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 […]
Light Meals
Celeriac and Artichoke Soup
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 […]
Miniature Lentil Burgers
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 […]
Courgette and Taleggio Cheese Risotto
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 […]
Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese Risotto
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 […]
Authentic Italian Tomatoes Bruschetta
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 […]
Mixed Vegetables, Legumes and Barley Soup
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 […]
Spinach and Ricotta Spaghetti
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 […]
Red Lentils and Barley Soup
I usually prepare this delicious and wintery soup using the Thermomix that my beloved sister-in-law and her lovely husband gave me and Patrick as a wedding present! The result you’ll obtain by using a non-stick pan will be absolutely the same, the only thing is that you’ll have to stir […]
Roasted Chicken and Pomegranate Salad
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).
