Ricciarelli – Italian Almond Biscuits

18/01/2021 By Gina Leave a Comment

Since I saw the lovely Silvia Collica make Ricciarelli recently (see here for the recipe and video) I have been playing around with the recipe for this very moorish traditional Italian biscuit. I love almonds in biscuits, and realise that many nationalities – mine included being Maltese – will have their own versions similar to…

Veggie Patties

15/11/2020 By Gina Leave a Comment

It is sometimes hard to get a good tasty veggie patty … so in this recipe I have included ingredients which provide lots of umami flavour:  dried mushrooms, parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. I have been making these patties for a couple of years, and decided last week it was high time that I shared…

Indian Style Yoghurt Dipping Sauce and / or Dressing

09/11/2020 By Gina Leave a Comment

I have always loved Indian food!  And I remember in my early 20’s attending an Indian Vegetarian Cooking Class in my local area of the Northern Beaches in Sydney. At that class we made a cooked yoghurt sauce to serve with our veggies.  The sauce was delicious, but what I didn’t like so much is…

Lemon Curd Slice

02/09/2020 By Gina 2 Comments

Sometimes I’m lucky and I can finalise a recipe within three attempts at it.  And sometimes it takes a little longer, and this recipe is one of those. I knew what I wanted … a really crisp and tasty base that won’t go soft in the fridge over a few days with the curd sitting…

Potato Salad with Creamy Herb Dressing and Chorizo

21/07/2020 By Gina Leave a Comment

My family loves potatoes … in any form!  And I have always loved a good potato salad that can be reinvented for another use if there are leftovers … and this is the perfect dish for that. It is a salad in its first life, but it is a large salad catering for 8 to…

Hazelnut Chocolate Cookies

16/06/2020 By Gina Leave a Comment

What do you do when all you can think of is your favourite chocolate Baci (see here)!!!!! So this recipe is inspired by those wonderful chocolates, and in my mind are a baked version with the flavour reminiscent of that delicious hazelnut and chocolate combination. These cookies are very easy to make, but if you…

This recipe for Mini Pavlova is adapted from my Pavlova – Version 2 recipe (see here). For lots of hints and tips on dealing with any meringue, please see the link to Pavlova – Version 1 recipe  (see here) which covers that in detail. One important point though that I wish to emphasise is to…

Pavlova – Version 2

10/06/2020 By Gina Leave a Comment

I already have a Pavlova recipe on the website (see here) which I have just renamed:   “Pavlova – Version 1”. For some time however I have wanted to try the recipe baking the pavlova for longer, at a lower temperature, to see if I was able to get a firmer base crust and sides…
