Buttery, garlicky, and perfectly golden, Garlic Scallops take only 15 minutes. A quick sear gives crisp edges and tender flesh, ideal for a light and satisfying meal. After sharing my Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil, I couldn’t resist making another scallop recipe. A couple of weeks ago, I received a surprise delivery from Ferguson…
Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil
Yep. You read that right! Scallops AND Lobster Oil! Intriguing, isn’t it? To tell you the truth, the Lobster Oil was a very pleasant discovery, as I was not familiar with it.

TerraCycle and NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Capsule Recycling Program Review
Coffee is very important for us Italians. I would probably say that it is an essential part of our culture and no good meal is considered as such unless it concludes with a good cup of espresso. One of the main issues Italians have when travelling abroad is the never-ending search for a “good coffee”….

Today I am teaming up with Jomei’s Fine Foods for a very special recipe I developed to showcase their newest product: their Organic Sweet Balsamic Reduction.

Toollio Review
As you know, I love making things from scratch… I have tried my hands at making all kinds of pasta, liqueurs and even cheese. I must admit though that one of the things I like the most making from scratch is smallgoods and sausages. I like the fact that you can be very creative and…

EatNow Review
I was recently asked to review a food ordering website called EatNow and I happily accepted as I find the concept behind it to be very interesting.

Chicken and Sun dried Tomato Rolls #FridgeShelfies
Last week I blogged about PHILADELPHIA #FridgeShelfies, a campaign that wants to inspire Aussies to get more creative in the kitchen, with new and exciting recipes developed using the ingredients already in their fridges. I immediately loved the concept because, let’s face it, that’s what we have to do everyday. We open the fridge and…
