Aloha! I am not quite sure on how to start this post… I was thinking to sing “So this is Xmas, and what have you done…” but it reminded me of nice but sad ol’ times, so I decided to go with this line from John Wick “I am thinking I am back!”. The difference…
Yo fellows! Summer is coming here down under, and all of a sudden I feel the need to eat healthier and to reach my goal of being as thin as a fairy. Needless to say, I inevitably look more like an eggplant or a pumpkin, however this gives me the opportunity to create some tasty…
People! I am still stunned by how quickly time is passing by…. I mean, I don’t want to be the Cliche’ Land Queen but seriously! This September has been one of the busiest months I have ever had, I wasn’t that busy since my wedding… well actually not even then. September also marks the beginning of…
Today it was a rather gloomy day, perfect to dedicate some time to the kitchen and in particular to a sweet recipe. If you have never heard of crostoli, they are a special cake we normally prepare during Carnival in my region, and in all northern Italy. It is a pastry and the consistency of the…
Hello beautiful people! So, where I have been you ask? Well I won’t pretend: at the moment there is much going on that I barely have the time to cook (which makes my pizza place particularly happy). Just yesterday I had my IELTS test, and I am still looking for a new place to live,…
Another night, another dish, another memory… in case you have never noticed, cooking plays an extremely important part in my life. It is in particular the way I have to bring memories back to life and to feel closer to my loved ones. A study I read not long ago says that the memories connected…
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,…
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…
Believe it or not, not all Italians are plumbers named Mario or Luigi, and most definitely not all Italian women are blondies named Peach. However, I can rather confidently say that all Italians love pizza, and this is not just a stereotype. We grow up waiting for the magic night were mom and dad either…
Just so we are clear… this is not an actual salami, so no meat involved here!!! Moreover, this is actually a vegan chocolate chorizo…. if you like chocolate and the illusion of being healthy, well, this is the cake for you! My husband is the real specialist here. He loved this dessert so much that…
