Caramelized figs, an Italian traditional fruit preserve.

Posted on 14 August 2024

After another long iatus I found enough time to put my hands into wordpress once again.

Not happy about it because the time comes from missing summer holidays due to a back surgery hubby had at the end of July.

We’re stuck at home, he could go out but outside it’s basically an Italian Death Valley so no point in having a walk roasting under the sun with 43°C.

This recipe is in my draft since last year so I’m graciously posting it right now because it’s fig time so my timing it’s ironically perfect!

Pasta with raw veggies: Italian crudaiola.

Posted on 11 August 2024

This is a random recipe my son showed me on Tik Tok.

Why did I do it and why it deserves a post on my blog?

Because my son is ARFID ( always talked about how he had issues with certain foods, mainly for the consistency but only recently I’ve discovered this thing has a name) and he struggle with eating veggiesm especially raw ones.

Spring onion & red chili cornbread.

Posted on 21 April 2019

As often when the daylight starts to stay longer I have problems falling asleep: at midnight I could easily do any kind of chore or spend time with mobile or tv…

Tonight, not knowing what to do while all the other family members were asleep, I checked the WordPress app for mobile; I have it on my phone but never really looked at it, I dedided to give a try writing a post.

I can say what you can do from mobile is just a small part of what I usually do to complete a post: no way to insert recipe box, no way to write the recipe but at least I can write the post and I can feel productive even when I am in bed. 😀

Bigilla, Maltese fava bean puree.

Posted on 16 April 2019

Hi all!

As you see I’m deep into cooking experiments at the moment, so deep I started again with my usual recipe exchange with a close circle of food blogger friends.

Blogs are in italian only so I don’t bother share links you cannot read but I can tell I had to dig deep into the blog I was paired with because it has hundreds, and I mean HUNDREDS of recipes.

Some are local, some come from far, far away: I decided to stay in the middle and I choosed a recipe from Malta, the Bigilla.

Muscovado bundt cake with hazelnut meal and orange juice.

Muscovado bundt cake with hazelnut meal and orange juice: have you ever hear of a similar mix of ingredients?

I didn’t since I read a post on Facebook of a fellow blogger.

I would like to share the post but it’s in Italian only; anyway I want to tell you about this Italian bloggers’ project called KEEP CALM AND WHAT’S FOR DINNER? that brings you every month many recipes you can easily make in about 30 minutes.
