Good old fashioned Aussie rissoles. A quick Google search tells me they are actually of French origin, but nevertheless, most Aussie kids grew up eating them and they are often on the menu when I visit mum. My mum’s rissoles are simple to make with minimal ingredients but full of flavour. You can add your…
Caramelised Onion and Tomato Quiche
Ciao from isolation…. never thought I would ever write that sentence – but more about that later. First the food. I have a classic French Quiche recipe for you today. Quiche is wonderfully versatile and super easy to make. I have used caramelised onions, beautifully ripe tomatoes and for a slight Italian twist, dollops of…
Tuscan Kale and Ricotta Pie
It may be getting cold here in Firenze but the city is more beautiful than ever. The Christmas lights are up all over the city, there are idyllic Christmas markets with mulled wine and delicious treats, and Harry said to me yesterday that he loves Florence. This made me so happy! Harry and I have…
Pasta al Limone – because we moved to Italy!
Dinner ready in 10 minutes? Pasta al limone is for you…. But first… yes I finally did it. I moved us both to Florence Italy. My son H and I are both on this amazing Italian adventure. It has been just over two months and it still feels like a dream. Food is my passion but I have…
Traditional French Chocolate Mousse
Chocolate mousse is my current addiction… and there will be none of that healthy avocado cocoa business here… this is a traditional French chocolate mousse – dark chocolate, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla. It’s velvety, thick and super rich but also somewhat light and fluffy! I could eat the entire bowl on my own! It’s easy to…
Pappardelle Bolognese with lot of veggies
I’m sharing another H favourite with you today. Pappardelle bolognese with lot of hidden veggies. The rich bolognese sauce will feed about 6 people or freeze what you don’t use for another time. I always have some in my freezer ready to go. An important step when making this dish is to get a nice…
Lamb Shanks with Chickpeas, Tomatoes & Thyme
It has been so long since I have cooked lamb shanks – I’m not sure why! There is something so satisfying about cooking a tough piece of meat and turning it into something super tender and melt-in-your-mouth. This dish is just that… the tomatoes and spices produce a rich chunky sauce, and the chickpeas add…
Roasted Rhubarb Chia Pots
These pretty little roasted rhubarb chia pots make a wonderful breakfast or healthy dessert. The rhubarb is roasted with strawberries, orange juice, zest and a good drizzle of honey – the only sweetener in this recipe. The chia pudding has 3 ingredients only and will thicken in the fridge after an hour or so. I…
Hemp seed and Apricot Energy Balls
Energy balls, bliss balls, apricot balls, whatever you want to call them, are delicious little things that are perfect for lunch boxes and a quick snack. My energy balls contain hemp seeds which have a rich nutrition profile with high levels of antioxidants, fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. They also contain oats, chia seeds, unsweetened coconut, dried…
One-pan Spiced Chicken with Tomatoes
This one-pan spiced chicken with tomatoes is H’s absolute favourite dish. Ever since I made it the first time he has requested it again and again. He loves to drown his rice in all the spiced tomatoes juices that happen once it’s cooked. It’s a real winner. It’s also minimum fuss and happens in the…
