As you know, I love Indian food. Now that I am lactose intolerant and on a Low Fodmap diet, I am trying to adapt a few recipes to make them Low Fodmap. This Low Fodmap Indian Yogurt Dip is one such recipe.
Low Fodmap Tzatziki
I simply adore Greek food and this Low Fodmap Tzatziki is an absolute keeper. Being born in Italy and having spent all my childhood summer holidays in Sicily, Mediterranean food tastes like home to me. It’s simple, with few ingredients and straightforward flavours, just the way I like it.
Sweet Yogurt Braids
During my kids’ winter holidays, I made these Sweet Yogurt Braids to have as a snack. They are healthy and taste delicious. And the best part? The girls loved them! I love sweet breads, don’t you? And these are particularly tasty and they also look cute, which is always a plus, especially for the kids….
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…
Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad
I made this Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad as one of the side dishes for our Christmas Eve dinner, as it paired really well with the stuffing of the roast pork I had made. I loved the blend of Middle Eastern spices that goes into this warm simple salad. Sumac is one of my all time…
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….
Curried Chicken Salad
I love chicken salads, don’t you? I love to eat them plain, but I like to have chicken salad sandwiches even more! This Curried Chicken Salad steps it up a notch from your usual chicken salad, both in flavour and in texture. I love the crunch added by the apples, celery and almonds and the…
Eggless Chocolate Cake
Recently we celebrated my eldest daughter’s 9th birthday. We usually have a party at our place and I take care of the food (remember the Frozen theme?), but this year we had to do something a bit different. Due to my recent surgery, I was not able to organise the usual spread of food, so…
Cookies & Cream Frozen Yogurt
Today’s recipe for Cookies & Cream Frozen Yogurt has been taken from my eBook The Cool Side of Summer. The cookbook contains 25 recipes of my favourite frozen treats: ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, semifreddo, sorbet, granita, popsicles…it’s all there. Italian classics like Milk Gelato, Lemon Sorbet, Mint Granita. But also international flavours like this…
Sweet Yogurt Burek
I discovered today’s recipe by chance. I had some filo pastry in my fridge that begged to be used before drying out and some yogurt that was close to its expiry date. So I was delighted to be able to put them together in this delicious Sweet Yogurt Burek. But what is Burek? It is…
Yogurt Plumcake
Today I am going to share with you a recipe from my childhood. While growing up in Italy, the morning treats I liked the most were small yogurt plumcakes sold by a famous Italian brand. I am not sure how this cake got its name, being that there are no plums in it… but it…
Yogurt and Nutella Ciambellone
Today I want to share with you a classic Italian recipe: Yogurt and Nutella Ciambellone. Ciambellone literally means “big doughnut” and you can easily see why… It is a classic Italian cake and we usually eat it for breakfast. It is soft and moist and it is relatively healthier than other cakes as it does…
Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce
Don’t you just love a good cheesecake? I certainly do! I particularly like today’s recipe as it is a 2 layered cheesecake. The bottom layer is a normal baked vanilla cheesecake, while the top layer also contains Greek Yogurt… this makes the cake a tad lighter to the palate and a bit fluffier on the…
Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
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…
Olaf Yogurt Cake
Here goes the first of the 2 Frozen themed cakes I made for Victoria’s 7th birthday. She took this one to school to celebrate with her friends. The base is a simple eggless yogurt cake: quick and delicious! I love how it turned out. It looked impressive (people were asking where we had bought it…
Verrine Fraicheur
Today’s dish is a very quick recipe. Going through my Visual Archive, I have realised that I do not have many breakfast recipes on the blog. I guess the main reason is because Italians are not big on breakfast. In fact, we mostly have coffee (or cappuccino) and a croissant or cookies. I personally just…
Kaffir Lime and Yogurt Panna Cotta
By now you know how much I love panna cotta. To me, it’s one of the fastest, tastiest and easiest desserts to make. I love that you can make it in advance with minimum effort and present it as a very sophisticated looking dessert to your guests. I have a few panna cotta recipes on…
Aamrakhand
Today’s recipe is an Indian dessert. A few months ago I shared with you the recipe for Shrikhand, a smooth and airy yogurt mousse made with hung curd, sugar, saffron, cardamom and nuts. Today, I am going to show you how to make what is basically a mango flavoured Shrikhand, called Aamrakhand. The recipe is…
Eggless Yogurt Cake
Yogurt cake is one of the very first recipes I have published on my site over 3 years ago. It has always been one of my favourite cakes: easy to make, delicious and quite healthy (for being a cake) as it does not contain any butter. It is also a very versatile cake as it…
MIFFY CAKE
My little Georgia loves Miffy. She has had a Miffy doll since she ws very little and has never separated from it. She sleeps with it and takes it everywhere she goes… it even came with us to Tahiti! So when I asked her what cake she wanted for her 4th birthday party she had…
CHILLED YOGURT CAKE WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE
Today’s dessert is a cold treat and it is one that is actually not too bad for you as it is made (mainly) with natural yogurt. Back in Italy there is a famous pre mixed version of this that is sold in little boxes… you mix in some fresh ingredients and there you have your…
TINKERBELL CAKE
My eldest daughter Victoria loves Tinkerbell… she has all 4 movies and watches them endlessly together with her little sister. They sit together on the couch, under a blanket and watch these movies with great pleasure. When the time to choose her birthday cake came, she requested a “Tinky Cake”. I immediately decided to make…
