Bloody Mary Shots

Bloody Mary Shots

I loooove Halloween. It’s obviously not an Italian tradition, but it’s as close as it gets to the Italian Carnevale, which is one of my favourite holidays. Pin It

Italian Salad

Italian Salad

Some readers have asked me to share more Italian side dishes on the blog. I actually hadn’t realised that I didn’t have many! It’s probably because Italian side dishes are pretty easy and straightforward and I never think they are “blog worthy”. But then again, they may be straightforward for me, having grown up in…

Mint Chicken Pita Pockets

Mint Chicken Pita Pockets

These Mint Chicken Pita Pockets are another low-fat lunch idea I developed when I was having gallstone issues. I made it with fat-free mayo, but you can use your favourite brand/type. I used my recipe for Poached Chicken in a Mint Sauce to fill these pita pockets and I also added some lettuce and tomatoes…

Tomato and Labneh Salad with Pomegranate Dressing

Tomato and Labneh Salad with Pomegranate Dressing

Today I want to share with you the recipe for a Middle Eastern inspired salad. I have just recently begun to explore what I call “the amazing world of salads”. It is amazing indeed. Growing up, salad was always lettuce (or tomatoes) dressed with vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and salt. Nothing wrong with that,…

Pizza flavoured Savoury Pastries

PIZZA FLAVOURED SAVOURY PASTRIES

Italian birthday parties always have some sort of savoury pastries in the menu.  I remember my mum buying a huge tray filled with all sorts of what we call “rustici” (small puff pastry parcels filled with different goodies) at our local bakery.  I have always had more of a savoury tooth rather than a sweet…

Malloreddus alla Campidanese

MALLOREDDUS ALLA CAMPIDANESE

This week’s Regional Italian recipe comes from the region of Sardinia or, as we say, Sardegna, one of the 2 biggest islands of Italy (the other being Sicily).  It is a fantastic place with some of the best food and seaside in the world (I am not kidding you).  It is well known in Italy as…

Piadina and Crescione

PIADINA AND CRESCIONE – MARCO’S RECIPE

A few days ago I made and shared with you the recipe of my first piadina: Homemade piadina with prosciutto, stracchino and rocket.  When I shared it on my Facebook page, my friend Marco Drudi, who is from the area in Italy where piadine come from, kindly shared with me his family recipe!  The ingredients…

BOILED SALMON WITH PINK SAUCE – SALMONE LESSATO CON SALSA ROSA

After all the Valentine’s Day sweets I needed to eat something healthy and simple… and what’s healthier than fish?  This is a very quick and easy fish dish.  I have always liked boiled fish with mayo… must be because when I was a child I had a nursery rhymes book about food and one of…
