TEQUILA SUNDOWN
Valentine’s Day is coming soon! I will be sharing the recipe for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift in my next post, so stay tuned! In the meantime, I thought of sharing a drink recipe. I would have wanted to re-create a more distinct “sundown” effect in the drink, but I had no luck… I tried it twice and the result was the same. Anyhow, they still looked cute and tasted great, so I won’t complain too much. If you have any tips on how to keep the colours separate, please let me know!!! In the meantime… cheers! <3 Continue reading →
Print PDF OCTOPUS SALAD
Today I want to share with you a very easy dish. In fact, it is almost a “non-recipe” as all you have to do is cut the ingredients and mix them together. Well, you may have to boil the octopus and potatoes too if you cannot find them ready. But that’s about it. I used to eat a lot of this during my summer holidays in Sicily, so it brings back lots of beautiful memories. It makes a great light main dish or a classy starter. Enjoy! Continue reading →
Print PDF GORGONZOLA SOUFFLÉ
Ok, I guess by now you all know how much I love gorgonzola… so I won’t bore you with that… suffice it to say that I often have some in my fridge. The other day, I just wanted to cook something new with it. There are certain dishes that I have always been scared to make at home, but ever since I started blogging, the list of these “scary items” is reducing by the day! I now often find myself daring to cook completely out of my comfort zone, and I have to admit that I love it! I am starting to realise that there is (almost) nothing you cannot do at home… it may not come out perfect, it may require a few attempts and tweaks to get it right, but it will work out eventually. Well, soufflé was one of the dishes on my “scary items” list… and it was actually pretty high on the list!!! After making it though, I must admit I have no idea why it scared me so much! It was so much easier to make than I expected! And quite quick to whip up too… it puffed up beautifully and I even managed to take a couple of pictures of it before it started to deflate! So… there you have it: my gorgonzola soufflés! And don’t be afraid to try it! Continue reading →
Print PDF TUSCAN CABBAGE SOUP
Today I am going to share with you the recipe for one of my favourite soups. I know it’s summer here, but to tell you the truth, it has been a rather unusual summer… quite cool and rainy. And I am thankful for that as it makes it easier to have a healthy and tasty soup for dinner!! This is a recipe from Tuscany and it is part of my series on Regional Italian dishes. It is made with Tuscan cabbage and it is a very hearty dish that is very easy to make. I love the addition of polenta to it and if, like me, you like thicker and creamier soups, this is the perfect dish for you. Enjoy… and don’t forget to take a look at all the other Regional Italian dishes that I have already posted. Continue reading →
