Low Fodmap Samosas

Low Fodmap Samosas

I am so happy to be able to share with you the recipe for these Low Fodmap Samosas.

Low Fodmap Orange Cakes

Low Fodmap Orange Cakes

When it’s tea time, I often feel the need for a quick snack, better if of the sweet kind. Following the Low Fodmap diet can make things hard, especially since I am having trouble with fructose.

Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles

Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles

After making my Chocolate Hazelnut Milk, I had some hazelnut pulp left and you know I love to re-use leftovers, don’t you? I dug and dug and I found a great recipe for it: Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles.

Rava Ladoo

Rava Ladoo

Happy Diwali! Sunday will mark the beginning of Diwali (दिवाली), the “festival of lights”, a 5-day Indian festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. Light is the symbol of the celebrations and many clay lamps filled with oil are lit during the 5 days of the festival. As part…

Parma Burger

Parma Burger

My kids love burgers, so in an attempt to keep their meals as healthy as possible, I usually make them at home. I always make my own beef patties as I like to play around with flavours and these Parma Burgers were an instant hit. These burgers have an Italian twist. The patties are made…

Super Bowl Roundup

Super Bowl Roundup

Today’s post is not about 1 recipe. As Super Bowl is approaching, I thought to make a list of the best party food MsM has to offer.   Being Italian, I do not follow football… but I enjoy some good soccer.  And a good spread during a game!  In this post I am going to give…

Troll Cookies

Troll Cookies

Today’s post is about turning a failure into a success story. I had seen some beautiful cookies on Pinterest that looked just like snowballs.  They were covered in icing sugar, which gave the illusion of fresh snow.  So, I had no doubt that I wanted to make them for my daughter’s Frozen party and they…

Sweet Popcorn Snowballs

Sweet Popcorn Snowballs

I made these Sweet Popcorn Snowballs as part of the menu for my daughter’s 7th birthday party.  As the theme was Frozen, I thought having edible snowballs would be a fun idea.  These are easy to make and look quite nice.  You can make them for a winter themed buffet or save the recipe for…

Murukku - Chakali

MURUKKU – CHAKALI

Today I will share with you the recipe for an Indian savoury snack that is always eaten for Diwali, but that we also like to eat during the rest of the year at tea time: murukku – முறுக்கு (also known as chakali or chakli).  Murukku is a Tamilian word that means “twisted” and even though these…

SUPER BOWL OR FOOTY NIGHT SUGGESTIONS

I must admit I am no football lover.  In fact, the only football I like is soccer… I am Italian after all.  After reading quite a bit about the upcoming Super Bowl though, I started thinking that the most fun part about the event would be watching it with friends and family while sharing some…

Crostini

CROSTINI

Picture this: slices of bread, covered with a thick meat sauce, topped with cheese, breaded and fried.  Imagine eating one of these treats… with the slightly melted cheese stretching out into the rich sauce and the crunchy slice of fried bread.  Is your mouth watering already?  These are crostini and I made them as a…

Cheese Twists and Pillows

CHEESE TWISTS AND PILLOWS

These are great both for parties and for appetizers.  I made these for Georgia’s birthday party but have also served them with a chilled glass of white wine before a more formal dinner.  At first I wanted to make only the basic cheese twists, but then decided to spice them up a bit and make…

CURRY PUFFS

I love Thai food.  It is the first Asian cuisine I learnt to enjoy.  I love everything about it: textures, flavours, spices, smells… the full package.  Whenever we go out to eat Thai, curry puffs are always among the appetisers we order.  I love these crunchy little parcels of fried pastry filled with all kinds…

TARALLI

These could be considered the Italian equivalent to pretzels, they are that famous!  They are typical of Apulia, a region in the South of Italy, but you can also find them in the surrounding areas.  Well, nowadays you can easily find them everywhere in Italy and I often find them here too!  Anyhow… on my…

Autumn Fruit Salad

AUTUMN FRUIT SALAD – MACEDONIA AUTUNNALE

This is actually a “non-recipe” as it does not require cooking.  I am a big fan of fruit salads and my mom would very often serve it before any dessert when we had guests over.  It is a very good palette cleanser and it can be as easy or as fancy as you like.  It…
