“Modern cakes” (torte moderne in Italian) have become very popular lately, also thanks to some of the most popular TV shows. My impression is that you need to have a lot of tools (which I do not have – yet! 🙂 ) but I have tried a couple of recipes, with some improvisation. The final …
If you were asked what’s the recipe/dish you’ve made the most during lockdown, what would you say? For us, there are a few good options, and making homemade pasta is one of them. It was one of our most loved activities during lockdown weekends and still is. We love it in all shapes, be it …
8th March is International Women’s Day and for the occasion I attempted a mimosa tart. Mimosa is a flower with golden yellow blooms that blossoms in this period of the year and that has become the symbol of Women’s Day. I have seen mimosa plants on a couple of places here in the UK, which …
It’s Chinese New Year tomorrow and for the occasion, I prepared some delicious vegetarian dumplings. I did not make the pastry from scratch but bought dumpling wraps from the local Asian market, which can make your life so much easier! This is actually my first Chinese recipe on the blog! I love Chinese food, but …
This past January I decided to eliminate meat from my diet. I allowed fish once or twice a week, but the rest of my meals were all plant-based. I have cooked a lot of vegetarian recipes, some of them completely vegan. This recipe is actually vegetarian (as I have sprinkled the pasta with Parmigiano before …

It lasts for two weeks and all kind of sweets are allowed during that time, especially the fried ones! The most common sweets are Crostoli (also called Chiacchere or Frappe), and I posted the recipe on Instagram …
St Valentine’s is approaching and all I can think of is chocolate!!! This cake is perfect for all the chocoholics out there! The added spoon of tahini (sesame paste) in the batter works well and gives it a nutty flavour, but this is totally optional and you do not need to use it. The chocolate …
This yogurt-based sauce works perfectly as a side dish to a spicy curry or enjoy it alone with some homemade naan bread. This is another recipe I tried from Healthy Indian Vegetarian by Chetna Makan. To make the tadka, the original recipe calls for panch poran, but I instead used a mix of seeds, which …
I have always wanted to make my own naan bread. They are much softer and you will never go back to shop-bought naan. Some effort and time are needed, but all worth it! With this recipe, you will be able to make 8 small naans, approximately 15-18 cm long.
Hello everyone again! After my previous post about a wonderful Vegan Roast Cauliflower Curry, here’s another #vegan Indian inspired recipe. You’ll have to bear with me, as once I cook Indian, I prepare at least 3 different dishes. It has to be a proper curry feast, right? This is one of the quickest dal soups …
