All Passions Start in the Kitchen
My dear friends, I hope you’re all safe and as happy as possible in this difficult time of our lives. It’s been more than one year since I published a recipe here but I never stopped cooking and I decided this was the perfect recipe to start posting again as […]
Dear friends, here is the other risotto recipe I was talking about: my husband loves courgettes and the combination of this vegetable with the gentle yet complex and winey flavour of Taleggio is absolutely delicious. Taleggio, for those who haven’t cooked with this great Italian cheese before, is produced in […]
Hello my friends! I eventually find the time to upload the recipes of some of the experiments I’ve been doing recently! A few weeks ago I really fancied a risotto for dinner, so I decided to please everyone making to different risottos with two of our favourite vegetables. I love […]
Hi friends, I just finished baking these biscuits as in the last few mornings my husband has been spreading Nutella on top of each slice of orange cake, so I thought it could have been a good treat for him to have chocolate and orange biscuits for tomorrow’s breakfast! Their […]
This is a cake I made to celebrate a weekend with a great friend of mine: there’s nothing I like more than having to prepare breakfast for people I love! I really loved the result of this experiment as this cake is incredibly moist and flavourful, and I will soon […]
Hello my friends!!! One baby girl and a house move later and I’m finally back! I’ve never stopped cooking in the last few months, but it’s been hard to find the time to upload my latest experiments. This morning I woke up and the weather here in Ascot was horrible, […]
Hello my friends! It’s been a while since I last uploaded any recipe, but I promise I have been cooking all summer long and I will share all my trusted recipes as soon as possible! This afternoon I had to stop cooking for a while and sit at my computer […]
After a long time of not sharing any recipes (sorry about that but I have been extremely busy recently), I decided to give you this super easy and always successful recipe for one of my favourite Italian starters: tomatoes bruschetta! A few days ago I went for a bread-making course […]
Even if it’s already Spring, in the last few days the evenings in London have been really cold and I have been coming home at night with a desire for something hot and comforting to be prepared quickly. This hearty soup has been my solution to lots of mid-week dinners […]
It took me a while to end up with what I consider the perfect banana muffin recipe, but, in the end, I think I managed to make them very similar to the Starbucks ones… But with much less butter! These muffins are perfect for breakfast or for a snack and […]
I came out with this recipe on a day when I was feeling like having a good portion of Italian home made ravioli but it was too late to prepare them, even if I had all the ingredients. The texture and taste of these spaghetti are absolutely incredible so I […]
After sharing with you some of my weekend’s early morning treats, I feel it’s time to tell you how I start all my weekdays (rose apart)! After our last holidays in the Maldives where I had the most delicious bircher muesli I’ve ever tried, I was inspired to create something […]
As you can tell from the pictures (photo number 2 below taken just after half an hour of the cake being out of the oven!), this crostata is always a great success! I baked it at 9 this evening to have it ready for tomorrow’s breakfast… but almost half of […]
This delicious recipe is perfect for Summer and comes from my beloved sister in law, Miki, who’s no doubt the best amateur cook I’ve ever came across. When we spend the Summer together in our country house in Italy she spoils us with amazing food, and this is for sure […]
I decided to prepare this tart a few days after Christmas as I had some ricotta cheese left and a puff pastry sheet. The result was really tasty so I hope you’ll enjoy it too! SERVES: 8 people KITCHEN TO TABLE: 30min + 40min cooking DIFFICULTY: INGREDIENTS: Use this […]
These tiny super-chocolaty cookies are always a great success. After a long working day at the hospital you’ll need something sweet and comforting- these mouthful, super easy cookies will surprise you with their soft Nutella heart… and the shortest cooking time ever- just 8 minutes! SERVES: 25 mini-cookies Kitchen to […]
This is a super-easy recipe I invented when I came across a pomegranate and it was lunchtime. You’ll just need a very good non-stick pan and a little bit of patience, to take out the seeds from the pomegranate fruit (I personally find the pomegranate seeds they sell ready to eat quite tasteless). […]
Hello my friends! Here is my latest favourite soup, a real winter warmer, very much needed these days as England is extremely cold and snowy! For the flavour combination I took inspiration from a soup I recently had in a nice pub near where we recently moved, for the execution […]
OMG! I’m always quite shy about promoting my recipes but this is really good stuff! And the recipe was created on the spot as I didn’t have any meat at home but I really wanted to eat some sort of burgers for dinner. I advise you prepare them for an […]
