Blueberry Lavender Swirl Yogurt Popsicles

Blueberry Lavender Swirl Yogurt Popsicles

I LOVE frozen yogurt, don’t you? I love the tangy flavour of the yogurt and during a hot day, I find it extremely refreshing. Besides, when you are trying to eat low-fattish (is that even a word??), it is the best alternative to full fat ice cream. These Blueberry Lavender Swirl Yogurt Popsicles are so…

Nutella Cheesecake with Nutella Ganache

Nutella Cheesecake with Nutella Ganache #WorldNutellaDay

Happy World Nutella Day everyone! As I am sure you have noticed from my latest Round-Up, I already have plenty of recipes that feature Nutella among the ingredients. I grew up eating it and I still love it. And so do my kids, so, World Nutella Day is a day we always celebrate happily. While…

Double Chocolate Cupcakes

Double Chocolate Cupcakes

I made these Double Chocolate Cupcakes for my youngest daughter’s birthday party in December and they were a hit with both adults and kids alike. I must admit that I usually do not like buttercream, as it is usually way too sweet for my taste, but this chocolate version got me hooked! I guess it’s…

Blueberry Limoncello Yogurt Ciambellone

Blueberry Limoncello Yogurt Ciambellone

Don’t you think that Blueberry and Lemon is the perfect combination of flavours? I certainly do! And even more so when liquor is involved! This Limoncello Blueberry Yogurt Ciambellone is AMAZING in flavour and texture. The cake is fluffy and light with a good hint of lemon and the blueberry make it even more moist….

Almond Shortbread Cookies

Almond Shortbread Cookies

I know we have probably over eaten during these holidays, but if you are still craving cookies (I always am!), I have the perfect recipe for you! I made these Almond Shortbread Cookies for a friend who is gluten intolerant. I was actually going to make my Flourless Chocolate and Pear Cake (which is AMAZING!),…

Blueberry Lavender Syrup

Blueberry Lavender Syrup

I love today’s recipe. I am a huge fan of using edible flowers in cooking, especially in desserts and this Blueberry Lavender Syrup is a must-try recipe. It is very easy to make and the lavender adds a special touch to the (already delicious) blueberry syrup. Besides, I love how versatile this syrup is. You…

Goan Marzipan

Goan Marzipan

With today’s post, I will take you all back to India, Goa to be precise. A few days ago, I shared with you the recipe for Milk Cream – a  delicious cashew nut and milk fudge, and today I am back with another Goan delicacy traditionally made for Christmas: Goan Marzipan. We all know what…

Milk Cream

Milk Cream

Today I will take you all to India with me – to beautiful sunny Goa, to be precise – and I will show you how to make Milk Cream. Milk Cream is a cashew nut and milk fudge that is traditionally made by Goan Catholics for Christmas. It is very likely a local adaptation of…

Doraemon Cake

Doraemon Cake

My youngest daughter turned 7 on the 1st of December. She fell in love with Doraemon when we visited Japan a couple of years ago and this year she requested a Japanese themed birthday party and a Doraemon cake! As I too love Japan and grew up watching Japanese anime (Doraemon included!), I was very…

Strawberries in White Wine

Strawberries in White Wine

Today I am going to share with you a very quick and easy end of meal recipe: Strawberries in White Wine. This recipe is similar to the Peaches in Wine recipe I have already shared with you and, just like it, this too can easily substitute dessert, as the wine becomes almost a strawberry flavoured…

Castagnaccio

Castagnaccio

Today I am back with a traditional Italian recipe: Castagnaccio. It is a typically autumnal dessert found in the Tuscany, Liguria, Piedmont, and Emilia-Romagna regions of Italy. It is made from a batter of chestnut flour, water, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, and raisins, which is mixed until smooth and then baked. There are…

Pine Nut Cake

Pine Nut Cake

Today’s recipe is one of my favourite cakes. It is a Pine Nut Cake, traditionally from the southern Italian city of Naples. I love anything made with crostata crust as base, but this cake takes it up a notch, with its creamy semolina, milk and pine nut filling. Like the majority of my favourite recipes,…

Lime Leaf Crème Brûlée

Lime Leaf Crème Brûlée

Today’s recipe was born as an experiment. It’s spring here in Sydney and my lime tree has got lots of new leaves. When I touched them, I got overwhelmed by their delicious aroma. In the south of Italy, lemon leaves are often used in cooking, so I thought of experimenting with the lime leaves instead….

Nutella Roses

Nutella Roses

I love making puff pastry treats, both savoury and sweet. I always have some puff pastry in the freezer and I like the fact that working with it is easy and quick. I have already showed you how to make Apple Roses using puff pastry, and today I am going to show you how to…

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…

Strawberry Granita

Strawberry Granita

The weather here is getting warmer and strawberries are in season, sweet and full of flavour!  So I didn’t think twice and took my ice cream machine out to make this easy and delicious Strawberry Granita! Italians are famous for their frozen treats and we often have granita for breakfast. Make sure to serve this strawberry…

Ghastly Bark

Anyhow, this year I am going to share with you a tutorial on…

Apple Orange Hand Pies

Apple Orange Hand Pies

I know I have already said this, but apple desserts are among my favourites. I must admit that I am not a huge fan of raw apples (even though they are really good for you!), but cooked apples are a totally different matter. I love the taste, the consistency… everything! And these Apple Orange Hand…

Apple filled Cookies

Apple filled Cookies

I must admit that we never ate many sweets in my home. My mum is a fantastic cook, but she never really liked baking. One of the exceptions was her Crostata di Mele (click here for the recipe), which till today is still my favourite cake. There is nothing better than biting into sweet crumbly…

Pear Gorgonzola Gelato in Hazelnut Balsamic Tuiles

Pear Gorgonzola Gelato in Hazelnut Balsamic Tuiles

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.  The moment I tasted it, I knew I wanted to make something sweet with it, but I wanted to go beyond the usual pairing of balsamic vinegar and strawberries. You…

Gravity Defying M&M’s Kit Kat Cake

Gravity Defying M&M’s Kit Kat Cake

I made this Gravity Defying M&M’s Kit Kat Cake for my eldest daughter’s 9th birthday. I usually make fondant cakes for my kids’ birthdays, but this year I decided to go for something “easier”. I have recently undergone surgery, so I did not have a lot of time for “planning” this cake. Besides, my daughter…
