or food carts… street food basically. And you know how…
Aloo Tikki
Today’s recipe is a delicious Indian appetiser. Well, it’s more like a snack really, but it is also served as an appetiser at restaurants. I personally love Aloo Tikki and I often make them at home. You could say that they are the Indian version of potato croquettes and they are packed with flavour thanks…
Marzipan Lambs
Today’s recipe is a classic Sicilian sweet that is made and eaten to celebrate Easter. In Italian these delicious treats are called Pecorelle di Pasqua or Agnelli Pasquali which literally mean Easter Lambs. As they are made out of marzipan, I thought that Marzipan Lambs would be a better translation… at the end of the…
Blue Cheese, Pear and Walnut Triangles
If you know me, you will know how much I love blue cheese. It is my absolute favourite cheese. I like all kinds but the ones I prefer are Gorgonzola and Roquefort, so I often have some in my fridge. As I had some filo pastry remaining from making Burek, I thought of using it…
Honeycomb
Tomorrow we celebrate Australia Day, the official National Day of Australia. The 26th of January, in fact, marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales. Nowadays, the celebrations reflect our diverse society and are marked by community and family events. It is a…
Onion Schiacciata
Hosting a lunch or dinner? This Onion Schiacciata is always well-loved. It has a homemade look, tastes incredible, and goes perfectly with almost any main dish. Today’s recipe comes from Tuscany and Umbria in central Italy. Schiacciata is very similar to focaccia, but much easier to make than the traditional focaccia from Genoa. The name…
Peanut Butter Honey Fudge
There is no Christmas without fudge. I have already shared with you a few of my favourite fudge recipes: Chocolate Fudge, Salted Nutella Chocolate Fudge, Brigadeiros, Cookies and Cream Fudge and Matcha Nama Chocolates. So, today I thought of adding a new flavour to the list: Peanut Butter Honey Fudge. It is very smooth and perfect…
Chai Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread cookies have always been my favourites. I love the fact that they are buttery and not overly sweet and I also like experimenting with different shapes and flavours. This time I gave my shortbread an Indian twist. We love Chai at our place and we always have some during the colder months of the…
Banana Milk
Today’s post is a special one. The recipe itself is so easy that I am not even sure it could be passed on as a “recipe” per se, but it is my eldest daughter favourite treat and she insisted I “put it on the blog”… so here it is. When I was a child, my…
Apple Roses
I love apple desserts, don’t you? When I was a child, my favourite cake was this Apple Tart and it is still one of my favourites. Today’s recipe is quite common in Italy and there are a few variations to it. Some people cook the apples, others use them raw, some people sprinkle cinnamon on…
Onion Pakoras
Vimala was our host for the November Daring Cooks challenge and she invited us to try our hands at some Indian snacks and treats. What amazing timing… as Indians have just celebrated Diwali – the festival of lights. I am very happy to share with all of you the recipe for one of my favourite Indian…
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…
Grissini Torinesi
Grissini, aka breadsticks, are a weakness of mine. They originate from the Italian city of Turin, in Piedmont and they have been around for centuries! I love how crunchy they are and I often serve them wrapped in prosciutto as an appetiser or aperitivo. I even like to dip them in Nutella, when I am…
Nutella Palmiers
I made these Nutella Palmiers for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. As you know, I always have puff pastry for birthday parties and being Italian, Nutella cannot be skipped either! So, I decided to combine the 2 traditions and I made these deliciously crunchy treats. I added some toasted hazelnuts to them, to enhance both…
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
Pesto Pinwheels
For parties, I always serve something made with puff pastry. It is somewhat due to my Italian heritage… I can’t remember a birthday party without puff pastry treats. We have them with anchovies, sausages, or all kinds of vegetables and even pizza ones. You name it. I love to make both sweet and savoury treats….
Earl Grey and Chocolate Shortbread Teabag Cookies
I made these cookies for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. The theme was “high tea”, so these teabag cookies were perfect for it. I had seen them on the web before and I was just waiting for the right occasion to try and make them myself. I have used my shortbread recipe and added some…
Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches
I made these Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. When I was a child, I would spend part of my summer holidays at my nonni’s house in Palermo. Not far from where they used to live, there was a place called I Cuochini (aka the little cooks) where my mum…
Pumpkin Pie White Hot Chocolate
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
