Vegan Custard with Strawberry sauce

Wow guys, seriously… where did this week go?? It is Sunday already! I am finally out of my backache so I can start cooking again, and I am trying to write my new recipe despite my cat Kara fascination with my Mac. Seriously, she loves my computer more than me…. Anyhow, to re-start nice and slow,…

Prawns “Al Bacio”

Any time is a good time for a sexi/romantic/ super easy recipe. “Al Bacio” means roughly “To perfection” in Italian, but bacio means kiss. After all, I am Italian, and even if I am far far away, romanticism is written in my DNA. Well… sort of. Let’s say it is. This dish in particular reminds me of…

We attended some lessons and it was a revelation! Step by…

Strawberry Crostata

This is THE cake! It brings up so many memories…. My Mum was not very creative herself, but she loved following new recipes from the books and from friends. I have a book back home in Italy that I deem super precious because it contains all my Mum’s hand written recipes on top of the book…
