Manu from Manu’s Menu was our Daring Cooks lovely June hostess and has challenged us to make traditional Italian cannelloni from scratch! We were taught how to make the pasta, filling, and sauces shared with us from her own and her family’s treasured recipes! WHAT?? Yes, you read that right!!! I was this month’s hostess…
SOPAIPILLAS CON PEBRE Y PASADAS
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…
ASPARAGUS RISOTTO WITH RASPADÜRA
Today I want to share with you the recipe for a risotto I made a little while ago. I think it it the perfect spring dish. I know that many of my readers are in the northern hemisphere (and I still have trouble adjusting to the fact that May is autumn down here!), so I…
ROAST TOMATO, ROCKET AND MACADAMIA SALAD
This is the salad I served as one of the sides for my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” party for Foodbuzz 24×24. It is one of those salads with fancy names that you could easily see on a café menu, yet it is very easy and quick to make at home. These are the…
SAVOURY ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
I must confess that while I am (still) pretty successful feeding vegetables to my 2 year old, I more often fail with my almost 5 year old. She is such a fussy eater, so when I saw this recipe I could not resist it and made it immediately: it was a success! I LOVE savoury…
SPAGHETTI WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ANCHOVIES
Yes! Finally I get to share with you a spaghetti recipe! Strangely enough, I seldom do… I think it must be because for an Italian, spaghetti are a staple and I tend to forget how delicious they are. This is a very simple yet delicious recipe for one of the tastiest spaghetti sauces ever. Like…
EGGPLANT & TRI-COLOUR GOAT CHEESE MILLE-FEUILLE ON COUSCOUS
Our April 2012 Daring Cooks hosts were David & Karen from Twenty-Fingered Cooking. They presented us with a very daring and unique challenge of forming our own recipes by using a set list of ingredients! Sounds easy, uh? Well… sort of… at least until I read the lists! Here they go: List 1: Parsnips, Eggplant…
CAPONATA
After sharing with you the recipe for cabbuci, today I am back with the second part of my Italian Regional dish series. We are back in Sicily and I am going to show you how to make one of the most popular dishes of the island: caponata. It could be described as a cooked salad…
ZUCCHINI FLOWER AND SAFFRON RISOTTO IN A PARMIGIANO REGGIANO BASKET
When Divya from Flavour Fiesta asked me to write a recipe for her beautiful magazine I was really excited! I have always liked her website and I simply love her magazine: content, style, photos… everything! You MUST check it out, trust me!!! When she said the theme would be spring I was intrigued and I…
BAKED WITLOF WITH HAM AND SWISS EMMENTAL
Today I want to share with you the recipe for a comforting side dish. I love witlof (endive) and I usually eat it raw, but when I saw this recipe, I coud not resist and I had to try it. It was fantastic and I will definitely make it again. It could be a good…
ORECCHIETTE CON VERDURA RIPASSATA – ORECCHIETTE WITH SPICY VEGGIES
Steph from Stephfood was our Daring Cooks‘ July hostess. Steph challenged us to make homemade noodles without the help of a motorized pasta machine. She provided us with recipes for Spätzle and Fresh Egg Pasta as well as a few delicious sauces to pair our noodles with! Needless to say I couldn’t have been more…
BEEF AND VEGETABLE PATTIES
Do you have fussy eaters at home? I sure do… my preschooler just refuses to eat any vegetables at all. So, like many moms out there with the same problem, I have to think of ways to make her eat her veggies. I often “hide” them in foods that she enjoys eating and these patties…
PASTA WITH CREAMY BROCCOLI AND PINE NUT SAUCE
I have always liked broccoli (which in Italian are referred to as “broccoletti” to differentiate them from the big roman or purple broccoli), even as a child. Then again, I also used to like brussel sprouts, so I guess I was not a fussy child when it came to eating my veggies. Anyhow, this very…
"LIGHT" SWEET AND SOUR CAPSICUMS – PEPERONATA "LIGHT"
I love all things “sweet and sour”, or as we say “agrodolce”. There are many versions of this dish… I could say that probably every family has its own. In our home, we have 2 recipes! This is the “light” version, as the capsicums are not fried. It is really tasty and its tangy flavour…
